Emmber made a post like this on the realm forums a while back so I'm snatching for crossposting.
So at BlizzCon, Ghostcrawler blabbed about the possibility of keeping the character limit (50 characters per account) but allowing you to have your characters wherever you'd like.
If I had more character slots, I would make ALL THE THINGS.
ALL OF THEM
Like half of a dwarven mortar team (with the guild tag <Mortar Combat>), a sniper, a troll of some flavor or another, many more night elves, maybe a blood elf and and and...
All the things. x_x
What would you make?
About a billion more Alliance characters, probably, and alts that I will never ever level. I have seriously so many characters in my head it's almost embarrassing haha, and it's always agonizing trying to pick which ones I actually want to have and play in-game (especially when I bring race/faction transfers into play and decide which character needs which achieves/mounts/etc. that I might already have).
I still have a bunch of toons on Ysera that I wouldn't play every day but still would like to shove back to WrA, too. My high-level druid, priest, etc.

To be honest, I really only have the focus to devote my attention to one or two characters at a time. And since I don't really level that quickly or raid (so no worries about hard-to-get content) I've never even met a server-cap on characters.
Were I to have wayyyy more time and everything else worked out nicely, I would have loved to have made more Tauren in my time. Like a full-on tribe woulda been great.

Oh man, I have so many different characters and ideas I'd want to do. Also, I'd want to make a full set of horde to go with my full set of ally (as in, one of every class on both sides) and things of that nature. I'd go crazy with it, lol
Alliance: Anaeska, Tarveili, Roishard, Nibaela, Gaelifreya
Horde: Arafalia, Zaiviel, Taraia, Akrysta, Ennaye
A league of super villains!
And possibly a league of super heroes to counter balance that. But mostly villains, one-off mooks, and antagonists that could be used for plots and such.

I would make the gob squad and a variant of gnomes to rival them called the short stuff brigade.
...I'd probably have ALL the priests. Healers errywhar and of every flavor. And there would probably be a healthy number of rogues in there, too. Just... fifty character slots filled with disc priests, assassination rogues, resto druids, and one prot paladin and one arcane mage for the lulz.

I currently have two accounts, and am working on transferring five more of my 85's over to Wyrmrest. If I had the full 50 slots available on-realm I would level more priests and paladins.
...What? I only have two 85 holy/shadow priests! That's not nearly enough, the 75ish priest doesn't count.
I only have three lvl85 protection paladins. This is clearly not enough.
I would also explore death knight, warrior and warlock to 85 since I've never managed to stick with the class all the way. I made it to 61 on a lock and warrior, but those were RaF babies so they don't count. I also managed to get a death knight to 61, but then I fell asleep......

♫It's so simple, the way they fall. No cry, no whimper. No sound at all.♪
I would make a Male Druid Night elf and a Worgen who i hope to level.
Other then that not much, most of my slots are for name reserves, And i only need like 5 slots ' v'
player characters:Angrbotha/Raen, drop me a whisper if you would like <3 /bad at making friends.
I would have.... 49 very low level alts and my rogue my only level 85. KINDA LIKE NOW but with more low levels.
I am TERRIBLE at alting. Terrible.

I'd start by compressing my two accounts -- get all 20 of my current characters onto one so I can spend less each month. Probably reroll most of the ones on my second account, of course, as 10x25 is way more than I want to be spending on transfers. Then I would move my first live character, a nelf hunter, over.
After that... I want to roll a few orcs, undead, worgen, and draenei. If MoP turns out to be enjoyable after beta, I will definitely be rolling a troll monk. If panda ladies aren't generic skinny chicks with messed up anatomy, I'll have at least one.
But yea, if they actually gave us all 50 slots on one server, I would just roll alts to try them out, and then not delete unless I really needed to. It'd be a lot more freedom. I spent most of Cata going >8[ because the fun part was the revamped 1-60 questing, yet I never had slots free to take advantage of my BoAs.
...I am a shameless altoholic.
I just like having the option to try out New RP Ideas. I'm out of space (and have been for awhile) but...aside from 'dammit I want a shaman that isn't a goat or stumpy' (and is going to be a panda) I don't have anything planned specifically. I just want the freedom to not have to nuke someone just because I got a bee up my butt about some awesome new character or storyline.
I'm with you, Aren. I race-change my characters 'cause I get new ideas -- 'cause I can't just delete an 85 character, you know. All that hard work...:/
If I had more character slots, I'd probably make two more mages: an actual highborne and a Dalaran wizard. A workaholic gnome engineer who's obsessed with building a robot army. A worgen man I had in the past -- who was just a nasty thug who did drugs.
Nope.avi
I'd probably make a few more Alliance characters on here than I currently have, since I roll mostly Horde on WrA and I'd like to get more of a taste for the RP scene and community in the Alliance.

