Updates have started for the PvP weekend and the first one many of us will notice is on the character select screne. Aside from the new ability to re-organize your toons, you can see four arrows--two on each side--shadowed behind the character select window. I take this as a VERy good sign that we'll be getting an extra slot for the PvP weekend, but lets carry that speculation a little further. If they cna give us 7 slotsw for one weekend event, why can't they give us 7 or 8 for Nightfall when we upgrade?
I think they will; I hope they will, and i'm very happy that it looks like we're getting another slot for the PvP weekend (i logged on to delet my mesmer back into a PvP toon).
Discuss?
New 7-8 Character slots: the proof is in the updates

I think they WILL give us 2 slots for Nightfall when it does come out, just like they did for Factions. I doubt they are going to give a slot for the preview event however. They didn't for Factions. I think the character slots are going to be available to purchase soon. It has been long enough.

I highly doubt they will "give" you a slot. There is no reason for them not to do the extra slots like they did for other PvP weekend Beta's.
However
I do believe you will be able to purchase an extra slot soon.
Also if you own nightfall and merge accounts you will have 2 extra slots as they did for factions.

They didn't give us any slots for the Factions PvP preview, and I highly doubt we'll get one for this preview.
I think it is, however, and indication that they are close to implementing purchasable character slots.
And I would also expect that a merged account with Nightfall will grant 2 more character slots, just as Factions did, and I believe that they will maintain that precedent for all future expan- excuse me, stand-alone chapters.

Helll is for Heroes
they will give us 2 more slots for nighfall. that is pretty much guaranteed(imo) if we were to follow on from the trend set by Factions..
Solar_Takfar
That doesn't necessarily mean they are giving a slot for the weekend; they plan to start selling slots, so I figure that's what the new feature is for.
As for slots for combining with Nightfall, verything indicates we'll get 2 more, as with the factions+proph deal.

Well their is also the idea that they can grant use two extra slots for the PVP, but once its up those slots are locked and you can no longer use those characters till you get the game, or the have the PVE event like they did with Factions. But i think its most likey that they are telling us that we can get the buyable slots soon, most likey this week, before the PVP event. Only time will tell. Also notice no update on website about what the patch had in it.

Check the site again, it's been updated.

Gaile said that there will be no slot for the upcoming event. However, I would say it is highly likely we will get two more slots of Nightfall. Even so, very soon we will be able to purchase new character slots for $10, so says Gaile. So soon in fact, that they're bug testing it today (while Gaile was online). 
Good news all around...

Well, s---. I wasn't keeping up on gaile with that one. Guess this means I have to start looking for a new game soon. I got into Guild Wars to keep my credit card OUT of gaming companies hands. After a year of freedom, I'm not going back. GG Anet.
golem bigstick
um, what??? no one said you have to buy new slots.... so you dont need to give anyone your credit card number.
Spura
Nobody is forcing you to buy character slots. I have 2 slots for pve characters. I coudl have 5 pve and 1 pvp and it is quite enough.
Every damn time they add something or change something it's the same.

Have they said that you will not be able to get slots from a store? Like buying a 30 or 60 day game card for WoW or xbox live.
Mister_Smiley
no i think it will most likey be able to be bought from their store.

What happened to your other 4/6 character slots. Did they just disappear or do you refuse to play them?
Please explain.

Although Gaile did say there wouldn't be any extra slots "for the weekend event", that doesn't mean A-Net couldn't choose to release the purchaseable character slots at the same time as the weekend event...
We can hope, can't we?

Cheers to all, more character slots for the win! XD

I am just waiting for the news release that says "If you buy nightfall you will get 4 character slots, If you merge nightfall with another account you will get no extra slots but are free to purchase as many slots as you want at the BARGAIN price of $9.99 each!"
Hope that isn't the way it turns out but i got this gut feeling that we aren't gonna get any slots at all with nightfall if we merge accounts.
I doubt that we will get any slots for this weekend but we can hope! I also think we may get an extra slot for this weekend that will be locked after the event and the purchasable slots will be available after the preview weekend is over.

and why are you so paranoid about giving them your CC number?
here's a smart thing. do what i do. open a checking account under your main account, make it so it will decline if there isn't any money in the account, explain to the bank you're using that account only for online purchases.
then, anytime you need to buy something online. transfer the necessary funds and purchase.
quit being paranoid. do you really think a company like ANet is going to try to screw you out of some money? i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say they 'might' what do you do then? you contest it with your bank.
back on topic, I noticed the arrows today after downloading some 300 files durring the update process, and I am looking forward to Supporting the company that makes this great game by purchasing the OPTIONAL additional character slots.

I severely doubt there will be any additional character slots when Nightfall is merged with former chapters. Think about it.
Without a merge, you have 6 slots that can access 2/3 of the game. You have 6*2/3=4 points of fun, or 1 point of fun per 25$.
If you choose to merge, you will have 6 slots that access all of the game, netting you 6 points of fun! You still pay 25$ per fun. Now just buy another additional character slot for 10$. You have 7 points of fun for about 23$ per point of fun - and the good news keep on coming! If you buy 15 additional character slots, you get 21 points of fun and only pay about 14$ per point! The more character slots you buy the cheaper your fun becomes.
Good god, that's a great deal!

This is meant as "fun" do not take the post seriously:
I wonder what the math will be this time around?
4+4+4=8x150%

heheAlso, same fuzzy maths as Factions. Pay for 4, use 2 - since only your core classes will get new stuff anyway. As I predicted, you've basically paid for a full extra game's worth of slots, only to be offered the ability to buy some back. I really hope Nightfall comes somewhere near Prophecies quality. All this carrot and stick stuff is starting to put more people off the series.
