edit; to add

- empty slot 1

Characters deleted along way to make room for another char – probably dozens

Wow. I’m somewhat amazed that people have more than 1 of each profession and even more so that there are 5, 8, 10 of a single profession.

I’ve been playing a little over 2 months. Just 1 of the following…

Ranger – 80
Guardian – 80
Necro – 36
Elementalist – 5

So far this sure inspires me to level my Revenant from scratch when HoT launches

Amazed how many character some of you have made/playing!

Eight Sylvaris? You got to trim them weeds.

Never understood why people never tried every race

Got 8×80 with a Sylvari Warrior not quite there. 2 Humans, 3 Asura, 2 Charr, and a Norn

Curtis.1562:

66 characters, 65 level 80, 1 ele level 67…on this account anyway.

Alga.6498:

I’ve got 62 (+2slots = 64) characters

1 profesion for 1 build type?

Mostly likely, that was my first idea, to have different weapons builds, armor, stories, for each characters. Now days I am copying NPCs such as Nightmares Sylvaries, Ebon Vanguard warriors etc…

ATM I have 5 level 80s characters

1 Elementalist (Human)
1 Mesmer (Human)
1 Necromancer (Human)
1 Ranger (Sylvari)
1 Warrior (Sylvari)

I’m sorry i’m not here to offend anyone but why on earth would you have more than 3-4 characters? Seems like a HUUGE waste of time… i mean i play since game launch and have 2 characters (warrior and mesmer). Seems like you have too much time i guess. No hate intended

That would be boring to me.

I have one of each class to learn their mechanics to be able to kill them in wvw.
I have 4 thieves because every other class annoys me.
I have one of each race for AP – and I like every race except norn.

And leveling can be fun.

Edit: And it doesn’t take too much time t get a character to 80 – learning how to play them takes a bit though – and I can’t play most of my classes – it’s ok for pve but not pvp/wvw)

Ok, I’ll answer for myself. I’m an old retired guy, starting to get a bit arthritic, and I have all day every day for myself. As an grumpy old guy I have a hard time enjoying modern TV shows (see I’m also a curmudgeon!) and have since retirement migrated my at home sittin’ on my rear time to games. (Games aren’t new to me either – I started my computer gaming hobby on an Apple IIe back in the 70s)

I love leveling new characters and keeping a character true to its past (the original idea of the build at creation). I don’t like to swap specs around. Just a personal preference on my part.

My goal at start was like many, to have one of each class, but as I played with different races I had the desire to fiddle with the racial traits and story lines a bit. So I experimented and played around on new characters. I love that.

X hours spent on one character or spread over 50 is the same amount of time ‘wasted’. This is entertainment and fun pure and simple. It’s non-productive in every other aspect than that of pleasantly wasting time.

Gaming is a fantastically economical hobby. By far the least expensive of any of my other hobbies. Through games I now have good friends all over the planet. It’s not all fighting and pew-pew, it’s socializing with friends.

Well those are my personal reasons for having so many characters.

See you all out there in the game! Have fun!

I have 1 of each profession all level 80’s and all have map completion.
I created them all at launch for a few reasons. First, because I had no idea which profession I would prefer. Second because I also wanted at least one of each race. (1 each of Norn, Charr, Asura, 3 human and 2 Sylvari). Finally, I figure Anet likes to “nerf” stuff, so if they nerf something so much that I no longer like it, I can just change to another profession.

2 lvl 80 eles because i did world completion on first one and decided to make another to do that all again but with a different route in the personal story.

1 lvl 80 thief b/c she is super good at getting tags for events where my ‘support’ eles always had troubles with since neither do much burst dps that is required to get credit/loots.

And then rest are all low level alts. I plan to play them one day however they are all filled with the ascended mats (blood stone/dragonite/emp frags) which I plan to eventually use to level up the rest of the crafting proffs since it is the cheapest way to go 450-475.

Really really REALLY wish those three materials get moved to the currency page. This is clogging up my alt’s inventories big time so I can’t play them. At least bandit thingies got moved, that freed up a bit of space though.

Aiming for 30, got 26 now.
One for each race, gender and armor class combination. I am missing 3 Norns (male heavy, male medium and female light) and one Sylvari (male light).

I got at one ranger per race, the other classes are evenly distributed.

i had a level 80 mesmer and a 50 necro way back, but i deleted them because the classes are just no fun.

Different strokes for different folks. I don’t particularly like WvW. Others would be the opposite. Asking a question like you have is incredibly closed-minded and ignorant. It’s called diversity.

For me it all mainly boils down to playing dressup. At the moment I have 40 perma characters (the others are nameholders or keyfarmers), and though I don’t roleplay it’s got a lot to do with their personalities as to what armor I put them in.

I also enjoy leveling them with different playstyles and builds. Plus I enjoy doing world completion (though that Ash Legion heart never fails to kitten me off), which is handy considering I have planned out to make every legendary and Mystic Forge weapon – including the ones that will come out with HoT.

Umm, doesn’t this kinda scream “hey hackers, my account is a real good target”?
Just saying I hope you change your passwords often.

As if my account is only protected by a password. Besides, you’d still have to connect a forum name to a login name as well. And lastly, just because people have that many characters doesn’t mean they also have a lot of gold….

Hah, same. I’m only just now starting to think I’m getting close to having enough for the number of characters I have.

spread out across 3 accounts, I have 19 level 80s. Two of most classes, three guards, necros and warriors.

I also have 2 level 20 keyfarmer/name saver characters, I don’t really count them though

I will answer your question.

My main reason for having more than 3-4 chars is that I don’t want to carry around 3 to 4 equipments when doing different modes of the game. I have a guardian just for WvW. I have a few characters just to dungeons. I have one specially for Fractals and PVE and Main events. I have one mesmer as a JP portal service (& I don’t ask for tips, only hugs.). I have an Asuran warrior, because I like how the asuran hold the greatsword. I have a sPvP only char. And the rest is because I am trying to get more chest from the World Boss rotation and also get champs bag in the process.

one of every class, all level 80. See no reason to have any more than one of each.

I have 2 more slot left, and 1 extra will also be added after HoT launch as GW2 veteran.