I'd have a warlock on Alliance-side, definitely. Maybe dual-class Faronne, since she kind of IS a warlock nowadays through RP and mages can't wear Deathbringer. :<
[H] Inathia [A] Faronne
The Phoenix Guard
Three more humans, a draenei, a tauren, two goblins, a blood elf, another orc, a worgen, another dwarf, two gnomes, a Forsaken and a troll.
I may or may not have ideas already for the concepts.
Alliance: Liotuse, Balderon, Galthian, Bolos, Malford, Evelo
Well, firstly I would reroll two characters that I've had to shove off my character list because I didn't really RP them: my middle-aged worgen priest, and my troll rogue. Then I'd probably make some kind of death knight, and of course since it'd be MOP I'd delete my panda-placeholder and actually roll my pandaren mage.
...And then? I would make ALL THE HUNTERS. HNNNGH. I. I don't know why, but I have so many hunter ideas rolling around in my head. It's my favorite class, and I keep getting ideas for race/pet combos (an undead with all zombie pets, for example, and a Darkspear troll with lots of reptiles). Probably at least one of each race. I already have an orc hunter character that I don't play in game, too (I just use him in an MSN RP with my boyfriend that takes place back in time before the Legion came to Draenor, so it'd be pretty cool to RP him older in the present).

Oh yes, many people would reserve a bunch of names, making it too impossible for let anyone to have such a name. So the 50 characters for a server does has it's pro and cons.

I currently have two acounts with 15 characters on Wrymrest *shakes head. Yes, I am an altoholic, however, I currently have zero in the way of Alliance toons on Wrymrest, they are scattered over two different realms. I have four 85s, two hunters - which I have pretty solid storylines as well as one Blood Elf DK that is a member of the family as well. My Tauren DK has a family, however, I have been having problems in getting him out there and RPing him all that much these days.
If Blizzard ever does get off the dime and lets us have all of the characters on one realm, I'd definitely be playing an equal number of Alliance toons on the realm. I miss some of the old contacts that I had when I was still playing Alliance. Come on Blizzard, let's do eet!!
"Your Heart is Free...Learn to follow your dreams and make them your reality."
I can't keep track of more than about four characters and keep them all with distinct personalities and backstories. Rather than more characters, I would like, pretty pretty please Blizz, the ability to log in on more than one at a time (for RP, jeez, not to five-man Black Temple all by myself.) My main and her deranged death knight sister could finally "meet." Or she could awkwardly run into her ex-husband. Everybody I've created seems to be related to one another in some way and AGH I WANT THEM ALL TO HANG OUT.
:D Hey, a gal can dream.

More gnomes. So many more gnomes, like twelve or something. Maybe a Dwarf pally.

I want a sweet-toothed Mage who realises that she can conjure ENDLESS SWEETS and eat them all. A chubby Belf, yes. I WANT.

There's a certain dwarven rogue I'd love to roll if I had more slots. I used my last one to snag a name for my MoP monk. I'd probably make a gnome mage, and I'd definitely want a troll too.
[A] - Huvi, Randaxus, Gallowsford, Freij
[H] - Cambric, Vrixx, Scylla, Handbasket
I haven't used all of my slots, but I do have a lot of unused character ideas.
For instance: A Bronzebeard who fights criminals on the streets of Stormwind by night as... the Batdwarf.
We should all be thankful that I haven't so much as made him an NPC for my stories. :P
I would probably roll Theleste a dual-class. Warrior, hunter, rogue.... it'd be hard to choose.
I already roll all the things, I just delete them when I get bored with them.
Also, this.
theleste / dezrielle / dyndra / vespyr / anikha
Oh man, this. I'd have WAY too much fun with the twins snarking at each other in public. Or ganging up on hapless bystanders.
More slots means I might get around to rolling and keeping an Alliance toon, but I have the same problem Vlasta does. I can only develop and concentrate on a few RP characters at a time, and if I ever get my priest x-ferred, I'll have my hands even more full with him.
I'm already on a quest to make ALL THE DRAENEI! which is bad enough. However, if I had more slots, I'd have ALL THE GOBLINS! on here too.
