How many accounts do you have?
MStarfire
One. Any more is kinda pathetic, dontcha think?
fenix
Not pathetic, just a big waste of money. Unless you're a high end GvGer and want multiple accounts for smurfing etc.
Cirian
Just the one account. I've got all the collector editions etc added to it and space for 10 characters, which is everything I want really.
The dual accounting sounds interesting... I used to do that in DAoC because buffbots were so prevalent and ironically my sylvan druid "buffbot" on the second account became my main character after Trials of Atlantis went live because ToA made it possible to have a playable healing druid while still maxing out the boring but necessary buffs! xD
In DAoC anyway, there were no account wide things to worry about (each character could be in a different guild etc) so I didn't have much to worry about with multiple accounts... I just had to make sure I never needed to pair two characters from the same account and I was ok. In Guild Wars though, an account is much more significant... lots of things are shared across the account by all my characters so things are a bit different. I'm glad I have everything on the one account.
Still, a second account would be handy for pre-searing (raise 2 LDoA's at once...) and for replacing henchmen forever, but I have no intention of doing it.

Damn thread Necromancy...got excited seeing posts from forum members that I haven't seen in months/years...until I noticed the post dates. Damn.
Two accounts, one for play and one for storage. Curse Gaile for stating that adding slots would never be implemented....

And the others were from people who stopped playing.

2 Accounts for me, 1 is full and is also my main, 2nd one is prophecies only I keep it as storage mainly but I also have an Ele with all ele skills and equipment.

I only have one and it wouldnt make much sense to buy a 2nd one after 3 years unless I find a super-cheap offer somewhere for 10€ or less for one game.
Phaedra Firesoul
i have 2 because i bought the second before you could buy more character slots.

Multiple accounts make a lot sense:
1. Only way to be in multiple guilds
2. Xunlai storage for each account plus the storage on each character. You can never have enough storage.
3. Cheaper than buying additional character slots, especially with the compilation packs
4. Want perma-Pre characters then just get a second Prophecies edition (you can open your own gate with dual setup)
5. If you have two computers, set up some characters so that friends can play along with you when visiting, if they don't have GW
6. Very cheap entertainment compared to other games that charge for the game and then $15 per month. At that rate you can buy four Trilogy/Compilation accounts and have 32 characters!
Seems to me as long as you aren't trying to use multiple accounts to defraud someone, ArenaNet/NCSoft would be more than happy to sell you more accounts. If they were really smart they'd lower the price of additional character slots to be more competitive with the street price of the games and add a bit more Xunlai storage for each 4 additional slots you buy, but they make money either way.

just have one account with all the games on it. although my bro has a prophecies-only account he isn't using anymore...hmm.
Phaern Majes
Had two accounts but gave one to my sister, originally bought it (proph only) for the xunlai storage, 2 weeks later the storage expanded to 1 tab per campaign... pwned.

I bought another account so I could farming while playing two accounts on the same time with the GWx2 program.
Have to say that its worked really well. I bought a NF account got a derv to UW, I have been farming with my PermaSin and Derv 130hp. This enables me to Farm chaos plains and smites in the same run.
Also, on the weekends I plant my NF derv in Kamadan to sell my stuff, while I play on the other.
It takes awhile to learn to play 2 accnts at the same time but for me its definately more efficient use of my time
Next thing to do will prob be to buy factions, cause I can make another permasin for easy farming X2 of certain areas. Permasins are the best to play 2 accnts with because there is no spamming of buttons unlike the Derv builds or others. In fact I find myself getting very bored if playing on the 1 accnt now

Wtf? I don't know what's the point of having more than 1 account unless you're a naughty kid and gets banned every now and then.
I have 1 account with plenty of slots.

inchoate
I only have 3. Obtained before the extra character slot option and before Factions.
I use 2 for PvE characters and the 3rd for storage.
Ramma, you may have six accounts, but how many got hacked?
just curious

Oh yeah forgot to mention that soon ill have to go and do Zaishen x2, twice the keys, smae amount of time infact it makes it easier with both lots of Hero's, 1 accnt takes ele, other takes Rngr trapper. 2 keys per day if I can be bothered gettn on each day, which I obviousy dont do.
Lastly, 2 accnts for the Tournaments prediction every month

4 accounts. Due to that I dont have a credit card and dont depend on parents any more, I cant get character slots. Nor do I have friends in this town that wanna lend me theirs. And since I dont live in Germany, UK or that other country (cant remember, anet do something) I cant buy with SMS. SO there are my reasons for having so many accounts.
1 main, all campaigns, 11 slots (bought to me by an old g-leader) - 9 characters.
1 with only nightfall - pvp characters
1 with only prophecies - 4 chars waiting for prezzies
1 with only factions and prophecies - 6 chars waiting for prezzies

I'm happy with one. I'll never find myself wanting more than one of each profession (I've barely got time for 4 ).
).
Nanood
5 Accounts with all campaigns accross them and I play all of them. Usually 3 going at any givin time sometimes all 5 going at once.

3 accounts, 30+ toons. I'll only get one GW2 account.
Pistachio
I have only one account with all the Campaigns and EotN. I've tried to get extra accounts from friends that don't play anymore, but they always "forget" their login information. I just can't bring myself to buy another account, no matter how much I may want it.
Gwmaster
i got 3 accounts...and i use them for zaishen keys heh!
Taisayacho
Just one. and I feel like I have too many chars on my plate.
sheba el
one, too much money -.-
Distance
just 1 - 4 character slots is still takin all my time...
esthetic
For storage, 6 heroway, and Zkeys I have 9 Total Accounts. I got a couple from ppl that no longer play and bought a few from amazon.com when they sold them for 4.99 a copy.
Black Metal
One, which has one of every class except no mesmer and two necros (from back when you couldn't change your secondary for free).
Personally I have a problem with spending money for something that should be provided to me; that is sufficient storage for a reasonable person, and with what HoM is asking of us, that is insufficient (therefore I'm not working on my HoM, at least the armor portion). Of course the extra zaishen prediction rewards mitigate that, though I just haven't done that.
On one hand I miss the Diablo II model of creating as many accounts, mules, and characters as you want. On the other hand I'm not against Anet making a little extra $$ to keep the quarterly updates coming and GW2 in development, considering their no monthly charges.
I'm hoping the April update storage portion helps.

Had 4 at one time. Now down to my main and my cousin's Proph+eotn only acct for keys/storage/shared with him
Ate of DK
With new accounts being so cheap (10-15 euro's!) I might consider buying one for Zaishen Keys!
NOT!
NOT!
Verene
One account, with all campaigns and EOTN and all character slots filled.
Might buy another character slot, but that's it.

around 10. Only have 1 main account. I use to store characters in pre and wait for minipets. Others are storage/minipet waiters.
All were giving to me.
I would use them for Zkeys but I can never save my predictions on the guessing page and I dont know why
(button does not show up)
