How many characters can I have and do they expire?

Question

In Diablo II, you could have any number of characters in offline play. On closed Battle.net, characters could expire if you didn't play them.

How does Diablo III limit the number of characters I can have? Is there a maximum number? How do Hardcore and the different Realms factor in? Can characters expire from inactivity?

Answer

You can have 10 characters per server. In addition, they can be any mix of hardcore and non-hardcore characters. I'm assuming 10 was chosen so that you can theoretically have 5 non-hardcore characters and 5 hardcore characters.

It's also very likely that they won't ever expire. Blizzard has never deleted any characters because of inactivity from World of Warcraft accounts, for example, and that game is pretty old by now.
