Yes I know this has been covered before, and the general consensus is 2 extra slots if linking Factions to a Prophecies account, but I've just received an e-mail from Game about my Faction's pre-order saying I can upgrade to the CE if I wish, and in the list of features it clearly stats 'key for additional character slot'

I've copied the e-mail below:

Quote:

Say's it on their webite too - see http://shop.game.net/ViewProduct.asp...144&mid=328036

Could it be a Europe only thing? Either way I shan't be bothering with the CE as the extra bits aren't worth £20 extra IMO.

no they simply are incompent to update.

check the contents from the GW site and there are no extra keys for anybody.

proof is the absence of 50 threads here yelling how unfair it is because they get it and we dont.

they are incompetent

The contents are even completey accurate. It doesn't say in-game dance for Assasins and Ritualists . I *HIGHLY* doubt that the info from that game site is accurate.

Just checked a finnish site where I bought my Guild Wars from and they say the same thing, "One extra slot".
I'm guessing someone has been giving these sites wrong info. Or maybe it is the right info but we just don't know it yet.

You don't get an extra char slot above your aditional slots.
This is from the Official guild wars website:

# 2 game CDs

# Soundtrack CD

# Double-sided poster: Map of Cantha and Factions Poster

# Game Manual

# Quick Reference Card

# Cloth Picture

# Art book

# Desk Calendar

# Mouse Pad

# Sticker Set

# Collectable Plastic Game Activation Card

# Special In-Game Dance Emote for the Assassin and Ritualist

# Bonus Music Key

can you tell me where it is written that you get an extra slot?
I can't find it

Some retailers (well most) have had that list up far before GW had released the content of CE. Gaile has mentioned that only the information on the GW site is correct and untill ANet releases the list don't count on anything you read.

- maybe now we can try and get our copies for free from our retailers because it is not as it has been advertised?

The list has already been published on the gw website.
