I just added a FPE key to my account, believing that I would, at least for the weekend, get 6 slots. I was wrong.
Of course, using comon sense in conjunction with aNet, for ME, has always felt like a waste of time.
What is aNet thinking??? That I delete one of my lvl 20 chars to make room for a weekend-char???
Ok, I might've created a new account with that key, but aNet tells me on their web-page, that chars from different accounts can't be merged.
Nice going aNet. Do the preview yourself.
Still only 4 slots???

They've said this on several occasions. Assuming that most people have a dedicated pvp slots. Since nothing you do this weekend will stick to your account you could just make a new account using one of your invites.

Email an invite to yourself, and then you'll be able to create a temp account to enter the FPE. Nothing but skill unlocks would have stayed on your main account anyway, so you're not losing much more than the rest of us.

He/she is loosing skill and weapon upgrade unlocks.. I'm planning to get as many of them as I can during this weekend. I dont care about PvE, since whatever I do there will be wiped out as soon as the FPE is over.

Well, I just got a reply from support, that charcters created during the weekend will still exist after the weekend, only reset.
That means, if I create a new char on a new account, it'll be stuck to that account and I can't have it transfered to my other account,once I buy factions.

Sorry about the 4 slot limit.
That would have been a nice surprise for those that pre-ordered. It also raises the question of whether we will get the two extra slots in the 24 hour early access.

It takes at least 30 hours to get a lv20 through the game, and another 30 or so to get all of the elite skills.
I think they should consider the pains their players go through with their characters.
I say let them play it theirselves.
I'll wait until I get the full game.

You people complain about stuff way too easily... I have all four of my slots on my main account taken, but do I complain... NO. I just make a seperate account to play. It's not a problem. I did it for the PvP weekend and I had fun. Thats all that I care about this weekend is fun... I'm sure you can spend your faction on your main account for stuff to unlock this weekend if you have excess of it. Just dont complain. We dont want to hear it.
Weylin Carden
All of this was very clear on the web site, and from other posts made on this website. I am actually surprised that there are those that are upset about this.
Seems pretty logical to me. Factions has not been released yet, and when it does you will have the option of getting your additional slots, whether it be four or two.

So it's not the time it takes me to go from 1 to 20 that annoys me, but the fact, that I don't get additional slots with the FPE key.
Somebody at aNet must not have made his/her homework.
Oh, and I just checked their homepage

It sure would've been outstanding customer service to have 2 more slots for the weekend, but, huh? customer service? Never heard that in my life before.
Juicey Shake
What are you getting angry about? All that remains after this event are skill unlocks.
If you have 4 pve chars, you probably don't even care about unlocks, so why do you get all heartbroken over not having a reset, level 1, takes under 2 min to create basically brand new character when factions comes out? Just send an invite to yourself, sheesh.
Why do you need additional slots when you can have 4 just by sending yourself an invite? C'mon now ~_~.

"Will there be additional character slots available during the FPE?
No, but if you want more character slots during the FPE weekend then you can send yourself an invitation, then use that invitation to make a new account just for testing. But remember to unlock skills and item upgrades on the account that you intend to use in the future, and not on a temporary account."
Read a bit more before you complain and maybe you'll get some pitty.
Toffin
They have said all along that you will not have extra slots for the FPE. Only when the game is released. Gaile has even stated that to send yourself an invite to the FPE.
Beta is Beta - I am glad they are not adding more slots until the game, too many would abuse this.

