Decide to get all three games on one account:

Second game you purchase and put on your account: Six char slots Total, one xunlai storage
Third game you purchase and put on your account: Eight char slots total, one xunlai storage

Decide to get all three games on different accounts:
First game you purchase: Four char slots total, one xunlai storage
Second game you purchase and put on a separate account: Eight char slots Total, Two xunlai storages
Third game you purchase and put on a separate account: Twelve char slots total, three xunlai storages
[/Complicated Math]

So according to A-net
1x3=8-x while 1+1+1=12-x

Some people will pay it, BUT this is NOT a free game, I paid +180 US$ for it! Just add "superior bag upgrade" right NOW! please! (I think the money I already paid is enough, and I WILL pay more, I WILL buy GW:EN and GW2 FOR SURE!)

zling · Mar 30, 2007, 02:36 PM // 14:36

I wouldnt pay real money for ingame things, that's the main reason I started playing Guild Wars instead of World of Warcraft in the first place...
but I do think that Anet needs to give us enough character slots to have 1 of each profession and thus giving back the 2 slots they "stole" in prophecies and havent given back in the expansions...

lucifer_uk · Mar 30, 2007, 02:45 PM // 14:45

I would buy extra storage instead of just buying mules.

Bryant Again · Mar 30, 2007, 02:47 PM // 14:47

For more storage? Yeup. For an in-game item? Hell no.

Jetdoc · Mar 30, 2007, 02:53 PM // 14:53

No, no and no. If you want to "buy" more storage, simply buy another character slot.

Any upgrades like this should be available to all via the game mechanics.

Neo Nugget · Mar 30, 2007, 02:58 PM // 14:58

hmmmm pay...for....storage..... not so much....no.

Pakana · Mar 30, 2007, 03:01 PM // 15:01

No way.

I don't want games take it a general practice to make too small inventories in the beginning, then sell more inventory room. That's a dirty scheme.

I don't trust the online game shop nor Arenanet personal data protection policy, so I won't buy anything from their shop. Before buing anything, I urge you to read the User Agreement and how your personal data is handled and stored.

killercroc · Mar 30, 2007, 04:56 PM // 16:56

Buy the game for stand alone = 4 slots

Buy the game and add the key to yu account = 2 slots

Multiply 2 games to add on to your acount = 4 slots

2 GAMES = 8 slots

8-4 = 4 slots which ANET took from us BEFOREthey introduced the facility of buying extra slots.

This is fact and I am not inventing this.

Just curious.

I'd probably pay 5€ if it doubled all my characters backpack storage. Or just my bank storage. But not more.

No, I wouldn't pay for it.

They (Anet) are already doing this. It's the GOTY upgrade. For $4.99 USD you can buy exclusive in-game items

.

Personally I don't mind the concept of GW store upgrades. As long as they don't make the items "must have" necessary to be competitive. The money goes to the developers which is a good thing. I purchased the GOTY upgrade and am enjoying the use of max dmg weapons in pre

MagicWarrior · Mar 30, 2007, 06:17 PM // 18:17

I would not pay real money for extra storage. Period.

VegJed · Mar 30, 2007, 06:19 PM // 18:19

Hmm...

So that's why I can get bonus items now. GOTY upgrade...

funny thing is, I don't remember ever purchasing it. I guess it came included when I bought Prophecies through the online store. However, if they charged me $5 extra for it, I will be extremely pissed off. Yes, I got Prophecies for $20 cheaper than I expected, but if GW made that purchase decision for me, how am I to know whether or no GW will decide that I need a few character slots at some point, or a PvP unlock kit?

guess I'll find out when my debit card statement comes in.

Edit: Nevermind, just checked the receipt they had emailed me. Guild Wars Prophecies: GotY Edition, $29.99

Sir Skullcrasher · Mar 30, 2007, 07:03 PM // 19:03

I don't want to pay money for something like this. I'm already happy with either buy new character slots or another copy of the game.

RPGmaniac · Mar 30, 2007, 07:19 PM // 19:19

You know, if you have absolutly nothing to do with that money Yawgmoth, you could donate some to the "United Charity to get Kartok More Stuff Foundation" (UCKMSF). For every 10k you donate, we will give you a random item. Could be a superior vigor, could be some weapon from pre... who knows?

In all seriousness, I don't even like the idea of having to buy characters to use as storage. If Anet wants us to have more storage, it would be nice if they could do something WITHOUT charging us. Yeah, they have to eat and I can see that, but I don't like them nickeling and diming us for some cool features (even if they aren't game breaking, must haves). Maybe Anet could have a new weekend: The Double Storage Weekend where every form of storage is doubled! Backpacks that hold 40 slots, belt pouches that hold 10 and bags that hold 20, and... storage that holds... however many is double what it holds now (I don't have that number off the top of my head). Now that would be a weekend.

Personette · Mar 30, 2007, 07:30 PM // 19:30

I think I was the one who brought this up in another thread, the idea of buying storage - it was mostly a rhetorical...proposition...in response to all the people who said that Anet wouldn't add more storage because they need the money coming in from people who buy extra character slots for mules.

I guess I figure: if Anet really wants or needs the money from people who buy mules, wouldn't they streamline the process and just sell storage? Because if they have really decided that mule-makers are a viable source of extra revenue, such that they really won't add more storage for free, the next step would be to cater to them in some way.

And since so far there hasn't been any storage-for-real-cash, some part of the argument falls apart: Anet probably isn't holding back on storage because they like having people need mules. Or, most extra character slots are not purchased to be mules.

I'd probably buy storage. Generally, when $10 will make my life easier consistently over a period of time I figure it's better than going out to a movie and pay the $10.

Captain Arne Is PRO · Mar 30, 2007, 07:41 PM // 19:41

Yes. If I had some means of paying for a rune increasing my toon's backpack size, I'd pay for it.

Only if it had some extra game content.

Buy the next expansion, get a rune of Superior Holding special item, and a new explorable zone(s) somewhere. Have the runes available only from a collector in the new zone.

Then I could fool myself that I was buying the expansion for real money instead of the storage rune.
