Just a couple factions questions

seeing rumors flying around about factions im a bit confused so could some1 plz clear a few things up for me

1st,
Will adding the access key for factions to my current GW acount add any more character spaces or will it remain at 4?

2nd,
Will we be able to create assassins/ ritualists and play through the prophecies campaign or are those 2 classes restricted to being created in factions only?

and finally,
the unique items u get with the the preorder, do u only get them once or can u have them on more than 1 character as i know they are automatically customed for the character u unlock them with?

sorry if any of these have been answered elsewhere

1. Combining games will get you 2 more slots with all 6 characters having access to Tyria and Cantha.

2. As far as I know you should be able to as long as you have combined both games on one account.

3. Just type /preorder on any character on the account you entered the preorder key to get the items.

thanks for clearing that up, if any1 else has anymore info about the 2nd question plz let me kno

I think we'll just have to wait and see about Question Number 2.

But the fact there are currently NPC Luxon and Kurzicks in Tyria, using Factions skills, is a good sign Faction Characters could be started in Tyria (Chapter 1).

Let's say I'm up at 12:01am and I logon. I'm pretty sure we don't get our 2 extra slots until the day it comes out, so does that mean we can only use our new Factions account and only play in Cantha during the headstart? or can we link them and do both (but without the 2 extra slots)? Because I was wondering if I would have access to all my money in the account I choose to link during the headstart or do I have to wait to link on the official day?

That is correct, verified by Gaile on one of these threads. You actually won't get your bonus slots until you add retail key of Factions to your current account.

My understanding is you can either create a new chracter in Cantha (if you currently have an empty slot, or delete a character if you don't) OR you can bring an existing Ascended char into Cantha (through Lion's Arch).

Either way, you should have access to money through the Xunlai Storage, who are from Cantha anyway!

From my understading, if you entered your retail factions cd-key to your account before or during the pre-order 24hr headstart, you'll get 2 slots already. Since the 2 slots is attached to the retail factions not with the 'date' release.

So you have two options, use your Prophecies char first? Or create a new char?

I'm sure I'm a little slow here.

(I used search but Google kept bringing up threads from last year's release.)

Will there not be a key code you can purchase online at the stroke of midnight? Or will that not come until later like Prophecies did? You absolutely MUST have a retail box copy to play after the 24-hour head start? (I already have preorder.)

I will totally cancel my Amazon retail order for GW:F if I can just download and pay for it online. Amazon won't get it to me for a few more days after official release.
