Ok so we know about the ongoing about the 6 slots issue.

And this thread "Six character slots confirmed" will carry on.

But my Question is, you going to merge your Accounts or your Going Solo?

I ask this cos myself I still don’t know what I am going to do.

On one side I want to merge both accounts so I don’t have to unlock skills and want to travel between both world (even without knowing how this will work) but this would leave me with one Slot for the Assassin Primary & another for the Ritualist primary and no slots for PvP, only PvP with my PVE characters. (nothing wrong in doing pvp with pve characters

)

On the other hand I could make an Assassin Primary and Ritualist primary and still have 2 slots left. I would not travel between worlds but would have more choice in regards to characters management.

Now would I benefit allot in bringing my Assassin or Ritualist to Tyria? Why would I want to play the same mission that we been playing for 9 months in Tyria?

Or is there more to it that i am missing?

Let me know what you guys plan to do?

Or is it to early to make such a decision?

I'm gonna merge...

I'm hoping for the option to purchase more character slots in the future as well as storage space, its been discussed here a lot and hopefully A-Net will take it into consideration.

i am going to merge my chapter 1 CE with my chapter 2 CE.

i may get a second regular and keep that separate for 2 more storage slots and another guild hall with guild storage when it comes

I'm planning on it. I actually prefer to do pvp on pve characters, and the fact that not all of the prophecies skills will be available to solo factions characters just sealed the deal for me.

Merging both of my CEs... I worked too hard to unlock all stuffs just to give it away for 2 extra slots which I won't ever use -___-;

You'd have to really enjoy grinding PvE to not merge.

the fact that if you dont merge, you cant use the new skills with the old ones, sorta makes not merging pointless. The only advantage you get with not merging is 2 extra character slots.

Merge. Because you get access to your unlocked skills/upgrades. Also because it is confusing to have multiple accounts.

I’ll be merging, to access all the content. Plus I don’t want to start a whole new 4 characters from level one again.

Merge. From what I've seen so far, it just seems silly not too.

My 6 core classes will have 100 skills compared to someone who doesn't merge having only 75.

I'll have many more armor options available to all my characters.

My entire map with grow and allow much more for me to do PvE-wise.

And...from taking over my girlfriends account, I know just how retarded it is to have separate accounts. It hasn't even been more the "extra" character slots...re-unlocking almost ever skill...getting all my characters decent weapons and armor again...not worth it at all...and I won't ever do that for the expansions.

Merge. Theres more benefits to merging accounts than you get by having 2 seperate accounts to get 2 more slots. Hell, I doubt I'll use both of those new slots.

Only reason I'm going to merge is to have access to all of chatper 1 and 2 skills on one account.

I have another account of chapter 1 so I have 4 extra slots already. With chapter 1 being cheaper and going to drop in price I buy another copy if you are looking to get more storage.

Need a friend to xfer stuff but hell you need a friend to do just about anything in this game.

Looks like nearly everyone will be merging then, me included.

Lots probably feel that Anet is a bit tight with character slots, but, when it comes to more content over more account space, usually more content wins out.

I do wish that the collectors edition did come with extra spaces, that would have been a great inscentive to buy it (I already am anyway..), but I'll manage.

I'm definitely going to buy two copies of factions to merge with two of my four accounts. I really regret buying 4 copies of the game

, especially with 2 campaigns being released per year.

I like my characters as they are and want to bring them to the new lands. Although you get 4 slots versus only 2 if you upgrade, you will be worse off because you will only have 4 slots available to use in Cantha instead of 6.

I really don't see what all the complaining is about. Of course, I would be happier if our characters were able to jump and climb

.

I do mainly PvE however with the new Guild Alliances, I will be doing more PvP also.

They were real smart on this - See - Without ch1 key on the account, ch2 characters dont have access to MANY good ch1 skills not deemed "core". Like Spiteful Spirit is an example I think

And if you already have a PvP slot - YOu'll still have it - plus 2 slots for sin and rit. If you just have 4 pve characters...Why are you complaining about no pvp slot in factions?

I think anyone in their sound mind would merge.
Unless you really do not care about your characters and want to go thru the hassle of unlocking skills again.
Plus u do not get to have all the skills with the ch2 account.

Merge is the logical answer here and I wonder why people would not merge.
Having 2 extra slots does not compare to actually taking your current characters to ch2 and beyond.

After all this I am more lean as well into merging I do have 2 accounts but I think I will only be buying one Factions copy but I will make it CE.

Don’t really fancy unlocking all the skills again for the 6 default characters.

But i dont think i will be travelling to Tyria, i am sure it will be empty anyway.

And Later on i can always get another copy of factions if i run out of things to do.

if and when they have the guild hall storage you can have your second account character join the first account guild and transfer through that

Merge. I want to take my Assassin and Ritualist to Tyria and my current characters to Cantha. I have 2 Chapter 1 accounts and I'll connect each one to a Chapter 2 account. I'll have 8 pve slots and 4 pvp slots total
