Wow, the majority have two.

I have two - both with all chapters + EotN and both with CEs of Factions and Nightfall.

25 characters, IIRC.

One full account with all campaigns UAX and the BMP, one mule account and one account I used purely to trade in American districts before we could jump wherever we pleased. The last is pretty much redundant now, but as its Prophecies only I jump on it sometimes for a bit of nostalgia

You're welcome. Only mods and elite guru's can make polls.

1 account full. 10 char slots. bought one char slot got the other half price through preordering nightfall back then.


I would be curious to know how many people bought extra accounts and who has friends that quit playing and gave them there accounts.


Extra accounts = extra GW gold pretty much. Monthly predictions(Z-Keys), mules for storage, Birthday mini's stuff like that for people wondering why have an extra account. Not to mention using GWx2 for farming by yourself using 2 accounts on one computer.

Yeah its a bonus, i do all but the last bit.

I have myself one full account, with all the campaigns bmp and 3 extra slots for 1 pve of every prof and a pvp reroll slot.

Then i have two basic prophecies accounts i got off my friends who played it before they both became WoW players. Both have had their 3rd years so some nice cash there, and prediction points is nice =)

I have one account with all the chapters, and another account with just Prophecies and Factions. Then I still have my beta accounts for Factions, and Nightfall preview events but of course their useless right now.

2 accounts, both with all CEs available and EotN and BMP. Bought a few character slots too.

I have a Necro, Ranger, Mesmer, Ele, and Assassin on one, and a Warrior, Monk, Ritualist, Paragon and Dervish on the other.

I have a laptop and a desktop pc at hope so I used them to run my self wherever, and to drag characters through the storylines more quickly.

With the introduction of NF and heroes and PVE only skills tied to character unique title tracks, I think I would rather have one account now. Capping all elites on both accounts was expensive, for one thing.

I have two full accounts.

My main account is the one that I set up when I started playing Guild Wars. It has too many characters because I still like to try out different professions. This account has my main characters and they get played a lot.

The second account was set up by someone who lost interest in the game. This account has one main character that I play when I want to run characters from the other account somewhere. It has several characters used for storage and two that will live in pre-Searing forever I think.

I like having the second account. It comes in awfully handy for a lot of things.

I only have one, and that is all anyone should need.

EDIT: Yes, I was playing long before extra accnt slots were available ('05), however the idea of buying a whole new accnt simply to try out diff classes did not suit me. I picked through the classes I did not like, and used those open spaces to try other classes. Just fyi, more than half of the core classes were/are bland to me.

2 full accts, 12 char slots on each acct.

Newer players may not know that before Factions came out and they opened the in-game store where you could buy additinal char slots, the only way to play all 6 Proph profs without deleting a char to free up a slot was to buy a 2nd acct.

1 big account. At the point in time where a second account was the only real way to get more characters, I wasn't in the financial position to shell out for one. Then came character slots. Now I am happy. And unlocked to hell, haha.
