Having access to my previously unlocked skills, giving my Nightfall characters access to Tyrian/Canthan only skills and giving my Tyrian/Canthan characters access to Nightfall only skills, my previous characters being able to access Nightfall and play in the new world are reasons that I will merge.

With the pre-order / pre-release package people will have 3 more characters slots. Even if you make a Dervish and Paragon, you will have an extra slot for storage.

those are 4 good reasons

and 5th reason is giving Tyrian/Cantha chars access to Heroes !
(which they can bring with them to previous chapters)

I don't have a good or definite reason not to merge them. I suppose one of them could be the fact that I wouldn't like switching to different accounts, or even having to make a new e-mail address to accompany the account.

I will merge for sure - I use characters that are temporary out of grace for storage, and I will not lock Elona out for my fav characters either.

yea, merging is a no-brainer.

As for storage, ANET say they 'listen' to the requests of its players so lets just make sure we keep asking.

Merging...no doubt about it.

I had a hard enough time with heroes during the preview realizing that I didn't have anything unlocked on my preview-only account. Level 17 monk with healing breeze and orison...yikes! Not to mention I had to split attributes if I wanted a full skill bar. (5/8 works fine...just looks funny to me now)

Anyway, I also have storage issues but each hero needs a weapon and probably some runes so that'll help a lot. Not to mention the material dumps to the trader/armor crafters.

Definitely merging, I usually just dump crap to the players i dont play and make them a temporary mule, then when i switch i just throw the items at the other character...its a slow and tedious process...but it gets me by lol A definite plus on trying to get the storage system improved.

I ll merge them but have you notice if we use them separatly we get 4 slots if we merge we get 2 , isnt that unfair ? I mean i bought the game just as much as the other person who didnt own a previous version did, Shouldnt I get 4 slots aswel instead of 2 ?

^That was discussed when Factions went live to. I think it's perfectly fair. It's not so much that they're cheating people with existing accounts as they are giving a bonus to people making new account. Before you could buy character slots; people complained that they needed more. Now just imagine if instead of getting 4 slots when you make a new account; you only got two. No one would like that at all so they give you a bonus 2 slots if it's the first campaign on your account. We all got 4 slots when we first made our accounts as well so don't despair.

No, it's not unfair. Think of it this way.

You bought Prohphecies, and had 4 slots for 6 professions. Merged with factions, 6 slots for 8 professions. Merged with nightfall, 8 slots for 10 professions. Now, if we got 4+4+4, we'd have 12 slots for 12 professions. If this happened, ANet wouldn't make much money selling character slots. Now, if you get only nightfall, you get 4 slots for 8 professions. What's unfair now, eh?

^ Not to mention that linking accounts gives your new characer's access to two campaigns worth of gold/items/weapons/accumilation in your strong box. Would it be worth it to start from scratch for two additional slots?

I think that you'll regret not connecting them to your accounts later.

I am definitely merging them.

Some of the titles you can earn are global across your account. Champion, Gladiator, Hero, Allegiance, Lucky and Unlucky titles are instantly awarded to new NF characters in a merged account that already has the titles. Also, older characters with individual titles have new territory in which to complete their quest for the "Kind of a Big Deal" title by mapping all of Elona or capping all the elites.

(I only hope that Anet does decide to include DAs for Paragon/Dervish. It would be quite sad not to after doing it for Factions rit/sin. )

I'll be merging, less effort to just ditch some stuff, sell cheap or give to guildies rather than having my best chars locked out with no heroes.

I'll be merging. My PvE guys need the new skills for PvP and of course heroes can go back to the other campaigns so if you ever want to do anything over in Tyria or Cantha, having heroes could be useful.
