Now, I know this is an old kind of topic but I did some research and found some things that were from 2010. Almost everyone was saying that we couldn't have the 7th character because KI wants you to buy another subscription and make another account. Someone said that KI said they'll never allow another character slot.
Other said there's no room in the classroom, but there are literally open seats in the top corners.
So, I was wondering if KI ever changed their minds and ever have plans in the future to add the 7th character slot.
It's really bugging me not being able to create a wizard
In a previous KI Live event, they had mentioned that they had talked about it internally. That's all we got for feedback on this. That said, I HOPE it's a correct memory I have of it, but if it's not, I apologize in advance for getting peoples' hopes up
You should be able to make as many wizards per account as there are schools. Maybe even be able to make 2 wizards per school (2 death, 2 fire, 2 storm, etc)
I know some people that have multiple accounts with so many wizards.
it's to make you choose, like pokemon for example... with the starters, there's gonna be that last pokemon just sitting there neverr used, and i mean sure you could "delete" ya game and choose it, or use a second account to own it, but the fact that thee is a choice where no matter the outcome you can't be 100% with out sacrificing something, which in returns doesnt make you 100% still... hopefully that clears it up, you only get 6 to make you choose which school is better than the rest...

I disagree that it is to make you decide which school is best. My theory is they are trying to decide if it is worth it monetarily. Because you can not make all 7 classes many people do get a second account. The question that they are still debating, in my opinion is do they make more money with people having to make a second account or if they were to buy the 7th slot. I still wish that they would allow the 7th slot as I think people will still do both.
In the early days there may have been an issue of server capacity. Used to be no one could have more than 3 houses, nor more than 80 items total in a backpack - for members and 'free to play' folks both. Everything we do in the game takes up memory on a server somewhere.
They could probably handle it now (having seven characters) but, as others have pointed out, might find it more profitable to have people start second accounts.
I too just asked about this again as well. I really want a balance wizard and there is room in beginning screen, since one is standing, the one you're choosing.
The thing I wonder is who buys the second account just to play the last school? I bought my second account for an entirely different reason I wanted to help myself quest and currently have both accounts full. I am not sure if people can reasonably justify a second subscription just to play one more wizard tbh. If it was just to have that last school people would never buy a third, fourth or more subscription. Giving us one more space on each account would not stop people buying further accounts by a huge amount in my opinion.
Honestly? If you want to have one of each school on a single account, more power to you. Go ahead.
But realistically, it makes so much more sense to have another account. Put hitters on one account and support characters on another. KI even takes request to accommodate this when you have them linked and with year membership - you can transfer a wizard from one account to another.
Because like... dude, running through the game with two characters together is SO much faster than trying to solo it. I have three accounts. One is just a balance. One is ice, myth and life. One is death, fire and storm.
The synergy of even two characters you can control is unrivaled.
So yeah, I say give those players who have all schools but one an extra space if they gotta have it. But memberships will sell themselves regardless because of that synergy. Even KI probably knows this. And they miss a lot.

i know!!! run with my ice wizard, and my Life, ice, death, balance wizard (yes 4 schools in one) is sooo much easier exta heals, weakness, feint.. easier gauntlets, so fastr mega snacks

If memory is a problem then make a requirement for it like crowns or maybe a max wizard requirement, for example there could be a requirement for having 3+ max wizards to gain the 7th slot. Not very many people have 3 max wizards so this would encourage players to spend more time and money on their game for their 7th slot without taking up too much game memory. Of course, this requirement can be changed to 4+,5+ or maybe even 6+.

More power to you if you can use all four slots in a battle. I can't do it. Too much to keep track of where as 3 is manageable.
Plus, I'd imagine that you sometimes can't get that fourth into the battle in time, yeah?
But the only instance where I've even needed all slots have been Tartarus stun runs, Darkmoor, and Aphrodite. The solutions of which, respectively are seek out a myth/fire to stun, find a healer/spammer, and also find a healer/spammer. That has kept me from getting a fourth account. lol.
How about KI allows the seventh character, only if you have completed all main quests on the other six characters. I really want to experience death pvp, because people say it can be struggling. - lvl 68 balance Aaron sandflame
I really love the idea of being able to have the seventh character because i really want a wizard and i would even buy a lot of crowns to get the 7th character, but i will never buy a second account just to be able to play a wiz.
