Having access to my previously unlocked skills, giving my Nightfall characters access to Tyrian/Canthan only skills and giving my Tyrian/Canthan characters access to Nightfall only skills, my previous characters being able to access Nightfall and play in the new world are reasons that I will merge.

With the pre-order / pre-release package people will have 3 more characters slots. Even if you make a Dervish and Paragon, you will have an extra slot for storage.

are reasons that I will merge.

those are 4 good reasons

and 5th reason is giving Tyrian/Cantha chars access to Heroes !
(which they can bring with them to previous chapters)

for PvP purposes i must merge the accounts with my prophesies and factions account

Terra Xin · Oct 16, 2006, 12:46 AM // 00:46

I don't have a good or definite reason not to merge them. I suppose one of them could be the fact that I wouldn't like switching to different accounts, or even having to make a new e-mail address to accompany the account.

Sephiroth Istari · Oct 16, 2006, 03:43 AM // 03:43

I'll merge accounts

Emik · Oct 16, 2006, 08:45 AM // 08:45

Merging for sure...
Can't wait to take Elona by storm with my necro and upgrading my skill hunter title. 290 elites FTW

Tact · Oct 16, 2006, 09:49 AM // 09:49

Yes, I'm merging NF with my Prophecies/Factions main account.

That is the ONLY reason i need to merge my account ^^ my necromancer is gonna have so much fun with a few extra helpers...

Cherrie · Oct 16, 2006, 10:33 AM // 10:33

I will merge for sure - I use characters that are temporary out of grace for storage, and I will not lock Elona out for my fav characters either.

Malice Black · Oct 16, 2006, 10:34 AM // 10:34

I'll merge just for the use of Heroes in chapter1.

Snowman · Oct 16, 2006, 10:53 AM // 10:53

yea, merging is a no-brainer.

As for storage, ANET say they 'listen' to the requests of its players so lets just make sure we keep asking.

WLlama · Oct 16, 2006, 05:45 PM // 17:45

Merging...no doubt about it.

I had a hard enough time with heroes during the preview realizing that I didn't have anything unlocked on my preview-only account. Level 17 monk with healing breeze and orison...yikes! Not to mention I had to split attributes if I wanted a full skill bar.

(5/8 works fine...just looks funny to me now)

Anyway, I also have storage issues but each hero needs a weapon and probably some runes so that'll help a lot. Not to mention the material dumps to the trader/armor crafters.

LadyNilene · Oct 16, 2006, 06:01 PM // 18:01

Definitely merging, I usually just dump crap to the players i dont play and make them a temporary mule, then when i switch i just throw the items at the other character...its a slow and tedious process...but it gets me by lol A definite plus on trying to get the storage system improved.

Franco · Oct 16, 2006, 06:33 PM // 18:33

I ll merge them but have you notice if we use them separatly we get 4 slots if we merge we get 2 , isnt that unfair ? I mean i bought the game just as much as the other person who didnt own a previous version did, Shouldnt I get 4 slots aswel instead of 2 ?

Knightsaber Sith · Oct 16, 2006, 07:35 PM // 19:35

^That was discussed when Factions went live to. I think it's perfectly fair. It's not so much that they're cheating people with existing accounts as they are giving a bonus to people making new account. Before you could buy character slots; people complained that they needed more. Now just imagine if instead of getting 4 slots when you make a new account; you only got two. No one would like that at all so they give you a bonus 2 slots if it's the first campaign on your account. We all got 4 slots when we first made our accounts as well so don't despair.

No, it's not unfair. Think of it this way.

You bought Prohphecies, and had 4 slots for 6 professions. Merged with factions, 6 slots for 8 professions. Merged with nightfall, 8 slots for 10 professions. Now, if we got 4+4+4, we'd have 12 slots for 12 professions. If this happened, ANet wouldn't make much money selling character slots. Now, if you get only nightfall, you get 4 slots for 8 professions. What's unfair now, eh?

SnipiousMax · Oct 16, 2006, 07:46 PM // 19:46

^ Not to mention that linking accounts gives your new characer's access to two campaigns worth of gold/items/weapons/accumilation in your strong box. Would it be worth it to start from scratch for two additional slots?

teenchi · Oct 16, 2006, 08:03 PM // 20:03

I'll be merging them as well.

llsektorll · Oct 16, 2006, 08:28 PM // 20:28

why are people not merging it?

pigdestroyer · Oct 16, 2006, 08:44 PM // 20:44

I cant think of a single good reason for not merging...
