Limited Multiplayer accounts???

Can anyone explain why I can create no more than 5 characters on our groups multiplayer server? Now that I have five accounts, the "create new character" option is greyed out and can't be accessed anymore. Is there anything that can be done to allow me to be to have more than 5 personal accounts on the same sever? Thanks in advance!

i would have to assume it is to save disc space on servers as they store char info
5000 accounts times 5 chars a fair bit of data
raise the number and you could get problems

The primary reason for the 5-character limit is probably that it would get too confusing. If it was unlimited, players could create 50 characters. That could get quite confusing and more difficult for players to get to know eachother.

Personally I think they should up it to 6 or 7, to help out with the storage character.

besides do you really want to have someone who has a different account for each ship?

I think the Account and Character words are getting mixed up. Gets a little confusing.
