Looks like there is a 15 character limit for new characters. Is this intentional? *edit* i should clarify, we are only able to make 15 characters. Not 15 letters in the name, in case this wasn't clear.

I thought it odd when i made my hardcore monk when he appeared above my other 2 hardcore chars (i deleted a previous dead HC char)

Ya, the max is 15. Yeah, the way the character "slots" works is your character is assigned a data slot. It's possible that if you deleted a character that a lower character slot is now available.

Ok just wanted to check on that. Tried to make another HC char to offload some items. I'll have to wait till someone dies.
