It doesn't say anywhere whether you get 6 slots or 4 for the Factions Platinum edition. Can anyone confirm?

Platinum edition doesn't say it has the bonus mission pack. Can anyone confirm this?

"Will I get extra character slots with the Platinum Edition?

You will receive two additional character slots only if you have not already activated an access key for the original Guild Wars campaign on your existing account. Eye of the North does not provide additional character slots.
"

but that is not Factions Platinum edition and Eye of the north doesn't give slots on its own.

4 slots. I just bought it Saturday and I only have 4 character slots. That said, I have not yet gotten into any EoTN content so maybe when I get there it will unlock 2 more?

Platinum editions are just one chapter plus EotN, right?

If you use it as a new account, you will get the standard 4 slots. If you add it to an existing Prophecies and/or Nightfall account, all you will get is an additional 2 slots on that account.

Make new account = 4 slots
Add to existing account = 2 slots

Can't find a Factions or Nightfall Platinum edition anywhere - do they exist yet? Got a link?

Incidentally, anyone know what this is? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Starter-Pack.../dp/B0015QB3AO

Only £2 - a 3-chapter trial, maybe? Not released until next week.

Oh, right - never heard of that. Must be only in the USA.

[Edit] Yup, not available in the UK. 6 slots for sure, then.

It's on the box itself: "Play three Award Winning Games for 14 days". So a trial.

Hmm, a nominal charge for the trial to stop RMT traders a bit, I guess. I can live with that

The Factions Platinum edition consists of Prophecies and Factions(and the BMP). So you will get 4+2 (total of 6) character slots. The Prophecies Platinum edition however, only contains Prophecies and EoTN, so it only has 4 slots and does not come with the BMP.

@Rhaegor No, you won't "unlock" any more slots by getting into EoTN.

@Snograt Looks like a new/re-release of the Trilogy Trial DVD.

I am asking if anyone has actually *bought* and used the key for Factions Platinum edition. Most of this thread is speculation. We can speculate all day.

I know for *sure* Factions Platinum edition has bonus mission pack because it SAYS SO ON THE BOX.

Read please.

NOT Factions Collector's Edition

that was half of the point of the thread.

sounds like you got regular platinum edition not Factions platinum edition since Factions Platinum edition has no eotn.
