I'm happy with 4... I have a Forge Runner (Cash Cow), An IW mesmer (RP/15k/blackdye), And a necromancer (RP/15k), then a free slot which I use for PvP...

The necromancer could easily be deleted for a new character in Factions, I don't mind, Although 1 more slot would help me greatly.

No matter how it ends, it would be nice to have a character slot for each
profession so that we can play each and every profession as primery!
and not settle for having to change secondry profession to play the
profession we want.

I already have 2 accounts like many of you but not alot of people
would be willing to pay twice to play the same game effectively
just for those extra character slots.

Basicaly if theres 6, 8, 10 or 12 professions! it should mean
6, 8, 10 or 12 character slots to go with them, Simple as that!

I think that would be fair, but thats just my humble oppinion!

"EDIT"
By the way, im not moaning, I'll still be here happily playing either way, .

i dont get how people can stand playing 4 or more diff caracters.. or why they need them, i have two acounts and have only 3 completed caracters(monk, necro+ warrior). I like my monk too much

WRONG

1 slot is NOT out of the question yet.

if it were decided that there would be at least 2 slots minimum added they would have announced it to stop the bitching.

it is still undecided if 1,2,but guaranteed not 3 or 4 (unless you install as separate standalone which i may do)

Maiyn · Jan 24, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

Please give us two. I will be extremely disappointed otherwise ... while I understand the cost constraints.. I really hope that they'll give us a bit more flexibility.. I'd have to leave my new slot open for pvp, and then I can't make my new ritualist (which I am really excited for ;_

Oh well... I guess in the end it's never enough.. but i don't think it's unreasonable to hope for 2.

That's just wrong..
I've played this game through several times, yes, it gets repetitive...
But that's alright. It's a price I'm willing to pay for the joy I get.

Also, I have bought two accounts in order to have the joy of all the primaries, and while Factions, if getting one slot is most, I would still buy both accounts.
It would seem to me as though most of the people who have two already will buy it again just for the new primaries.

I would like two or more slots the most though.

Barazur · Jan 25, 2006, 02:59 PM // 14:59

If they dont give us 2 slots, they must AT LEAST allow us to buy character slots as I asked Gaile.

Star Gazer · Jan 25, 2006, 03:29 PM // 15:29

Gaile Gray, on one of her recent visits, did say that 'there will be more than 2, but less than 100'...so atleast we know that there will be atleast 3 slots...I REALLY am hoping for a dedicated PVP slot...I have had to delete 2 chars with 15k armor dyed black because I wanted to create a new char, and for pvp

ummm.................that is if you install it as a standalone account.

the question here is how many slots you get if you merge accounts for chapter one and two.

Star Gazer · Jan 25, 2006, 04:26 PM // 16:26

she did not say either way. please confirm this with a link to a SS or something. The text that I saw, showed her stating nothing of the sort.

check a screenshot of the recent talk after the event.

she states cleatly that the decision for slot number is still completely open . (meaning that the joking 3-100 slots was humorous )

you will get less slots for merging than a stand alone.

What? I've never been able to get more than one instance of Guild Wars to run at a time... I would think you'd need two computers for that!

How did you manage that?

jtjuska · Jan 26, 2006, 11:34 PM // 23:34

Here is my take on this, and feel free to critisize me. I personally would pay to unlock more slots on my current account. When chapter 2 comes out I figured out I need to have 9 slots to have what I want and that is one character of each primary with one slot for PvP. I don't PvP a whole lot but when I do I like to be versatile and right now I can't do that I have 4 lvl 20 PvE characters that I have way too many hours on to delete. I deleted my ele a while back had 15k aero on him and now I am kinda regretting it because I miss him. On the people that say that you never play some of your characters you are dead wrong in my case. I have almost the same amount of time on all my characters and tend to be the flexible one of my guild. I maybe the leader of the guild but when we need to do something I ask what they need instead of what I want to bring.

Also I don't want to go through unlocking all those skills again. I have over 1200 logged hours in 8 months (just checked in-game). ALL but about maybe 200 of those hours are playing hours. I have almost every ele skill unlocked all but restore condition (forgot cap sig) for monk and most of the rest of them unlocked with exception to mesmer. I don't want to loose all those unlocks when I get another account as thats a lot of work. I would prefer being able to purchase slots or merging account ability.

My vote would go for being able to purchase unlocks for more slots. Feel free to tell me I am wrong, but that is where I stand and sorry if it sounds like I am whining.

draco inferno · Jan 27, 2006, 01:44 AM // 01:44

Agreed completely. I would gladly pay for more slots, perhaps even up to $15-20 each. In that case, I would probably only buy two or three, but I would still most definately buy. Honestly, instead of the petition to get one more slot, I think this is the petitions that needs to be started.
Perhaps a fair price would be $10 per slot?

jtjuska · Jan 27, 2006, 02:41 AM // 02:41

Ya, 10 per slot seems fair to me for an additional slot. I just know that I like to be a versitle person and the ability to have a character of each class would help that a lot.

Does not paying for extra slots go against everything that GW is meant to represent ?

Tur713 · Jan 27, 2006, 11:02 AM // 11:02

I'll be able to enjoy a ton of slots if all you people quitting would kindly give me your accounts.

$50 dollars for anything less than a FULL game (4 character slots, new area/content etc) is just not worth it IMO.
For $50 we should get at the very least everything that we paid $50 for GW Prophecies(Chapter 1)

I know they haven't "officially" announced anything yet but it does appear the price has been set, or EB Games and Gamestop seem to have left themselves open for some false advertising lawsuits from Anet and the public.

As it says right from your link:

Quote:

The stand-alone Guild Wars: Factions is the second campaign in ArenaNet's massively multiplayer online role-playing game. The Factions campaign, which can be played either connected with the regular Guild Wars or as its own separate game...

So, you are getting a full game. If you want the 3+ slots, install it separately.

jtjuska · Jan 27, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

I just have one question to the people on the opposite side of things as I am standing then I will leave this very well alone and wait. Why should we need to install Factions seperatly just to get the 4 slots and not allow our characters to cross to the new content? Doing things this way will inherently lead to the same problem I am stuck with now, thats is simply not enough slots to make the characters I want to have but unwilling to get a new account based on the extreme amount of time and work I have already put into this account. I can see how getting a second account would work for some, just not for me. Also I don't plan on leaving GW if they don't give us more slots. I simply won't buy factions. That is the last of my 2 cents.