But you're right, about the reading. I did too little of that.
It's still poor service.
And I don't see the possible abuse, as somebody mentioned.

you expect people to read these things?good heavens i know how it should be run just for me so dont give me facts that contridict me
make a temp account and have some fun as there will always be someone with more time toerase that tiny advantage you thought you would get over the other plater
get over it
Mage Henchnem
I think that everyone complains too much, this is a Beta weekend, that means that they are allowing us to play the new stuff and get ahead by unlocking and learning how to use the charachters, I think everyone should be happy that they are having a public beta. Ok sure it would have been nice to have an extra 2 slots, but it really wouldn't matter too much, as they will be gone at the ned of the weekend.
As far as having 4 slots and being expected to delete one to make a pvp slot or a new slot for the new classes, no you deffiunatly dont have to, but if you want the advantage of being able to be effective in pvp then thats a sacrifice you are going to have to make. I had almost a thousand hours logged before I started PvPing, and I had 4 charachters that had completed the storyline missions, I deleted one to make a pvp slot and it was the best decision I have evert made. I now have 1 pvp slot and 3 rpg, and I reroll that pvp toon many times a day to do that job that I want to do in each group. the only downside is that I have deleted several sigils and a lot of gold when I forget that I had it before rerolling, but thats just attention to detail!
I'm stoked abotu the weekend and I cant wait to get off work and try out the new build options!!!!

This is not the first MMo that I have played, but it is the first free one, and if anyting the customer service at Anet is better then the pay games. I don't think that people understand what they are complaining about half the time when they complain. You really cant expect to have everyting handed to you on a silver platter because its what you feel you deserve. you need to look at the overall game dynamics and the big picture before you go off about menial details, like will we get an extra 2 slots for this 4 day event, because we all know that would have such a HUGE impact on everything..../sarcasm off

Just make the identical character again during the early access. You might even have some better faces to choose from (I certainly hope we will...)

I don't think that it is unreasonable, most MMORPG's require a monthly fee to play, and the customer service is at least as good here as it is on the pay games. As far as paying for 2 collectors editions, if thats what you want to do thats fine, but you still arent paying a monthly fee, and if you have 2 accounts, you are probably pretty s4rious about it, so in retorospect, no i dont think that that is very much money considering what you will be getting out of it, especially since thats all you will be paying.

I just hate when people don't look at the big picture and they complain about something that is already better then most other games out there. If you don't like it so much, then stop playing, no sweat off my back, i for one am completely satisfied with the product that I am getting for the price. I have spent $100 on the game plus factions, and have been playing since the game came out, thats less then $10 a month, most MMORPGs charge about $15 q month plus the cost of the game, if you don't think thats value, then maybe you should stick to yahoo spades or something.

People want things for free... period...
People want to sit arround and complain about their $50 for a video game.... that says alot about the rest of their life...
So you get 4 slots, delete a character or use a temp key, and STFU... Guru turns into the whining grounds of all the 15 year olds... there are already sooo many posts about how "Bad" this preview event is etc.. etc.. etc..
I say to you people stop playing the game, because your a DRAG!

I don't understand what the big deal is. This was explained before the FPE even happened, am I expecting too much out of people that they would actually read the information that is already available?

This event really sucks
why could they not just make it so you can take your characters to the new section?
The people who play the game the most don't have spare character slots and have to muck around with invitee information that many who have friends in rl have already given out.
Does this mean that we are not going to be able to play our main characters in the new game? If so I want to cancel my pre-order.
This is just one crap thing amongst many in recent updates - I can see this game going the same way as Eve online (crap game play)

Wow, just wow. You DID NOT enter the Factions key. Nobody HAS the Factions key. You entered the *PREORDER* key, which does not give you slots because it costs like, what, $2? Calm down, when the real key comes, you will get six slots. Everything you do WILL be reset after this weekend, except for unlocks. But good god, just send yourself an email and enjoy the weekend.
OMFG, your old characters WILL go to Cantha, just not for this weekend so you can't aquire any new goods. This weekend is a PREVIEW weekend, NOT a weekend where you can play early.
God, I swear some people on this site CANNOT read or something.

I sent myself an invite since I have 4 character (PvE) slots full and that's what everybody was saying to do. The clent thingy just locates my current GW install and the only options are Run Guild Wars from current location, Reinstall and Uninstall....zuh? So I booted up GW anyways and added the invite key from the email and.... nothing. It looks like you still have to delete a character to join the FPE so I give up. I'll check out Factions April 28th when I buy the full game. Heh.

I don't really give a dam, but it would be nice to keep unlocked skills.
