I'm seriously considering not connecting Nightfall to my Prophecies and Factions accounts, simply due to storage limitations. With 8 PvE slots now, my storage is overflowing and some characters are basically mules. Adding 3 more guys using the same storage just doesn't seem like it's going to work for me.
I tried searching first- didn't work- has there been discussion about storage- any hints that it may expand? I don't think it's realistic for Anet to encourage linking accounts and not give us any additional storage. Basically, you give up a storage box for access to new areas for previous characters. I think my new toons may be on their own, which could be fun too, but my warrior really likes travelling and has been looking forward to Elona.
Are others out there thinking about Nightfall as a separate account due to lack of storage? I know, I know, I could let some stuff go, and if we got a dye locker most of my problem would be taken care of!
Are you connecting Nightfall to your other accounts?

yes, theres a discussion about storage on this forum. basically, its a wait and see situation. I'm personally going to add nightfall to my existing account 'cause i don't hoard loot, but thats just me.

I couldn't possibly let the opportunity to have heroes in older chapters to pass me by.

Though I could use the extra storage space, I will be merging accounts once Nightfall comes out. I can't imagine unlocking all those skills again for my heroes. 
maedrarle
I'll be merging, just too lazy to log in and out.
EternalTempest
I'm merging.
For the way I play I will have 4 slots that could be pvp ... or extra storage. I only have time to juggle 4 chracters and get them to what I consider "done" 100% skill primary job unlock, all the map points, etc.
For me, these are storage characters with the 3 news slots (pre-release + nf merge).

I am merging as well, but I know how you feel about storage. I just recently went threw my storage and tossed out thing’s I simply didn’t use anymore to make room for nightfall.
Grubcat
Ah, good point- I totally spaced on the unlocked skills aspect and I think that outweighs the lack of storage by far. Once I find out what I need for Nightfall, I'll just sell some stacks of materials, and pack lighter for the trip to Elona.

There are so many advantages to merging, I think you'd be insane not to.
I think the better question for you is whether to sell some stuff out of storage, or drop an extra ten bucks for another mule.

I'm merging, definitely. All I really needed was 2 more character slots, my inventory is fine.
DeathByAmor
I am merging them. As far as storage space is concerned I should have plenty of space as I have 3 mules now as well as 1 PvE of each class and 1 PvP slot. My mules are nearly full, but once Nightfall is released I am sure I will free up those mules.
Saphrium
I will merge, storage is not really a big issue for me, I use the characters bags for storage anyway.
Sir Skullcrasher
I'll merge them and what is the point of keeping any items from Tyria and Cantha when the new stuffs from Nightfall will attract alot of buyers. Not to mention, i have two characters running as mule for me!

I'll be linking Nightfall with my account. Right now, I've got storage issues, since I'm hanging on to weapons & stuff to equip my heros, but after release, I'll have a ton of free space.

Merging ftw. Can't lock my existing chars out of all the new goodies
Knightsaber Sith
I'll be merging. If anyone is having that big of a storage problem; you need to cut down on the alternate armor/weapon sets.

Merging, got to be a world traveler...
BellyFlop
yep same with me merger but i wish they done something about the storage cos its getting out of hand

but still will merge...

How would a dye locker improve your storage? You DO know that dyes stack right? Unless you are (for some strange reason) pre-mixing all your dyes and then storing them. That would be odd.
lord_shar
Why wouldn't I want my existing characters to have access to Nightfall's new contents? Besides, character slots are cheap, while quality content isn't...
LifeInfusion
I'm too poor to not merge. I spent all my money on Factions skills..
anyway, merging gives your heroes all your unlocked skills...so you'd be insane not to merge.

Lady Lozza
I agree with LifeInfusion, with the heroes have access to all unlocked skills, you WOULD be crazy not to merge.
vinegrower
oh, also forgot that you will be able to bring your Hench back to Tyria and Cantha if you so choose. That is another huge benefit to merging for me.
NeHoMaR
IMO the inventory of a pve character is enough for her/himself. Anyway, I think the storage is VERY small, specially if you collect items or something; and also new chapters add MORE items 
About merge Nightfall with my Prophecies/Factions: OBVIOUSLY!!! it's the 1st reason I'm buying the game.

if you did have seprate accounts you'd still need someone you'd trust to pass gold or weapons to. imagine an ax your passing koss through your "buddy? disapearing.

Merging, of course.
...My approach to storage has always been to keep everything I positively need on the character it belongs to; Bag #2 is permanently blacked out so I don't merch anything in it.
(and sometimes even Bag #1. Really, it's only in extended trips that you accumulate enough crap to overflow before you can get to a merchant... And even then it's not a problem if you salvage or just plain drop all your whites)
I also tend to flog off greens and golds quite quickly and for below market value. I'm what you might call profligate, rather than a hoarder.

Yup. Too many reasons to merge, not enough reasons not to merge.

Not merging, for PvP'ers, is REALLY REALLY STUPID.
Selerious
Im merging, always fun to use old characters in new lands.
Thallandor
Due to the mechanics of Heros being able to gain acess to your total unlocked skills, it would be advantagous if you were to link them to your current account.
Heros will also be able to travel to both Tyria and Cantha if you link all three accounts.
Both reasons makes linking possibly the best option there is.

Mister_Smiley
I will be merging as well. It will give me 12 character slots, but thats no biggy, cause 3 will be open anyways. But since i don't have alot of items i don't really need about them. But taken the advantage of the hero's with a mergged account is way worth anything.
Kais Unduli
I'll be merging both of my accounts. Doesn't seem like a good idea to not merge, considering the time I've put into both of my accounts to get them where they are, only to have them flounder in Tyria/Cantha. Hell, I don't even visit Tyria anymore, although it will be fun to play some of the missions with heroes.
Ole Man Bourbon
Separate accounts sucks, the only advantage being the ability to be a member of American and Europe for access to FoW/UW, IMO.
Warpy
I was going to have a seperate account, but now Im going to merge.
