Ability to create more than 4 characters

Hmmm...as I see it, four is actually a real big gift from ArenaNet. Thanks, ANet! Like someone said before, they're not getting paid for all this extra room for our "alternate" characters. IMO I think one is enough, two max. First, you make a character to unlock everything for PvP. If you're a RP kind of guy, then you can simply Xunlai Storage all the sentimental items and gold and remake a new character. If you're a PvP'er, then simply unlock, delete, and create a PvP character. When you're bored of that, delete and make a new one. They start at lvl 20 anyways.

Just my opinion, because one slot is the bare minimum we need to play the game, and we aren't giving ArenaNet much else other than the right to play the game. Four slots IMO is a boon, and if you find you need more, don't you think Guild Wars is a decent enough game and ArenaNet a decent enough organization that you would shell out an extra $50 to buy another account?

4 is decent number would be good if they added one slot for just pvp only charchters

I don't see why they can't allow for account upgrades?
Charge you a set amount of cash for X number of character slots?

Personally I would like 2-4 more slots....with access to the same storage.

I would pay for another 2 slots.

Could they also not possibly add slots to accounts that purchase any future expansions? That's be a nice thing to do, not only would you be getting new content but also an extra character slot on your account.

I would also like to have another slot... at least 7... 6 for each primary (the armor collection) and 1 for pvp...

4 are just too few...

of course... personally i would like to have 13 so i have 6 male primary and 6 female primary so i get to try out all the outfit by myself... and the 1 for pvp.

surely they would implement it for the expansion

What is it with u people that say 6 would but enough and that guy saying that 4 is a gift i dont know if any of u played diablo before but you could have as many characters as u wanted and alot of people played that game and it didnt slow anything down 40 slots is reasonable!!!

Hunter... THe thing you are forgetting when comparing GW to Diablo is that all GW characters are on THEIR server.. Diablo characters were on individual PCs.

That would be nice, i bought two accounts to have more.

Only parts of the characters were saved to the pc, the rest were saved to the servers (but they did have more servers which gave them more space)

If they are going to add classes in expansion maybe we should make it like 8-10 characters. :P

8 characters imo would be good.

err. dunno which MMO's you've been playing. most I've ever played allowed anywhere between 6-15. Only one i know of that was 1 slot per account was Final Fantasy 11 and even they allowed you to expand by simply paying an extra $1 a slot. Of course, FFXI was a diffrent sort of game where you could change between classes anytime you wanted so you didnt really NEED more then 1 slot.

Anywho, 6-8 slots sounds good to me.

as many of you stated i think it should be possible to have one character of each primary class.

I also have to say that I think the upgrade/merging idea of 2 cd-keys into one account is GREAT, it allows the players to have as many characters as they want and it will provide arenanet with additional funds for servers, maintenance etc. As it is now you will have to buy 2 of every expansion, and also have 2 separate storages.

They are probably expecting more money to flow in from people who have four characters they like not wanting to delete one and then buying another copy of the game so that they can try out different primary classes.

Still, I think that it is reasonable to give people who bought the CE version of the game (and paid almost double the price) to have 2 additional character slots, because devine aura turned out to be crap, and teamspeak will eventually cost money if you wish to continue to use it and putting it in the game was most advertising for teamspeak than a gift. No bout TS paid for some of the costs to put their particular brand in the CE editions.

i'm still anticipating what they are gonna do here. imo... its not really a matter of if they change things for us, but a matter of when. i now have two GW accounts becuase i couldnt wait for them to make a decision as to what to do. i just hope now they will let me add both of those accounts into one and have the 8 characters playable on one account. It sucks not being alble to freely move my great axe to my warrior when i want. I have to find somebody in my guild that's not doing anything and burden him while i make the swap.

yeah and i should listen to you cause u almost know what ur talking about!
Character files Do Bot Take Up that much room!

Here is another idea...
When you get expansion, you get the choice of getting one a little more expensive but adds character slots.

Umm how about its free cause this is just pathetic only haveing 4 chars!!!

You can have 8 chars...it's 49.99 for the extra 4

I'd happily do that if you could link the unlocked skills/items/vault.

I would like to have a primary from each class and a PvP toon.
