And I agree entirely. If you want to hate Arena Net for making money, turn off your PC (Microsoft and all), knock out your own power (Can't have the power companies leeching), and don't go to any stores ever (Like, starve). Because if you don't, omg, someone might use a good business move to make money off of something that benefits you and create a win-on-all-sides situation.
A.NET FTW!

I have posted before on this subject, and will try to make my opinion clear here.
1) ArenaNet is not a greedy evil empire
2) Guild Wars is a good game, a good value, and I enjoy it
3) I have nothing rong with the people who made Guild Wars
4) I DO have problems with those making decisions in ArenaNet/NCSoft, as those decesions often come from atempting to please those who complain rather than a thought out proccess of how to make the game better while harming/pissing off as few people as possable.
If the problem with merging accounts is a technical issue, then they did a horable job at setting up their database from the start - it should not be much more difficult than moving data from one location to another.
If the problem with merging accounts is with security, then they have simply not thought the proccess through - there are several easy methods of enshuring cracked/hacked accounts dont dissapear, one being sending a confermation email to both the accounts listed, and if that is not enough, request the cd-keys for each account. If they think hackers would have an easier time getting in during a merge, I honestly dont see how it would make it easier - hackers will always be working on breaking in to secure servers/computers/datafiles, and simply moving such data files wont make doing so easyer.
If those making decisions at ArenaNet dont start thuroughly thinking through their decisions before finalizing/announcing them, I would recomend they find another profession more suited to their skills.
Here is what I would like to see from them in regards to this issue:
1) A solution for merging accounts for those of us that, instead of complaining, supported their company by purchasing multiple copies of the game for additional character slots.
OR
2) Renouncing the idea of selling character slots, and going back to the way it used to be - you can still purchase additional character slots, it simply comes in the form of a second account.

What I find odd is how the slot purchase is something they added to the game as an additional option. They did not take anything away, just gave another route and some people go nuts on how a "new" added on things was implement despite the existing game plays is exactly as it was before they were upset.
This feature has been requested time and time again by us and now that we get it...

anet's doin a good job and im not mad at them for what they doing they deserve more
twicky_kid
This is very true. Businesses that do not turn their profits will sell out before it completely tanks.
I see it everyday working at a corperate job. Bigger companies have began swallowing up everything in site. Since the recent econemy changes and 9/11 in america small businesses are closing left and right. The media and white house can say what they want but the gap between poor and rich is becoming even greater. Big companies lock the little guys out that want innovation.
Anet is hardly making a profit on this game from the rest of the world. Really its the Koreans that have the monthly fee. If anything they are keeping the bandwidth cost in check for them but I dought it.
GW is a flagship for Anet and Ncsoft's other games. They hook you with a very good game that is free to get you to buy into a "brand" product in their other games which do charge monthly fees. They are very smart people but money doesn't always corrupt a company. Its the stock holders that usually ruin companies. They make no mangerial desicions and choose the best time to sell it off. Its kind of like the real estate market. You find a run down house. Invest some money into it and get it back on its feet. Start the media machine to generate a buzz then sell it off for more than you bought it.
Honestly I think if Anet had thought about the buying slots eariler and had it from release it would have been a great addition for the game. This hurts NO ONE in any way so I don't see why people are complaining. They could have just ignored our pleas and said shut up and play the game. I'm happy that they listen to their players and make adjustments based on OUR suggestions. In no other game have I felt like I can make a difference in a game by my suggestions.
I'm very happy Ensign mentioned the MGL was at the GWWC. Again my voice has been heard and was responded to. Either my suggestions to DTV or the post here on guru was noticed by the Devs. I made an effort to make changes in the game and make my voice heard.
Go Anet. If I had some extra cash I'd be buying stock right now.

Also, you should reread section 7 where it mentions selling copyrighted material. It repeatedly says "You agree to ...". As in, you. The player. ArenaNet can do whatever it wants.
This is the same for every user agreement, so you should get used to it.

Second part, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're saying that because you compromise money and values in order to play Guild Wars, it should fulfill your every desire? And if the game doesn't have something you want, then that means it should have been there to begin with? Sorry, who are you?
If you're not happy with Guild Wars, continue your search.

That's rediculous, because when you bought that tablet you couldn't do what a writing tablet was meant to do[*]. What about the game? It comes with character slots! You can do everything you were meant to do with it, except there's a limit on how many characters you can have at one time. Guess what! You can only fit so much paper in a tablet!

Anet has to pay for bills, and we the fans need to support gw not everything is going to be free all the time in lifeshould in. If we all let anet know what we want gw will be around for a long time. If they the rpg was better and wasnot so much pvp focused you would see out beating wow right now.

