Would be nice before the holiday. I'd like to buy one, but not at $9.99.
Thanks for any consideration.
Half Price on Character Slots through ANET Store - would have been nice

Might want to change the thread title. It reads like it's a real offer.

Very misleading thread.

I'd buy one if it was half off

..or post this in Sardelac.

they might as well since you can buy an account, giving 4 slots, for cheaper than additional character slots

This is quite literally a "give me free money" thread.

Misleading title FTL
Like Arduinna said, ideas go in Sardelac, things that actually exist go in Riverside.

Very misleading title. Please close since there's no chance Anet will reduce the cost for an extra slot.

I'll buy 2 slots if they halve the price and I am certain many other players will buy at least 1 extra slot within weeks of the offer.
Five bucks is very affordable. Have you ever heard of those dollar-a-pop iPhone apps that make hundreds of thousands of dollars profit per month? Microtransactions are very tempting and very lucrative.
In my opinion, they'll do 2x more business with 4.99 slots than they do with 9.99 slots, and not just because of the math but because of the limited time the special offer will be available. I'd make it a seasonal offer to help encourage people to purchase.
With support from the community, it's very possible that they'll make the offer available to us, but not if we don't start making some noise about it.

Get as much mileage out of the things you already paid for.
The initiative to buy additional slots died the day that they announced GW2.

2 for 10 bucks character slots would be awesome, but it'l probably never happen. But they might as well considering now you can buy prophecies for 20 bucks essentially giving you 4 slots, but that would require you to dual account. However at 10 bucks a slot, its the same price you'd pay for the extra 2 slots from another campaign. So odd are it won't happen.
You just got tomahawked
Please revise the thread title.

Save your $5.00 or your $9.99 for GW2!!!
Slogan: Save a slot so you can buy one later!!!
In reality, unless you are a new player, why would you want a new slot? Mule? Storage?
I think we all are just waiting for GW2 and as soon as that one come's out, there would be harly anyone in GW1.
Besides, GW1 without new content is kinda smelling funny.

I was actually excited and thought that this was a legit offer. I'm actually letdown.
As an aside, I doubt that ArenaNet would ever lower the price of the slots.

Almost had kittens when I thought it was a real offer.
As for simply buying new accounts for character slots, that is fine and dandy for mules, but to get a character to play, you are likely going to want to be able to do all the campaigns, etc.

Poor thread title choice. I have 3 mules and one of each profession, I really don't need any more slots. I'd rather see them selling extremely discounted rates of individual campaigns in favor of "finishing" accounts and avoiding buying the trilogy. In my mind, the prices of the 3 games individually should add up *exactly* to the price of the trilogy. This benefits older players as much as new players. So if the trilogy is $50, say $10 for Prophecies, $15 for Factions, $25 for Nightfall (or so). Remember when Amazon had Prophecies at $5 a pop? They sold like hotcakes.
This wouldn't take any sales away from the Trilogy version, either. In my mind, the Trilogy version if for new players you're wanting to get into the game or who have been curious about it and can now pick up every campaign in a bundle. Mimicking the price of the trilogy through lowering cost of individual campaigns encourages players missing a campaign to fill their account and not feel ripped off by paying 1/2 of what it costs for the whole game to get 1/3 of the game.
Clearly, having Prophecies at $10 makes it the clear choice for character slots, as you could get 2 slots from adding a Prophecies key. And to that I say -- who cares? Are they really making that much money on character slots that they couldn't halve the price as suggested? This funnels the price of the entire game down and makes for potential renewed purchases from older members. Personally, if Factions and NF were lowered to a price at which you'd pay, proportionally, for the Trilogy, I'd probably get two of each for my secondary and tertiary accounts created during the $5 Amazon fiasco.
These are my thoughts.

I would have bought a bunch at half off. Regular price is too much. The trilogy regularly sells for around $40 at GoGamer, which is 8 slots ($5 each).
They should do a "buy 4 slots for $20" type deal.

*&%$# thread title aside, this is actually a great idea.
This is the interwebz, yes...
But the interwebz killed Ursan so a $5 char slot should be EASY
