I am new to this community, so this may have been addressed months ago.

Will each account have multiple pilots (characters)? In most mmo you have slots for a number of different characters to try out different class, races, and factions. From what little I have read there does not seem to be any typical classes. In fact it seems to all be determined by the mech you pilot. Also in the battletech universe its all humans. That leaves us with factions. Can I make one character to be a merc, another to join house steiner, and later make another to join the clans?

Thanks for the help.

It's Free-to-Play. Just create a new account for additional pilots.

That will also help inflate PGI's player numbers, which will look good (on paper) if they ever decide to go public with the company.

1 character...YOU... there are no "character classes or what ever"... there is 1 character class, it´s called: mech pilot...
read the devblogs please, many infos there on how this game will work

You will only have your one pilot, but that pilot can have multiple mechs. So, if you view each mech as a character, then yes - you can have multiple characters. If you strictly mean how many pilots can you have, then the answer is one per account.

Thanks for the response Tvae.

I have been reading many of the blogs and forums, but just getting to this recently means after several hours of reading I have barely scratched the surface.

Let me follow up with this. Have the developers stated how they are handling the possibility of faction changes since you are only given one pilot per account?

Not as such, but given what they've hinted at in terms of the rewards of loyalty, it sounds as though turning your coat and deserting a faction has serious costs.

multiple characters? um no. this isnt a MMORPG. where you can be some wizard, or a guard or something. you have many mechs if thats what youre getting at, as far as multiple profiles go, you should read some dev blogs to get an understanding of it