I don't really see the argument here - "Four slots for 50 dolalrs and no more options" == GREAT, "Four slots for 50 dollars plus additional slots for 10 dollars" == the SUXORS and they are ripping us off. Umm, nothing changed from the great deal you were getting before, if the 10 dollar thing is a rip-off, don't buy it. It's not like it is unbalancing or anything. You could always go spend 50 dollars for an online game, 20-30 dollars for each expansion you need, and 15 dollars a month for four to six slots. If you consider that a better deal, well, not much I can say after that - it sorta speaks for itself.
Eh, every decision a company with this many customers make will make some unhappy, even make some very angry. I've worked on some fairly large software project and it's amusing the e-mails you get and what makes some people mad. Generally they are either kids and have no earthly idea how the works and earthly idea of how money is made (most will get angry about this statement - they *know* it know just fine - by about 25 or so the vast majority will look back and cringe) or people who will never rise above lower management if they even make it to that point.
In the end this will popular and used quite a bit. I can understand wanting to merge accounts (the only legitimate gripe, but that doesn't invalidate the 10 dollars for extra slots idea) but we have no idea how much that would cost anet to do or if it is even possible without signifigant code re-writes.
EternalTempest
Anet has stressed and demonstarted to me that they are serious about creating a game that is skill > grind.
If they start having "paid" add-ons they be nice but I can't see them giving them an huge advantage over someone that does not have it say x paid add-on.
Some examples that people pay more money for then someone who just buys the retail version of gw and plays.
C1 pre-order items, they were "mid-range" weapons or only had specific uses.
The "rebundled" C1 to come out has nice max stat pre-order items.. but there the same that they already gave asia in there pre-orders and you can get nice collector items or greens to be about equal vaule.
The CE editions have given you "divine glow" and "back dancers"... all emote based.
If they give more items that is proven people why buy to get that give them more money yet does not unbalance the game, they stay true to skill > grind and gives them more money.
Also want to talk about other MMORPH's try playing FFXI for 2 years then play GW.

I'm betting not to many, or you are one heck of a DBA/programmer and not getting payed anywhere close to what you should be (I can say that not even knowing what you are payed, I know it's too little or you would be one of the famous people in the tech industry).
It's possible, but not easy to do. Especially given that there is no money to made, pure cost, I will also generally assume you are (at best) purely technical and know very little about the business end of things.
I bet it's also really easy to write a program that looks at any other program and determins if it stop or runs forever - right (I mean, all you gotta do is run the thing and see if it stops or not)? If you can do that then I *know* you aren't payed enough, no one on the planet is. Though it sounds really simple when written in a single sentance it is impossible to do (if you can solve it, bend you mind to the proving p=np problem - it's at least considered possible).

A.Net needs our support to be honest..i can't imagine that i wake up on the morning at news that EA Games (or any other company) bought NCsoft and A.Net for X million dollars because they were near to be broke company.
and really since i found that GW is no monthly fees and the game is brilliant and awesome i put my hand on my heart and hope this doesn't happen one day to A.Net.
all what i need is to buy factions standard edition and 1 char. slot but i'm buying also collectors edition and another slot just to support them.

All anet needs to do, is make a rpg. look at the amount of people that buy D&D. Look at how well wow is doing and the books they sell on the maps and in game stuff. If the game has rpg. Anet would not have to worry. The rpg will take care of self. look at never winter nights, the game is still selling very well. it is not even dead yet.
anet success would be in thr rpg. I think that anet needs to go buy never winter nights and D&D books to get good ideas and refences

Arena Net is hardly an evil empire - however in giving this move they have annoyed some of the more dedicated Guild Wars players. They knew from the out that people would want more than four slots and sans ability to buy new slots there would be those who would pay for a completely new account. At the time those who did this were presented with this as their only option.
To now turn around and say well we can now add more accounts is a slap to those dedicated players who paid for the second account - who spent time unlocking a second account, the frustration of transfering between the two accounts etc.
Furthermore they are saying you are going to have to buy factions twice if you did that, rather than once if you waited. I knew it was a risk I was taking when I paid for a second account, I just didn't expect A-net to come back three months later saying that there was a better way than buying a second account - lets have some communication please, people have been crying out for more slots ever since the game went live.
Clearly A-net has some ability to merge/modify entries on the database - on Friday there will be a lot of people merging Prophecies and Factions accounts and when this goes live there will be a number of people adding slots - modifying the database.
Would a one off amnesty allowing merges of accounts really hurt you that much A-net? Even if it's technically difficult, are there really that many accounts that it will be that difficult to do? We've paid for extra character slots allready - in fact we've paid more than we would under the new scheme - given a choice I don't want two seperate accounts, I want them both on one.

