you want to know my real opinion , if this was a " true " RPG game , 1 slot in first chapter and if you merge you get zero .

you role play that char or you dont play .

If this was a "true" RPG, everytime you died, you'd have to make up a new character.

Thank Anet this is not a "true" RPG...

Keeping on topic.

It's too bad D&D didn't do that with their online game... sounds fun! /sarcasm

Actually, can you imagine the props for a Level 20 in a game where you did have to re-roll a level 1 character when your old one died?!?

I'm debating right now in my mind. I probably will, but I was thinking of not for a few reasons. I figure firstly that I don't really do the missions with my level 20s now in Prophecies so the chances of me doing any other missions with my current characters in Factions would probably be unlikely. Second, I would like to get the two new characters plus recreate my first character ever, but then I figure I might not like either Assassin or Ritualist so perhaps I'll end up having a slot for it anyways. Thirdly, I think having a second account would be beneficiary for being able to branch these two guilds that I'm in/associated with, but then there's the whole alliance thing and guesting isn't that bad. Fourthly I don't know if I want to re-do everything and I would like to be able to pull out my stronger characters in newer areas to explore first.

I'm leaning towards merging, but meh, it's still a months away.

Thank you! That's what I was looking for.

To summarize your points:

If you're not bringing in your level 20s from Prophecy, why bother?

Re-make old characters (I identify with this, actually - I'm thinking about remaking my Mesmer and Warrior in Cantha skins)

/merge

Grimm · Mar 31, 2006, 10:56 PM // 22:56

I will be cheerfully and without a second thought merging.

IMO, only an idiot would not.

Killmur · Mar 31, 2006, 11:02 PM // 23:02

Once I merge I may remake my Ele as a Factions E/Mo. I already will be making my old main character into a A/R. If I do so then I will have 2 Core and 4 Faction slots. I wouldn't mind remaking my Ele in Factions. It would be both for new looks and the fact that she has 299+ Deaths. I uh made the mistake of getting her to L20 as a E/N... Also I wouldn't mind experiencing Factions from scratch with my Ele.

If you want to be competitive in PVP, you pretty much HAVE to merge.

ah.. but the question is.. would you rather have one large pizza or two medium pizzas ?

EDIT: I probably am going to merge. I haven't committed to anything yet, except since I am a Guild Leader the experience of the PWE wasn't so bad that I wouldn't get it (got the pre-order). So that's a definite on getting it (unless something changes my mind between now and then), and maybe (probably) on merging my two accounts.

you role play that char or you dont play .

or you would have one character Jim to play when Bob is hosting,
another player Jane to play when Barbara is hosting,
a character John to play in when Bob is hosting while Jim is out doing mundane things in the background,
and Jenna to play while Barbara is hosting and Jane is in the background doing mundane things..

We have all roleplayed differently over the past 20-30 years I imagine...

neoteo · Apr 01, 2006, 06:43 AM // 06:43

there is a good reason for not merging some where

if you want to be in 2 guilds

and start 3 or 4 RPG chars no matter where ...

i agree with all the reasons for merging and not merging , i dont agree with the slot complaining.

give them half a slot!!! only level 10 for you!!!

ok guys...maybe you are forgetting...you don't get just 2 characters for Factions...you bring your other 4 friends there also

as Gaile has said before...
8 * 50% < 6 * 100%

and if this logic continues...

12 * 33% < 8 * 100%
16 * 25% < 10 * 100%
etc

Corinthian · Apr 01, 2006, 07:00 AM // 07:00

You can't have everything. I have a PVP slot, a warrior, ranger and a monk. I do not have an ele, necromancer or mesmer. I also want a ritualist and an assassin. That would be 5 more slots! However, I'll be merging, and let other people be the assassin, mesmer, necro or ele. Possible reason not to merge is to have every class primary playable in PvE. So far that's the only reason I can come up with.

anonymous · Apr 01, 2006, 07:00 AM // 07:00

I'm merging because missing alot of skills from ch1 and unlocking everything again plus being limited to one chapter is not worth 2 slots imo.

burtonk · Apr 01, 2006, 12:43 PM // 12:43

I am not going to merge, I am treating this second chapter as a new game and will start from square one with everything. I have played the first chapter for a year and have enjoyed it, so I think I will do the same with chapter two.

I think this is the first post that is actually ON topic.

DFrost · Apr 02, 2006, 02:39 AM // 02:39

I'll definitely merge since I want my current characters to access all areas, both in Tyria and in Cantha. Consequently getting only two more slots isn't really a problem for me, since I have no plans to make both an A and a Ri. Neither of the new classes seem as interesting to me as the ones in Prophecies. I actually might end up making a necro and saving the last spot for a PvP character.
