Whats the benefit when i add a second key to my account?

Well, you can add the preorder keys to unlock the preorder items. Other then that wait till chapter 2. I'm sure you will have a second key to enter then.

it would be nice to have more than 4 characters...

at the mom i have all 4 through the complete game and it would be nice to have 2 or 4 more

Adding a 2nd key for the game itself will not add more character slots; someone tested that theory at one point, I think by upgrading to the collector's edition. Shows the extra key but you get no benefit.

well, if your stupid enough to add a collector's key to a normal key... but you do get the Special Edition's glow on that account. You won't get any more character slots though...

So unless it's a pre-order key, there is *NO* reason or advantage to adding another game or CE key to an existing account. In fact all you'd be doing is screwing yourself out of 4 character slots. Just create a new account and use the new cd-key there... unless it's a pre-order key, which means you should just add it to 1 of your existing accounts to be able to access the pre-order item.

This should make it really difficult to move stuff from characters of account 1 to characters of account 2 unless you have either a trusted friend (don't come crying to me, people) or two computers.

Not really.
1. You can run two instances of GW on the same computer - there's a thread about it somewhere around here, I'm too lazy to check right now.

2. If you don't have a trusted friend, you have more problems than transferring items between two accounts or two computers.

I have GW running on my desktop and laptop. I also have 2 logins.
I put both side by side and trade between the 2 accounts. Once you get used to this process its not bad at all.

Ah, right, I remember that with the two instances. Regarding the friend, do I trust anybody with my valuables, e.g. hey, can you hold 500K of mine? No.

But hey, that is me ... and nobody in my family has the access codes to my PCs/bank accounts/vaults etc. either.