Now add a second account. That would be $100/1560 hr. = ~$.07/hr. and $100/500 hr. = $.20/hr. Now add the cost of two more character slots: $120/1560 hr. = ~$.08/hr and $120/500 hr. = $.24/hr. Heck, now even add the cost of Factions: $170/1560 hr. = ~$.10/hr. and $170/500 hr. = $.34/hr. That's still some of the cheapest entertainment around, so I don't know how anyone can think ArenaNet is trying to rip us off. |
Excellent Analysis! =)

I would just like to say: yay.
I want about three, maybe four extra slots, so for € 30,- / € 40,- (even less since the dollar is worth less than the euro) I would have my slots with acces to both Cantha and Tyria.
As opposed to having to pay somewhere around € 20,- (if I can find a proper chpt 1, euro 2006 edition costs € 40,-, but ill just keep the € 20,- as a guideline) for chapt 1, and € 40,- for chapt 2. So this is around € 60,- I will have 6 slots with full acces, I only want 3 or 4. I will have more storage though, but if I want even more storage i can always "buy" a mule character and still would have spend less money on the whole.
The only valid argument I heard for having seprate accounts is that the anti-farming code is account specific.

Releasing a MMORPG without monthly fee sure is risky business but I think Anet has done one helluva job showing to the gaming world that there is alternative way to play - way where you don't have to swing credit cards. (Except for the little 40 euro or so in beginning )

The funniest thing is, purchasing character slots was a player's idea. When it was raised on forums, the entire community thought; "Hey! That's an awesome idea!"..
The Anet decide to do it..and suddenly:
"they're ripping us off!"

Can't believe people are complaining about this still..I seem to say that a lot around here..
Why is a character slot $10? 10 * 4 = $40..the price of buying a whole account! OH NOES!
This community is going down the toilet these days..
Merging accounts..if they find a way to do it i'll be impressed..think of the problems:
Merging fame : They can't just add the total fame together, because you can have two r3 accounts (which takes no time to get to) and then suddenly when they merge they have an r6 account (which is much harder to achieve)..this obviously isnt fair.
Bot Farming/ Ebay : What happens when players that are selling stuff on Ebay or knowingly trading with bots merge an account? reems and reems of gathered evidence will become useless or at least very confusing.
Considering that by the time you've played the game for 100 hours the cost of the game is, and i'll do this for you americans, i actually think we in the Uk at least get a better deal;
$50/100 = 50cents an hour
We get a tremendous amount of value already.
Maybe in the future Anet shouldn't give us more options, maybe then people would be happy? I doubt it somehow...
The funniest thing out of all this is that buying slots was a player's idea. When this was talked about before Anet went through with it, the community was saying;
"Thats an Awesome idea! I'll be unhappy if Anet don't do this"
Then Anet announce it;
"They're ripping us off! They want more money!"

I had always thought keeping limited space on each account was a smart marketing ploy, and that it would remain unchanged. After all, people buying two+ copies of Factions for multiple accounts would definitely make for their profit. So this change making it possible to buy slots was (at least to me) unexpected, and is a complete different way of profiting. So for those who have multiple accounts, some will be buying at least two copies of Factions, then likely would buy a couple slots for one of their accounts. So it seems like it has profit written all over it. What I feel they'd need to do to make things fair again for the many who bought multiple accounts in the past is somehow make it possible to do a one-time merge/character swap between accounts. That way we wouldn't feel forced to buy more than one copy of Factions, but could focus on one account(in effect rendering that alternate account useless I guess).
Whether or not it seems to screw the rest over, the option is there for those who want or need it - which doesn't mean we're forced to take advantage of it; the option is simply there.

the char slots option is great, though i wont be using it.
ive got 3 prophesies accounts and i have preordered 3 factions aswell.

I kind of like the idea about being able to buy extra character slots...
Suppose you didnt want everything offered in the Collector's Edition? The 2-sided map, the music CD....whatever. BUT, suppose you wanted just 1 extra character slot? I think it works to the consumer's advantage; being flexible with your product is smart thinking, in my view...
As far as ANET being evil--well, I've seen a lot of posts about complaints on a lot of online games, and the problems those games have, the least not being the online subscription fee.
Online subscription fee.

To the complainers: What's your problem with ANET again?

I completely agree and can't wait to buy a couple more slots.
One slot is only the price of a movie and I'll get much more enjoyment out of it.
