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.
once i feel the need to delete a character just to re-make a new one (like i did in WoW after 3 years) its time to quit, permanantly. which i did, right as soon as i realized i was doing this^
on a side note, is D3 one game dvd one account? (my mind is really feeling blank at the moment....hmmm that means i would have forgotten all of the stupid people I met today :D)
As for Manasource123, I can tell you, being a long time D2 player that for me, playing the game was so much more than just endgame, actually I had much more fun trying out new builds and seeing how they fare on the various difficulties. For me the journey to the endgame was the most important. Therefore if I have to delete a character I spent hours upon hours training and brought all the way to the end of the game every time I want to start out a brand new build, it becomes a problem.
This swapping of items and runes each time isn't just a nuisance in my eyes, but it will also take up a good chunk of your inventory.
It's not like you would ever get 100s of character slots, so there's going to be a limit regardless. You'd have to delete characters anyways. You can just as easily do that with 10 as you could 15 or 20.
Please don't try to argue that you need 20 or 30 or whatever of the same lvl 60 class. You would never play most of them. They would just sit there.
i do understand why people remake characters. because they have no life and feel the need to repeat exact content over and over and over to avoid the real world. lolol
Ok well that does answer one half of a point. The gear itself will take up valuable space regardless, and there is no answer to this other than the expected "who will have more than 1 of each class for sc/hc?".
I see what you're saying, but don't you think the chosen number of 10 is just a little extreme? It's not equivalent to 20 because of how many characters exist as well as the sc/hc modes. If there were 2-3 characters, then yes 10 would be enough, but with 5 characters and 2 play modes, that's already 10 right there. There is no room on top of that.
If you managed to max out (or are even working on) all the characters in each sc and hc mode, then a mate of yours joins the game and you want to play with him - you're telling me that the only way to do this is to delete one of your characters? If the limit was 15 or 20 then at least you have room to move around.
Congratulations, you've just managed to strengthen lMarcusl's point that you don't know what you're talking about.
I doubt it. I'm sure they've already read the threads that give valid reasons why 10 is just too small a limit, and they haven't raised the cap because of that.
Finally, 10 per region while useful for those that will be jumping between regions, what about those that will be sticking to one region but do want to have multiple builds per character, or at least the flexibility to create more than 10 for the reasons I've already stated?
And I can't really see anyone playing D3 seriously in a distant region that would give them horrible latency. 10 per region is just a cop-out in my opinion.
yes because i was being completely serious. theres no point in explaining further what i already said, his reply was just angry because he's one of the wacko's who likes to remakes characters over and over just because. lol
the new signatures keep me from +1'ing you....
