Hasn't been a big deal for me, you're only talking about the PvP portion of the game.

I bought another copy to use as mules but i also pass on anything which may need unlocking on my new account which i find with my main.

With my main characters being polished for the 7th, if there's a time when i needed that extra space...it's now.

Here's my setup for my accounts.

1. Ranger
2. Warrior
3. Healing monk
4. PvP slot

5. Protection monk
6. Storage necromancer
7. Storage Mesmer (with droknars armour

)
8. Empty (soon to be storage ele.)

If storage or not wanting to delete your characters is your concern...buy another copy. Life is so much easier.

Its a very personal decission. The only reason for me would be: To use a high level build to rush a chr. from the 2nd account trought the lower and medium maps. For the rest there's not much to gain:
Storage? There are no elite items, once you have the best sword/axe/rod/whatever its done. Just sell whats imperfect and you never have a storage problem.
Professions? Sure, if you want to try every primary profession seriously you need another account. But its more likely that you want to stick to 1 or 2 and switch secondary professions at regular times.
The drawback of buying 2 expansions is also there. But if you can miss the money, why not? Just do what YOU feel is right

Or you could take the risk and buy one from the many ppl in LA selling their extra accounts. Only 90 ecto, or about 100k in game cash for one account.

I have to admit, I was weary that it was a scam when I talked to this guy for like 1 hr trying to negotiate the trade. (about 70k in dyes, and 30k+ in weapons), but he didn't seem like the scamming kind, so I went and trusted him. Paid 100% after I got the confirmation email, and after i traded him my items, he clicked his corresponding confirmation email. And bling! I got a (I think) collectors edition account for GW! Woo Hoo! Its so awesome...

Now I just need to figure out how to make my hands glow.

Heh, did you buy it from the Frog?

Kai Nui · Sep 05, 2005, 11:50 PM // 23:50

Bad idea because you can earn the skills you need from the other classes through faction with your PVP character. Not all the skills are worth getting anyway, so it's not much of a loss. If you have more than one, you'll have to unlock everything 2 times... it's better to unlock what you don't have with faction or by swapping secondary in desert.

just hit /dance or an emote in a town, and your hands should start to glow. If they don't then your account is regular.

Eltargrim · Sep 06, 2005, 01:17 AM // 01:17

...FFS, people! He isn't worried about unlocking everything again! The second account would be strictly PvE. If he wanted to make a PvP-whatever, he could just use his PvP slot on his existing account!

Alias_X · Sep 06, 2005, 01:50 AM // 01:50

The game is made to be beaten with a single account, so I think you should only use one. What is collectors edition account? Whats that supposed to mean/?/

One and Two · Sep 06, 2005, 03:38 AM // 03:38

you get divine aura, which makes you glow when /dancing. and...yeah

NOO! I guess its not collectors then. Must have just been pre-order or something like that. Woo hoo, new useless Ithicas Bow for each of my characters now! But no glowy hands...

Haha, still only a 100k account! But then im broke...

Great, now I'm sad.

Warskull · Sep 06, 2005, 04:30 AM // 04:30

Personally I don't think it would be the best idea. There is the point that Sanji raised about buying two expansions and additionally a lot of people want more character slots. The chances of more character slots appearing in an expansion would be pretty high to me. You are willing to buy another copy of the game for these character slots, I bet a lot of people would be willing to buy an expansion just for more character slots. Arena.net is smart enough to capitalize on this because it would be a major selling point.

Will you enjoy spending the $35 on two more PvE character more than buying another game to play around with until the expansion arrives? You could buy 2 DVDs you really with around $35 too. Personally I think it would be best to at least wait to see what happens with the expansion. Arena.net has heard the cries for more character slots and they have their notebook of "Things that will make the expansion sell like hotcakes."

Just look at all your options and see if you really want this second account before you go for it.

Xue Yi Liang · Sep 06, 2005, 04:50 AM // 04:50

With a second account you can join more than one guild - use your imagination and you can see 15 ways to exploit that to your advantage....
... errr... not that you should ever do that ....
... just a little food for thought ...

One and Two · Sep 06, 2005, 05:01 AM // 05:01

mmmmmmmm...rated challenge, rape. add bots, and ownage overnight.

Have you ever stopped to consider it might not have been his account in the first place? 100k is nothing. No one in their right mind would sell a $50 account for 100k in-game gold when 1M online gold goes for a fraction of that cost, unless they never paid for that account themselves in the first place, and need to get rid of it. Sounds far too suspicious/dangerous if you ask me.

Hmm, IDK, several rationalizations:

1) Sorrows Furnace is comming out, and he may have wanted the extra money for it, or something...idk.

2) 1 million online goes for 90 dollars. Or at least thats what my idiot friends paid for it.

3) An account on ebay goes for 30 dollars.

4) This guy said he had 3 accounts

5) Not only did he have password for the account, he also had the password for the email address.

IDK, seems legit to me. Or at least I hope it is, because I have no money left on my account...just a few fur squares in an empty storage.

Zazoo · Sep 06, 2005, 09:20 AM // 09:20

I have 2 accounts and the way I see it is like this.

My Primary account I unlock everything and keep a space for PvP.

My secondary account is PvE only I dont bother unlocking skills since PvP is not the aim here.
This now allows me to have 1 of each primary class.
(Fin with all but Mesmer, and Monk is half way)
This also allows me to play around with INTERESTING combinations of character classes, that are unusual but could be fun to play.

Ive found that some character class combinations are great fun to play although they are not the most powerful. What they have taught me is how to stay alive. Try keeping a H2H ele alive.

Mr. Matt · Sep 06, 2005, 09:32 AM // 09:32

It's you're money, you decide how much it's worth to you.

I personally wouldn't. I don't think GW really has enough content to warrant two accounts. Don't get me wrong, I like the game a lot, but it's certainly not the most enormous game around. I too find four slots to be a little constricting, but I wouldn't be prepared to shell out an extra £35 just to have enough space for the other two characters I want to build. Although I know people who have multiple accounts for games with a monthly fee which I think have enough character slots with just one account, so it's up to you.

I would suggest that you simply use the money to get drunk, however. Then you won't care about only having four GW characters!

DrSLUGFly · Sep 06, 2005, 10:07 AM // 10:07

If I were you, I'd just wait a while. Within (maybe) 6 to 8 months chapter 2 will be released which (should) include 4 new character slots and possibly 1 or 2 new classes, and extra storage.

However if you can't wait that long... how much is the cash worth to you? I'd blow 50 bucks easy on a Saturday afternoon with my girlfriend... to pick up another copy of guildwars for 50 bucks (or a random game as I sometimes do) is nothing.
