Since GW Eye of the North is still not on the market and I've read that there will be no slots added for this expansion I wonder whether we can make a petition that ANet add at least 1 slot.
Currently on my account with 3 chapters I can to make 9 characters. That means I can only make 9 out of the 10 possible different professions (without deleting and making a new character).
I have no credit card and don't see acquiring one in near future, so I can't buy from the online store.
As of now there is no other possibility of acquiring new slots other than the online store (where a credit card is necessary). Other possibilities such as Paypal I believe is not possible at the moment also.
Surely I am not the only one who would love to enjoy having all 10 professions on their account (at the specific time, thus making it possible to work on titles granting me "extra's" for GW). The next expansion GWEN would be a great opportunity for ANet to make it possible for many of us who can't make all 10 different proefessions.
So Please ANet reconsider adding slots for the next expansion.
PS: to Mods if I haven't posted this on the right category kindly move it.
Thanks in advance.
Additional Slot in GWEN PLZ?

BUT - having said that - i am pretty sure most players would agree that it would be superb!
Two thumbs up for bitching about it again!

Umm, why would you want another character slot from an expansion with no character creation? you can only play GW:EN content with characters that have finished one of the chapters

+1 Character slot = one more class to take through <insert chapter> and GW:EN, which keeps people busy some more in between GW:EN and GW2. Which means people will be less likely to switch to another MMO in the time between keeping them to play GW. Which means more profit at GW2's release.

1 more character slot for GWEN = 1 more storage character, or a pre character, etc.
I would quite alike another slot tbh...

You can use debit cards too you know, not just credit cards. I don't own a credit card.
The expansion introduces no new classes, so I don't see any reason to offer more character slots with it. Buying new characters slots is a reasonable way for ANet to fund GW since we don't pay a subscription.

It is possible to get a Paypal MasterCard debit card (costs a short fee when you receive money and only when you receive money) that you can use to access your PayPal balance. You could use that in the online store.

I can certainly see both sides to the arguement here. The expansion slot is a $10 value two of which were included in NF and Factions each. A lot of people might just be like me in the regard that they like to be able to play every different character class if for nothing else to see what skills are ones to look out for on foes and how they work.
Also with NF and the heroes it is nice to be able to put elites in there on any hero, and have a full set of skills to choose from. I don't have a sin for instance, so I tend never to use Zenmai since she lacks any primary elite skills. I know you can get them with whatever your 2ndary is, but I just don't bother very often.
I can also see the point that playing everything all over for the 10th time can get kinda old. And if it's true that no character can gain access unless they've beaten a game that makes the new slot point back to the previous games and not focus on the brand new product they're putting out.
Maybe they could offer a discounted price at the store for one slot to those that have purchased GW:EN.

I really don't want to have an empty slot that would make me feel obliged to create another char to take through. I'll be busy enough as it is, thank you.

A.net are our best friends!
Bosom buddies even!
And we should take care of them like we do with our other friends!
Make sure nothing bad happens to them and that they earn as much money as possible!
Even if it is (or especially if its) at our expense!
But seriously - i have been asking myself the same question on many occasions on both forums and i always fail to come up with a reasonable answer.
I guess it comes from my education. You know - being taught that 4+4 equals 8!

Well, sit back and look at the price they will charge for the expansion "GW:EN". If it's only 10 bux less than a regular chapter, then they better include at least one new character slot if not TWO.
Now take a look at why they said the price for the new expansion is "cheaper" than a regular release. Not standalone, and no new playable classes. This equals a whole lot less work for them.
For 10 bux less (or whatever the price reduction), and half the effort in creating the content, we should be getting at the very least one or two more character slots.
Value for the money, and value for those that support your product.
....as a side note, I've purchased more character slots than some of you have spent on the game itself. It's not about supporting the folks at Anet and NCsoft. It's about value.

