I currently got one, lvl 20 warrior which i beat factions with and a level 18 ranger only starting the 3rd mission in factions. I was wondering how many characters people have. Is one too little to focus on? Will i get bored quick and quit? Do i need variation?

I have too many, 12 to be percise.

I wouldn't recommend that much...

I have 11 characters, 1 of every Profession and 1 for PvP.


All my characters have beat all the campaigns except GWEN so far, it is very nice to be able to play all the professions as it does give a person a better understanding of how the game works.

Many People that I play with only have 1 character and they love it, although I could not do it as I might get to bored with one profession all the time.

I suggest you make a Mesmer and have fun with it, they are, more than likely the most unused Profession in all of GW, but they are, also one of the most annoying in PvP areas such as RA or TA (if you are against a good one)

ye i think mesmers are kinda confusing and challenging, not few novice players ... it would be my last choice, id like to go:

warrior
ranger
paragon
monk
ele
necro
dervish


...
rit
mesmer
sin

^ sadly would be my last choices

I have 14 on my first account and 6 on my second. I bought my second account back when the only way to play all the class options was to have a second account. Then I added Factions to both accounts. Since the creation of character slots you can purchase I have purchased 6 slots on my primary account and added Nightfall to that account.

Primary:
10 Slots to PvE (one per character class)
1 Slot to PvP (only to make skills available through RA)
3 Slots for storage (and with GWEN looks like I will need more for all those junky weapons I dont want and will never use but have to farm my ass off for.)

I have 7 characters, 8 slots total (so 1 free slot).

I have 5 20's, an 18, and a 14.

To me, the only reason to be a primary profession is for the attribute unique to that profession. There are some that are "better" (better to me, anyway) than others, and those are the ones I made.

One thing that keeps me playing is how flexible you can be w/ a build - I can be a fire-slinging minion master one minute, and a master of curses and water magic the next.

All in all, it's a fun time to be had by all!

7 that are real characters (and one mule).

My necro primary, who's beaten all three chapters and GWEN in NM.
My warrior, who's beaten Proph but nothing else.
My ranger, ele, paragon, and monk, who are all level 20 and well along in their respective campaigns.
My mes survivor, who's pretty much brand new.

13 slots.

3 are mules, 1 is a pvp slot (and currently temping as a mule)
The rest are level 20 chars (Derv, Rit, 2 monks, Ele, Nec, war, ranger, mesmer) Used to have a para, couldn't get along with the class. And my sin sits on another account which doesn't see much playtime. One day I'll remake her onto my main account.

I really only find myself playing the monks, ranger, ele, and war these days. So the others tend to be temp mules. Yes, I do have too much stuff <_<. Ele is the title hunter and used in ABs, but I prefer playing the war. Mm, mindless monster bashing

i have one: my fully decked out ranger. must have spent over 600k on this character.

all my others are either pvp chars, or the monk farmer that i keep around to fuel my crazy ranger gear spending.

I win with 24 (and one free slot)......though only 16 I play the others are mules. (no pvp, dont do pvp so why have one?)
5 are prophecy characters that have finished chapters 1, 2 and one is still working on 3.
5 are factions that have finished chapter 2, 2 have finished 1 and 2 have finished 3 (another is very close).
4 are nightfall and have finished none of them yet (2 are close, one refuses to play since she wants survivor level 2 at least and one is only 1 month old).
that leaves me with one presear, and one new canthan both currently level 7.

what can I say, I get bored easy and cant seem to delete anything.....

I believe I have 9 characters. Though I haven't logged into the game in a month or so. Can't be certain. Variation is a good thing if you have the time for it. There is really nothing wrong with focusing on one character either. People without lots of free time do that. Some people do get bored after having done it all after two years+ of playing. It may eventually happen to you.
