So, whenever Anet finally gets around to implementing character slot purchase.... how many slots are you planning to buy, and for what use?

Personally, I'll be buying at least three. I have six of the eight classes on my primary account now and two (necro and warrior) on a secondary account - for which I do not intend to buy additional chapters. So I need two slots to bring my necromancer and warrior PvE chars into the fold of my main account, and as I'm starting to enjoy PvP I want to have a PvP slot.

I may also buy another slot as a storage mule, as I the "materials tab" storage upgrade is too little, too late.

So how about the rest of you, does 3 seem like what people will be doing, so as to have all 8 classes + PvP slot?

All of them, there will be none left for other players. But I'm not greedy, I'll sell them to your 3 easy payments of $120, payable up front, all at once, of course.
I'm also going to need you to hand over 5 million in gold for the sign-up lease.
Terms are a modest 100k per week for 365 weeks. I reserve the right to revoke slots at will, usually after money has been obtained.

I'm buying at least 10 so that I can have one of each class and a mule for each char.

And I'm really hoping that it will happen soon because what with weapons/armor/random crap in all my chars inventories, I have about 3 storage slots left on each of my toons.

I need 8 professions + PvP slot for both American and European accounts so that is 6 extra slots for me.

You may manage them well, but I'd like to see how you manage 8 professions and PvP into six slots.

Of course if you don't care about PvE (or PvE with particular classes) then of course you're fine.

I was thinking I'd get 2 more for the other two professions, but maybe I'll get another one for PvP only. I'd like to see the mechanics of purchase and such.

Probably just one. I don't have any specific plans for it, but I want to keep my options open.

Same here, except I manage them WELL.

My goal is to have 4 PvE characters that have all eight classes represented, have one extra (likely a Monk) PvE slot, and one completely designated PvP slot.

I found that, although using a secondary doesn't give you the full flavor of the primary, you get enough of a taste of it that doesn't warrant, IMO, forming a full blown primary character in many instances. But that's just me...

you're not kidding about "actually use"... right now at least two of my characters I don't play, or if I want/need to play them I have to spend 10 minutes shuffling crap around through the xunlai.

2-3.

Recreate my mesmer, ranger, assassin, and ele on my first acct so I don't have to buy 2 copies of every chapter. Also, I'll have 6 lvl20 mules on my second acct.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I will definitly buy two more so I can have a mesmer and a assassin (finally!).

As for the PvP, cant u do PvP with normal PvE characters? I thought the only difference was that for PvP characters, when you made them, you could choose what armors, runes, weps, ect. they had... (at least that is almost exactly what my freind told me. I've never had enough slots to try a PvP character myself so I don't know.. ) If that is the only difference then I'm fine with just 2 slots for now.

Let's see.

pvp slot
and a nubby mesmer I won't put any money into.

That clears things up.

My E/x is basically a warrior. ( tank )

I see no reason for pve primary mesmers, and I find nuker-elementalists uninteresting, althoguh I may make a pve ele eventually. As such, just another 3 or so slots for pure PvP laziness. I'll never have to re-roll again XD.

6 Slots is enough for me, the only reason i would buy more, is so that i can save my PvP builds. I'm tired of rolling...


Omg @ people in this thread, do you do something else than play?

If you want to play all 8 proffessions though PvE story? :/ That'd be very boring.

I only need a warrior in PvE for farming gold.
