Bashiok has shared with us the final plan for the amount of heroes you will be able to create per region.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Is the 10 character limit purely for the D3 beta? Or will we be limited to 10 characters for the full game?
We're sticking with a 10 character limit per region for the foreseeable future.

Poll Recap - Hardcore Vs Softcore
Awhile ago we had highlighted some recent polls on DiabloFans. One of the more interesting polls was the debate between playing Softcore or Hardcore in Diablo III. Obviously, most players chose to play softcore given the numerous deaths most of us will face but there are a few daring players who want to risk it all with Hardcore. Whether or not Inferno changes their mind, at least upon death, players will still be able to view their slain heroes with their new Hall of the Dead feature.
Beta Screenshots
In the first screenshot, we see a Wizard using Arcane Orb to obliterate some skeletons in his way. Next, we have a Wizard fighting Manglemaw, a unique Unburied guarding the path to the King's Crown. Lastly, a Monk is making fast work of Headcleaver to save Deckard Cain.
And I will be play softcore the first time through regardless. But once I get familiar with the game and all the mechanics, then I might attempt some harcore.
We already knew 10 characters, what's new and awesome is it's 10 per region, we never had that confirmed. This is great news
I can't see the point of making more than 5 toons, though ? Why bother ? Maybe some hardcore toons, but even then, that's 10 max.
What's good is people thought it was going to be 10 total. But its confirmed 10 per region so we can have more than 10
Maybe Blizz will add the chance to buy character slot later (both via gold or real money)
7781 punches...I'm also more likely to play on different regions now that they've confirmed it's not 10 total. Thank goodness for that.
10 per region, you can have more than 10
Well that depends on how the US region is split up? Also a lot of people here WILL be playing 2 reigns, US and EU as this site has so many members from all over, people are going to want to play with some of their other forum members, cross region is going to happen a lot. And its good news and important to note, that these other regions dont count to an overall 10, but to a region 10.
I hope to be able to play on the US realm(s?) with no latency issues, that would double the lot at the very least.
No, I don't very much like the idea of selling characters, I create them and grow affectionate to each of them and no, respeccing is not the best solution to me, I like to create a char from scratch.
I could delete previous ones but it feels so wrong...
I understand that other players don't think this will be a limiting factor....but for me, and others like me, it will reduce the fun a bit.
Still, the game will have is rules and I'll have to choose between playing it the way it is or to not play it at all.
Then you could sign in from your PC at home or wherever?
o.0 if you buy a second game.
Yeah me too, I've played Skyrim with one character for more than 105hours...and I'm still gonna play till I'm done with everything!
I wouldnt be paying attention to that kind of stuff in the video.. they are 100% just to get an "idea" of what its going to look like, small stuff like that is most likley nothing to worry about for live.
Some people will complain about anything. [rolls_eyes]
