Guild Wars 2

64 characters/account is the current limit.

With the expansion, is this going to be increased? Not a common situation, I’m betting, but I don’t think I should have to delete any of my characters in order to play this new class…..

Perhaps, a heavily-discounted new account could be in order. It may be a long-shot that the 64-character slot limit would be increased.

Good luck.

Turn some of your in game gold into gems to get a character slot for free?

The way I read the OP, they already have 64 filled character slots, which is the limit. No amount of gems will buy you a 65th.

Okay. I thought me having around 18 chars was a lot.. People actually have maxed out character slots? 64 is the cap? Those things cost 800 gems PER SLOT. Just. Wow.

They might do what they did in Guild Wars 1. At the start of a new campaign there is a panel where you have new character slots to make the new professions for that campaign. They could do something like that. After that, they could have all the characters in the character select screen, or they could have two panels. One for the old chars and one the new and you click on the panel to open it up.

Considering that the base character slots is 5/account (which is an intentional money grab), it’s hard for me to believe that they will give you an additional character slot for free.

All the Guild Wars 1 campaigns came with character slots.

But did the expansion? Campaigns were stand-alone; expansions are not.

Still, we might see a free character slot, though that has nothing to do with the OP’s concern over raising the character slot limit.

There was only one true expansion. It didn’t have a free character slot but it also did not come with any new professions.

Just because the character slot limit is currently fixed at 64 doesn’t mean that they won’t raise it to a higher number.

Why would they raise it any higher? I mean, even if you use a different character each day, it’ll take you 2 months to play the same character twice, longer if you dont constantly play. I honestly doubt they’d raise it any higher. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if the average number of character slots across all accounts is 10-15, if even that much.

Frankly I’m surprised it’s even that high in the first place.

I’d like to know how many people will have this problem… If it’s a really small percentage it seems unlikely that there will be any changes… 64 characters tho… That’s a bit overkill.

Wow… you used all slots? ArenaNet, give this man/woman a hug now. xD

I hope they give us a slot expansion discount soon, I’d like to buy 3 more.

Give that person a free alt account. Yeesh. I thought I had altoholism, but I stopped at 15 (because of trait redesign). I just.. wow.

For the love of the game, you win, OP.

lol…

The xp weekend brought the level 80 count to 52. I’ll get them all there sooner or later. The nice thing, is I made most of them early enough to be grandfathered into the old trait system. Only about 6 out of 64 are “new” enough to be hobbled by the current trait usage.

But seriously…It’s not like they aren’t using a byte of data to hold the 64 character limit anyways. I have no idea why they used 01000000 instead of 10000000 to represent count. Heck 11111111 please.

If I remember correctly that’s because the ability to buy character slots wasn’t added until after Factions was out, possibly even after Nightfall.

If they raised it to 70. You’ll just ask it to raise again later.

And they are removing the trait system(or rework I think).

I actually have 64 slot myself. I doubt people actually play 64 character anyway. A few of my 80 I use them to store things myself.

If no slot increase is being considered, at least give us the ability to reset classes. Locking out customers because they bought too much from you is kinda silly.
