New Accounts? - Guild Wars Forums

joshyoowuh · Apr 03, 2005, 10:12 PM // 22:12

So, once the game is out, and I pick up a box, can I make multiple accounts with that box? Or is it like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, etc.. and the box includes a CD-Key that is only valid for one account?

Your assumption is correct, the box will come with a CD-Key that will allow you to create one(1) account.

And similar to other RPG's you get 4 characters with that account.

P.S. Just in case you thought you only got one

Okay, cool. Thank you for the information

As of now, yes, there are four characters, but let's hope they will add one or two more per account.

The final number of characters per account has not been determined. At present, alpha and beta test accounts allow four characters and we estimate that the number of characters per account will be about four upon release.

What would be nice is 1 character for each class. That way everyone gets to mix at least 1 of each.

Yes, people have mentioned this before. If they felt that would be too much for release, I think that would've been at least great for beta to try out all the primaries and not have to worry about what to delete. 6 would be great for release, 5 would be good too, but if they stuck with 4 I would still be satisfied. I know what I want to make, I just get tired of deleting current characters to try new characters. Hopefully it won't be a problem with release.

Does anyone know if they will be having 6 characters upon release? I have heard rumors that they are thinking of doing so. [PHP]

So far the official FAQ says only around 4 (as my first post in this thread points out). Rumors are just that... rumors. All we can do is have our fingers crossed and wait until they give us a definate answer (if they haven't already and I just don't know it).

4 is the number upon release, they did this so if you want more than 4 char's you will need to buy another account, also they wouldnt change it so close to release
