Two accounts so I could have one of each primary profession, and a coupl extra slots .... one being used as a mule.

Exactly what my two are used for. And as it turns out, the ones on my primary account are all guys and the secondary are all girls.

You can probably see my naked ele mule hanging around in Fort Ranik on ocassion.

I got 1..
I'm not so hardcore and I'm fine enjoying the game with just 4 character slots and 1 storage box.

Just 1 here. Not been playing long enough to think of a second account yet.

Just one. I've got a slew of other games I like to play as well, in fact over until about mid Feburary I had taken a good 3 months off from this game. To date I've got one character at the last mission that needs to do it, two others just got to Drokner's Forge (the legit way I should add), and I recently started my fourth and he is coming up on the Ruins of Sumeria mission. Although it'd be nice to play a primary of each class, I haven't even finished what I have and I'm going to grab Factions and start an Assassin and Ritualist in a month and a half when it comes out.

Although I wouldn't mind a bigger storage for my characters to share...

One. I would love 2 more slots, but there's no way I'd double the game price to get them

Pack mules. I have 3 and to obtain them:
a) friend was done playing and gave it to me
b) friend gave because it was hurting his grades
c) guy gave to me because he was done playing, forgot his name

Because no, I did not spend $50 for more room for my golds, but it is nice to have .

R/Mo

Only one for me...have a R/Me, an E/Me, and a W/Mo.

Ranger was my first character and my most favorite profession of all. An ele for nuking, a warrior since many people have one (for the ability to be able to charge senselessly into battle, lol). My remaining slot is for temporary PvP characters. Sometimes I roleplay at the Isle Of The Nameless, I make a PvP character exclusive for the roleplay. When done, I delete him/her.

Factions will give two more for people who already own Chapter 1, one of those slots I believe will go into a ritualist for me. The other? No idea yet.

2 accounts with the 2nd purely for storage, and only then because a mate gave me a CD key - I had no intention of paying 18 quid for another account, and will only get one factions and link it to my main account as I can't be arsed unlocking everything a 2nd time on account 2.

Other. I technically have two, but the second is a shared account between me and two other people. We use it for storage or playing around in Pre-Sear once in a while. My personal account is more than I'll ever need to play the game. I've got all four slots filled right now, but I plan on linking my Chapter 2 account and I'll have extra spaces then. I don't plan on using them all unless I decide to PvP.

I am happy with my PVE- Necro, Ranger and Elementalist and one PVP slot. As for Factions I will merge to get the other 2 slots. In which I will have a PVE Necro, Ranger, Ele, Assain/Ritualist, and maybe a Warrior or a monk than my PVP slot.

Only one account. Hopefully, by the time I need more slots, Anet will offer a way to get them...

Interesting that 22 people answered the "Why more accounts" question, but 25 people answered they have more than 1 account.

So, three people didn't answer the secondary question...

(great poll, BTW)

I only have the one account and only one character!
Why?? well I just started and only got into post searing last week.
Been having fun with my W/E running arround and bashing things sensless
The quests and missions are getting more challenging which I like and have been helped by nice folks and have helped others; like the noob in Pre-searing that just got there and I hooked up with gold and materials to get him started; I needed room in my pack to finish a quest and get the item and it was his lucky day!
I wish more peeps would be nicer and less cut throat in GW, I have met and ran with some that are only out for themselves, and that is not fun.

I have 2, main one with 4 pve and second one with 2 mules and 1 ranger.
Wanted more storage plus to try other professions since I get attached to characters and there is no way that I would delete one.
Plus all the chracters in the main account have done everything in pve and got all unlocks and skills for every profession.
