Well now im faced with a dillema, i have 3 pve characters w/mo, r/e n/me there all great and i have 15k/1.5k armor for all of them and good weapons all customized. 2 of there armors are dyed all black and one all silver. i love each one to death so i couldnt possible delete one to make room, the last slot is my "pvp slot", and i switch out my fav. pvp classes regulary.

and ive always wanted to make a E/mo pve and a mo/w, its only like 35 bucks here where i live and i thought the extra character space could be usefull, so is it a good idea?

Sure why not, if you really enjoy the game enough to consider buying another account, it's totally worth it. You also get the benefits of being able to run two guilds at the same time.

With games that charge a monthly fee, I have never understood multiple accounts for the same person. Luckily, Guild Wars does not charge a monthly fee, so you pay only once and play your new characters forever. I currently have two accounts. I love the extra storage for both money and items, and I don't have to delete my old, well-worn characters just to play a new flavor in PvE. I also enjoy the challenge of playing on a new account from scratch. For me, the extra account has been well worth the money.

Don't listen to the jaded people who have played through the game but no longer enjoy it for one reason or another. If YOU like it still, if YOU are still having fun, if YOU think it'd be worth the money, if you indeed HAVE the money, then you should get the second account. I wouldn't go buy a full version, though. Go over to NCSoft's site and buy a CD key. That's a much cheaper option.

I can't login to ncsoft. How much does it cost to get another key?

Gack....$49.99...

If you can get a full CD version for $35, go for it! Much better deal for you.

I'm not telling you to do one thing or the other, but I think you should think this through more thoroughly.

Consider that if you buy another copy of the game, you will have to buy two copies of each expansion. Also it is worth considering that the character slot issue, like anything else in Guild Wars, is not set in stone and can be changed. It'd be a shame to have an account that you are only using two slots on. There is nothing wrong with Heals or Area of Effect Spells, but they are not so fun that they warrant another account.

Wisely said. ANet has not explicitly said that they -won't- expand character slots. Also, to reiterate what Sanji said: Doing so would necessitate buying two expansions, etc. I would wait until chapter 2 comes out next year before making any precipitous decisions...UNLESS you can get a copy of GW on the sale table for <$25.00.

Theres one reason I dont think you should do it: Unlocks.

Unless theres a system that allows you to link accounts, you're going to have to unlock everything over again.

I have 2 accounts. Its worth it to me, I have one character of each primary professio and still have 2 slots left to play around with PvP characters when I want.

$49.95. You're better off buying the whole game.
