$9.99 is far too much to ask, I'm better off buying a mule for at least double that.

with this craptacular update in re. to bags/storage I won't be spending ANY money for anet....and I'll be rethinking buying gw2 if this is how they'll operate in the future.

haven't gotten the extra tab due to ncsoft website errors not letting me log in. /yah!

I used to really really be a big supporter of anet but now...meh.

free on both accounts, and that's it. Dropped some coin for some characters for the 5 slot equip bag, to open up some space elsewhere. Maybe eventually I'll actually get the full bag on my main char. Stupid thing still won't hold all my armor though...but it'll be a big help.

Back to the topic on hand, I bought all 4 storage panes and I could hear the angels sing when I did it. I didn't buy them for extra storage (I bought enough char slots in the past) - I bought them so I can access my stuff easier without shuffling it between mules, and they are SO worth it for that.

They were £5.95 (UK pounds) each, which was cheaper than I expected - current dollar/pound exchange rate says they should be more like £6.85 each. Put it another way, the UK price is the equivelent of about $8.65.

Managed to get my free pane as well a short while ago - NCsoft site is still struggling, but traffic seems to a little lower now and I managed to get through eventually.

I'd try buying or getting something if I didn't have to do it through my PlayNC account. I always have issues getting into that account. DX

None at the moment besides the free one. And I'll most likely never buy one considering the fact that a mule would cost the same and would yield more storage. I also have 3 other accounts, so.. yeah. Amazon Black Friday $5 Proph ftw.

I didn't buy any yet but I have a horrible feeling the game will wear me down till I give in. I got the free one, and I'm thinking, "No, I won't buy any. Don't need it. It's fine". But evey time I log in the sparkly store advert in the corner of the screen gently beckons me. Every time I go to my stash I see the greyed out tabs I can't access. The next time my stash gets full instead of doing a spring clean I'll think "Well just >one< more tab wouldn't hurt, I could keep collectables in it!". Help! *whimpers*

I bought 3 tabs. Nothing worse than running out of storage.

I really don't mind throwing some money Anet's way. I have had very good value out of this game over the years.

It was such a trivial amount of money it was a no brainer.

None... I rather buy extra character slots than storage tabs in my opinion. 45 space > 20 space

Yes, if you're short of storage space, buy char slots. Same as ever.

However, if you already have plenty of storage, extra tabs are far more convenient for accessing your items, than moving things in and out of mule storage. That's when 20 xunlai space become better than 45 mule space. You might still think it's not worth $10 for that luxury, but I sure do :-D

I could have bought a whole game with that!

Anyway I did pick up the free slot and upgraded my characters a bit so I'm pretty happy now. However I am going to keep an eye out for this later if they decide on some type of package deal around Christmas and see if it's worth it.

The official GW site has a link up to the NCSoft store where you can purchase slots. If you click buy now, you'll see where it has the promotion for a free one you type in for a coupon.

Not planning on buying any, like others, I'll just buy more mules if I need more room.

One nice thing about mules is that when you get bored with your current chars, you can turn a mule into a playable toon.

I'm most likely not even going to get the free pane, either, because I don't want to create a PlayNC master acct and link my GW accts with it - one hears too many horror stories around here about problems with the PlayNC accts for me to want to chance it.

I'm a packrat, like so many people in the game, but I find it good to totally run out of space now and then because it forces me to get rid of a lot of crap that I've been hanging onto forever that I know I'm never going to use anyway.

The small equipment bags will probably be sufficient for me, even if they are a bit on the pricey side.

4. And it's wonderful. My characters are finally cleared of their unnecessary burdens and I've got storage well organized with space to spare. Will be getting the free one when the website becomes un-crap (which... well, okay, maybe never) and am excited about cleaning off a few mules and having at least one legitimate PvP-only character that I can switch around as needed.

I'd like a name change for my main, but $15 is a bit too much right now and considering the scare about not being able to use customized items. I might not do a name change but if gets cheaper at some point in time I may.

4 tabs and a makeover kit. The convenience is worth it to me, I hate changing characters 14 times trying to find what I'm looking for. Also my ele and mes have way better hair now /girliness

If I did it would have been my 7th account.. I don't really need more mules, just the simplicity of moving items around inside storage.

I bought all four, plus the freebie of course.

I didn't have to, I didn't need to, it doesn't give me an unfair advantage over anyone - I just wanted to.

Thanks, ANet.

Sigh. Freedom of speech does not exist on the internet. Nor does it work like you think it does in reality.

Anyway, I haven't bought any panes yet - haven't even managed to get the free one (come on NCSoft! Cooperate!). I will probably end up buying at least one at some point, just because it's far more convenient than mules. And I know I'm going to get a makeover kit - I want to play my Ranger, but I hate how she looks, but I don't want to delete my oldest character. So I'm going to pretty up some of my characters

$9.99 is too much being able to buy a new character for that much means that its not an attractive option, sure you have access to it across all characters but is it that hard to hop on your mule char swap the item with a one in storage and then hop back and take it out? maybe like 5.99 would have been a good price.

oh and P.S i bought no extra panels nor will i in the future, not like i need them anyway.

oh and the "free" one that require zcoins requirement is stupid, 50 gold zcoins might not be too much for those who play everyday and thus do every single one of the quests and gvg stuff etc, but for casual players its too much me thinks.

I've got none yet. I only plan on getting 1 makeover kit as my monks hair clips and my prophecies Ele has grey hair which needs a wash & blowdry

I seriously doubt I'll buy any more panes tho as I think they are a bit expensive when compared to buying a new char slot. If they were half the current price I'd probably buy 1 or 2 but money is tight these days.

I got the freebie, but I have no intention of buying more.

This is not a QQ. I am thankful for the free extra pane. There's just no need to pay for more, especially when you can get an extra char slot for the same $9.99 and get 45 spots instead of 20 (47 if you count equipped weapons).
