1. Up to 10 (max). If you want to create more, have to delete some of the older char.
2. yes.

hmm, as for my case, when playing beta, sometimes I do experience some lag when the parties using some skills such as blink, roll, and few other (cant remember the name now). But overall still ok as most of the time I notice the orb is green with ping average around 2xxms - 300ms.Only sometime I notice it change to slightly green-yellow sort of color with latency around 700ms.

Hmm, I think that time is more towards skill start late especially when party with others. Harap-harap will be better selepas 15th May (referring to the connection). Changing package soon.

Hate it. Forgot in D2 which Act. Swarm place?