They are dealing with 10 classes. And they have to provide content for characters over level 20. Thats armor, weapons, & skills for 10 classes, and missions, quests, and end game content to justify the purchase.
Thats not less work, its just less newbie tutorials.
oh btw upier: 1 doesnt even equal 1.
Yawgmoth
At least one slot is a must! For the matter of pure fairness.
Remeber that:
GW:EN is not a full standalone game but just an expansion, so given that it should be cheaper than a standalone campagin. It won't have new professions, will have less skills, less armors, generally less content than a 50$ standalone gw game.
Also, according to current official info, it won't have any extra slots (they say that because of no new profession, forgetting about that slots are really needed, especially with the crappiest tournament reward system imaginable which basically REQUIRES buying slots for perma-pvp chars)
So those 2 missing slots have to be bought separately = -20$
I will certainly buy GW:EN but i WILL feel cheated if i will have to pay over 30$ for it and it won't include even 1 extra slot.

I'd have to agree with Winterclaw. It makes absolutely no sense why anyone would not want to get a free slot slot with GW:EN.

Ehm?
I'm sorry but here's something i dont get..
Sure it would be great to have another character slot in GW:EN..
But why complain about it if they dont?
I see no point in complaining about the money cost.
"When it cost so much they better give us at least one more slot".
Remember that we are paying so extremely little, compared to several other games etc. WoW, Everquest, LOTR Online, And i think most of us are very happy that we don't pay each month, and that we only have to pay for the game it self. + We have a way better game than all those jerks who pay for etc WoW :P
BTW: Anyone know for sure, if we are going to pay each month for GW 2?
Cause it actually wouldn't surprise me much if we had to. sadly

Why not 10 slots?
Firebaall
Oh....
You mean not working out new skill classes, and dedicating massive developer hours to making them work and mesh with current skill sets, etc.?
Not half the work, but a very good chunk. I'd say oh..... 1/6 right there. Funny how that matches the "discount", compared to a full release.

Imho an expansion should have an extra slot at minimum. What if you didnt buy all three chapters? What if you didnt get extra slots from pre-ordering previously? Yes you can go buy a slot if you wish, but the point is rather, you're buying an expansion.. you should get a slot. 
ForgeWhelp
BUT, Anet has always made it such that you could NOT make one of every class regardless of the number of expansions you bought. Always one short. So why should this be any different?

After having all three chapters atm you cannot have 10 different professions on 1 account without having to resort on buying via the online shop. I have 9 characters because of the NF preorder kit. Credit card or debit card its all the same not every player definitely has the means to buy via onlineshop (age, social economic status etc.)
I certainly wouldn't want ANet to charge us extra if they added a slot in GWEN, simply because other people already bought those extra slots.
But on marketing point of view (as SirJackassIII stated) adding an extra slot might be a way to keep people interested in the game.
GW2 is still far away and gives me time to work on titles that would mean something in GW2 (via Hall of Monuments on GWEN) and I'd love to be able to enjoy all the 10 different professions (now I have to resort on deleting one of my characters).

I understand wanting another slot (because who doesn't like freebies), but expecting it just because you don't have a credit card gives me the chuckles.
Hope and petition all you want, but don't hold your breath.

Just do the simple math:
Full Campagin = 50$
Full campagin without 2 slots = 50$-20$ = worth 30$
expansion = less content than a full campagin
expansion without any slots = can't be worth more than full campagin without slots
so
expansion for over 30$ (expected price is 40$) = wtf, paying more for less
Simple Solution : Add 1 slot, it costs nothing (except for a slight decrease in expected slot sales) and it suddenly becomes fair.

I'd rather have more storage than an other character slot.

Since GW:EN is going to be about $30, you can buy two additional character slots when you purchase it. It'll bring the price up to $50 and you can pretend they came with the game! Yays!
Personette
I've spent the past...four days now? Trying to buy an extra character slot through the Guild Wars Store, using two different credit cards and a debit card (all of which work fine elsewhere) and the store has been malfunctioning on me. And GW support has been really, really unhelpful.
It's a good thing GWEN hasn't come out, extra slot or no, because then I'd really be fuming.

Maybe if they just sold character slot keys in stores? Or more simpler to buy "points" that could be bought in $5 increments or so in stores so you can buy whatever on the online store.

While free slots would be good and all, I don't actually care too much if they are there or not.
However the New Zealand dollar is very high at the moment (making the slots cheaper for me) and the Reserve Bank isn't liking it being this high, so are trying to push it back down. So this means I would really like an official answer (something that ANET puts on guildwars.com for all to see) so I know how many slots I should buy now before the amount I pay for slots goes up again.
