How Many Character Slots Will You Buy?
RuPee
its wierd how this works. when they first made the annoucement that they were going to sell extra slots, i was all excited and wanted to buy an extra 2 slots. but as time went on i thought to myself that i didnt really want to drag another 2 characters through the game.
so now i plan to buy: 0
so now i plan to buy: 0
Poison Ivy
2 slots.
So I'll have 8 for each profession.
Might buy more if Chapter 3 has more professions - Gota love PvE.

Res Ipsi
None. I already have a toon for each profession.
titan0987
Psh, none. I shared a regular account with 4 slots, so I only got 2. NO problems, I know what to keep and what to get rid of. No point in holding a 1000 items if you're not going to sell them.
Misa
I am going to get 3 slots
Sai of Winter
Thinking about getting three, I feel like making another ranger (male) for some reason. Right now, its just two slots for me. Bring back my ele and a pvp slot.
Fyre Brand
None. I use 4 for Pve/PvP and 2 for storage. I'm not really interested in paying $10 a slot which I think is a bit high.
Tal Lightbringer
Anet will never get another dollar of mine. Their lack of credibility and lack of accountibility have made sure of that.
Sable Phoenix
Pay for character slots, yeah right. I've been against the idea from the first time it was mentioned and refuse to pay for something they ought to (and do) give to us free when we buy the game. The game is more than expensive enough to handle 8 character slots per account without having to pay extra for them.

What I would LOVE to pay for is MERGING my TWO accounts.... I ABSOLUTELY HATE MOVING STORAGE FROM ONE ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER.... can't there be a Guild storage that can be accessed via password or something so we are not always trying to beg people to move stuff...
The storage expansion was weak....what a smart way to encourage buying more character slots - most of us are not buying them for characters but for more storage =.=
/endrant
I don't mind spending money on GW's if it improves the efficiency of the game...but is it me or couldn't a merge fee at a total cost per slot do the same job and better?

wsmcasey
I would buy 1 or 2 for an extra pve character and pvp slot.
Taken
I have played for more than 3500 hours across two accounts over the last year. Some of that is afk, of course, but assume at least 1750 hours.
I have 2 accounts with both areas, which cost me a total of around $200 US.
So in all I have paid about 11.5 cents U.S. per hour to play Guild wars so far.
I am so not feeling ripped off.
I am happy for the people who make GW to make more money so that there will be more content. Paying for more slots is part of that and I don't mind.

Sir Mad
Taken, that's just.. right. No monthy fee but hell, indeed having a new campaign every 6 months costs the same price. However... I'm addicted. Yeah I'm going to buy 3 extra slots. 2 for finally having a mesmer and an ele, and 1 to have again a pre-searing char - I just love this place.
Markaedw
I've changed my mind also, now I am just going to buy 1 assassin for factions and 1 mesmer for chapter 3.
I just don't feel like creating another ranger that looks like every other ranger. Now if the implement something like over in this tread I would.

You guys have too much money and too little organisation! :P

Diablo???
..Till i'm broke.
fiery
Gunna need a credit card :X,hoping not maybe a key card, if so 1.
Maxiemonster
None, I only need one character slot.
d4nowar
MAYBE one. Just to say that I bought one.
Thallandor
Adopting a wait and see attitude until C3 to see if the PvE is worth anything at all before i decide to throw more money at it to buy more slots so that i can endure the cutsences with the bad voice acting all over again....
Peter The Wise
none, my people think its a waste of money and that I play enough as is
Cirian
None. If anything, I need to cut back from 6 characters to 4.
eudas
0. I have 3 empty slots as it is, and 2 that I barely play.
eudas
eudas
Eugaet
2, so I can have one of each primary.
AngelsThanatos
I'm not buying any. It's been cheaper for me to buy a second account; in the UK if I shop around on the internet I can get both chapters for £28 (about $33). That way I get an extra xunlai, 6 slots, and ability to be online with both accounts at the same time (have run myself around tyria, be in 2 different guilds, other advantages).

