if you think i am going through all those interviews/posts/chats you are...........

however there is a recent post in the dev thread where Alex Weekes mentions the empty slots will be available when technical problems are worked out.

compare a single empty slot they are having problems with to a full loaded account and make your own conclusions as to the other

EDIT

and here is what he said

7/04 Alex Weekes: Buying character slots?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't tell you when the purchasable character slots will become available, however they are still being worked on and will be made available as soon as the required technology to provide them is ready.[/QUOTE]

again note that is for adding an empty slot not trying to merge a full account

Zenmaster · Jul 21, 2006, 04:38 AM // 04:38

Every new thing they add in, they got to make sure everythings is working good especially if it involve payments & account. They got to test with bug & security measurement.
If u think that anet cant make the account merge, u r really underestimate thier programmer.

Moreover it is rude to simply quote wat anet said by not providing any link or prove.
DON'T quote next time if u cant provide any prove.

Also it is very rude to jump in ppl thread & say 'case is closed due to blah blah so drop it please.'
U dont want ppl to jump in ur thread & say close thread right?

Ppl are trying to gather support here to let anet start to consider an account merge to be in thier 'TO DO LIST' & u just add 1 point to thier 'Not To Do' list. Thankyou very much

I see you are getting ready for Nightfall by adding a scroll feature to the login. Also, it is said you will allow us to buy extra slots for 9.99 each in the near future. How about creating a feature that allows us to merge our extra accounts? Many of us have extra accounts because we needed more characters for mules and whatever. How about letting us merge those into one?

By the way, if I can buy an extra slot now, then how do I do it?

as i answered there it is a flat *they are unable to reconsile 2 existing accoints for mergeing them* so it is CAN not rather than WILL not

we dont even know where your getting that info. you're the only one so far that seems to have seen it. and, you wont show us the proof. So, dont get mad when i say it's hard to believe you mate.

Anyway.. I really dont think this is impossible for them to do. If they wanted to they could, the question is if they want to or not. There were all sorts of posts about how hard and near impossible adding slots would be, but now there here. I think they made it happen, cause they saw the value in it. They will make a bundle off of this, and even more if they forget this whole deal about merging accounts. You see, if they dont do anything with merging accounts they will probably end up selling more character slots to those of us that would like our accounts merged. Ever wonder why there's not much comment on this topic? That's probably your reason.

Beggers can't be choosers... so i'll take what i can get. But, this would be a nice thing for them to do.

We cannot merge accounts. Very sorry, but it's not a function that we are able to provide.

If you have more than one preorder account and have not activated it, you can certainly add the unactivated key to your existing account and you'll acquire both preorder items. But please keep in mind: We only recently decided to allow more than one key, and certainly we never offered, nor planned to offer, account merges where someone could have several accounts and rely on support to make them a single account. Again, I'm very sorry, but we simply cannot furnish this service.

ya, wow... that was over a year ago. But true indeed. I vaguely remember it now.

I still think they have the ability to do it... but o-well. Not my place to be saying what's can or cant be done.

so, we know from that post that merging is out of the question. so, lets call is something else... Exchanging

Ok, all i really would like is my 4 character slots on my #2 account moved to my #1 account. (screw the items, characters, lvl's & unlocks)

Now answer me this... if they can add character slots to an existing account do you think its possible per say to exchange a full account (ie. my account #2) for 4 empty character slots that i can add to my existing account?

Is this possible? I think we all know the answer is yes. but... will they help those of us who would like this option?

Really though... this wouln't be too hard.

-log into the account you want to exchange.
-Click the edit account
-Click the "i want to exchange this account for 4 new character slots" button
-Click payment method (if payment is needed)
-Fill in payment info (if payment is needed)
-Click the "yes, i am sure" button
-Print recept of transaction, and check e-mail for new keys
-Add new keys to your existing account

volla! you've just made a whole bunch of people happy.

Zenmaster · Jul 27, 2006, 05:18 AM // 05:18

It could be possible.
Also those they decide 'not' many months ago could be 'review'!

Do we have a list of things that will be offered in the store? No, not yet. I think that the team is still reviewing ideas and options -- we'll have more news on that in the near future.

Will you accept ideas from the community about items to offer in the store? Yes, definitely. In fact, I'll start a thread about that very subject. But I hope we can avoid the editorial, the "gloom 'n' doom," "the sky is falling," "here comes the monthly fee" speculation. :P The thread should not be used as a way to moan about your new choices or to try to start rumours about the future, or drive speculation into some sort of warped view of the coming campaigns. It should be about what you would like to see offered in the future. With that said, I'm up for gathering your ideas and sharing them with the team.

Terra Xin · Jul 27, 2006, 05:48 AM // 05:48

well this really seems like alot of work. They aren't going to bother having to do this manually, so it would require some sort of way-out program to be able to handle such transferes with no errors.

I hope someone had mentioned that, because its 5 pages in this thread... and im lazy^^.

Zakarr · Jul 27, 2006, 07:06 AM // 07:06

If they can't merge accounts, they could create a clone copy from another account characters to the first account and then delete the another account. However, your another account's storage should be empty before doing such things.

ShadowStorm · Jul 27, 2006, 09:23 AM // 09:23

In response to the OP:

Suggest your idea HERE. It might actually become an option.

Merging is necessary : no-one will pay for subsequent chapters on two (or more) accounts !

MarcinJ13 · Aug 20, 2006, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Using two copies of GW was necessity for me. I've been using one for PvE, the other for PvP. And there simply was not enough character slots.

Now there is an option to buy extra character slots, and I would really like to have all my stuff in one account. I would like to keep my PvE characters, and add my PvP characters to the same account.

Actually PvP characters are not that important as I can always recreate them. Problem is with transfering my Fame/Rank and my unlocks.

I wouldn't mind loosing the PvP acount. I would be willing to pay reasonable price to actualy do so, as long as my account based titles would be transfered to my PvE account.

/signed.

Transfering 1 character : This is something I'd like. I don't think there are any possible 'game' reasons to deny this. Simply don't transfer fame and other 'account' related statistics. Don't transfer unlocks except the skills unlocked on the specific character.

Totally merging 2 accounts (deletion of 1 at the end.) Now this should be easy to do.

I'm willing to pay for this service.

I don't care if other players think it's a bad idea because they don't want it, they are not being forced to do the same are they.

Shadowfrost · Aug 24, 2006, 11:29 AM // 11:29

I don't have a second account, and I probably never will now that the character slot buying system is coming out. However, I can see exactly how frustrating having a second account would be.

Oh, and OP? Good luck in getting Anet to do this

Knightsaber Sith · Aug 24, 2006, 11:37 AM // 11:37

I'm pretty sure Anet has already commented that they will never allow account merges several times