I think A-net needs to hurry it up. If you read the thread we all started out as "COOL, I'm going to buy 100!!" now it's like "meh, what ever"
Or maybe it is just me
Or maybe it is just me
Juicey Shake
if ch3 is as lame for me as I think it will be 0, otherwise 2.
temp
im gettin 2
1 for a mesmer [depending on storage will act as mule]
1 for an assassin [depending on storage will act as mule]
1 for a mesmer [depending on storage will act as mule]
1 for an assassin [depending on storage will act as mule]
Markaedw
If you are going to use the new slots as mule you are better off just picking up a prophecies and searing them. My mule account has runes, weapons, the 50g, plus anything else I think the a new charater will need. Much more convienent that a single account mule. I roll a PvE toon go to the Hall trade the stuff and that new toon is ready to go, storage is open, good starter weapons, all the runes and bags it needs, all to easy.
wankey
Why do I have to buy them? Anet owes me 2 slots for Factions.
Andy_M
None.
raven66z0r
12 more so I can have a male and female for each class + 2 pvp characters

Lafayette
Probably none, but that's not guaranteed. I should be able to get by until the two additional slots accompanying Chapter 3. I don't have a particular urge to create more characters; I've made enough as it is (and, obviously, most have been deleted).
Dumeka
I actually have enough slots for now with my two accounts.
First Account: 4 PvE, 2 PvP characters
Second account: 3 PvE, 2 PvP, 1 Empty
In Chapter 3 there should be at least 1 - 2 more slots anyway and to be honest, you shouldn't get any slots only for storage purposes because actually as it was said and promised a Auction House and Storage Vault NPC in the guild halls should be made available and I'm kinda sure that ANet is still working on both.
I hope they will be available soon and not first in chapter 3 though, because they got announced first as features for chapter 2 and afterwards as an update after chapter 2.
If you however need more slots for characters you would like to play, that is another story and then you should go for it.

Im confused with this idea I will be buying slots 2 me thinks! but does that mean with further chapters we won't get any new character slots for new professions?
or do we have to buy more character slots?

Anyway I'll be buying at least 2 more slots maybe 3 as Ive currently got 1 x male and 1 x female assassin
(was seeing which char model I prefered)
and they've both got Dragon masks so I don't want to delete either of them now.

I'm buying ZERO, yep ZERO, got enough room already for items, and got 3 open slots, I dont need a slot for every class lol, you get the same amount of skills you get from primary class with secondary class, so dont see need to have each and every class. AS for me, I gave up selling good items, I dont feel like selling flatbow req 8 15%^50% for 10K, I feel that it is sad to try and sell something 10K with perfect stats. And I only save items that I know for sure are worth 60K+. I say they give you good amount of character slots (4 for 8 classes, and 1 PvP is good enough that extra one, is a gift I say), as for storage, pft dont have the time to goto every zone dist 1 and spam my weapon for money anymore, everyone has perfect 15%^50% i think, because stupid weaponsmith makes em, I want to strangle him now.
Anyways ZERO for me, I will buy the new expansions (which I think give you more character slots + other stuff, doubt chapter 3 have new class, assassin was really a warrior class lol cept you can spawn near someone, oo big deal), but it better be good, or I'ma find all the cons(which a lot if I dont like) and beat the pros, lol. When I say good I mean good as in AT LEAST 35% OF LAND NOT FOR LVL 20s (factions is kind of ghetto I think, doesnt feel like a MMORPG because you cant improve in factions and eventually solo something, thats a true MMORPG, like everquest at least 35% game soloable, all the good RPGS have 35% soloable, heck maybe 75% final fantasy was best RPG ever I think, and they dont make 90% land NOT SOLOABLE like FACTIONS)

Before GWF has been released, I wanted to buy 4 but now NONE.
SIN and ME are not that useful and welcome by a group in most of the missions toward the end of GWF as well as Elite Missions LOL.
I will have to wait after GW3 will be released to make the decision.
I really want to see if Anet can be able to make an ELITE MISSION that is required all available professions for effectively completing the mission.
That way everyone in a group can SEE and LEARN the power as well as the effectiveness of each profession.
