Guild Wars 2

Ok I have seen someone talking about having more alt characters then 5 something like 64 of them. How would one get that many alts when the game will not allow more then 5. And creating another email account does not work since the serial is bound to the main account email. I am curious. Cause I see no way to get more then 5 names.

People buy character slots from the cash shop.

that accounts for one other name not more then that.

You can buy as many as you want. 800 gems each. Yes, that means someone paid a lot of gems, but they used to only be ~1-2g per 100 gems closer to launch. So those who had quickly broken 100g+ could’ve afforded many many more gems than that would net you now.

Alternatively, they could just be paying $10 for each new character slot.

No, you can buy many many character slots, not just one more. I have 10 slots myself.

You can buy up to a max of 64 character slots per account, as one person discovered to his sorrow.

He wanted 128 characters.

Wow, did not know that.

It must take a lot of sideways scrolling to get to the character you want to play if you get 64 of them! I just have 12 slots right now and it gets hard to track them especially as they are in the order of last logged in, rather than an order I set. I have a guildmate who has 20 characters, most of them actively played and RPd. I boggle at her.

you buy 59 additional characters slots…

@Rune….If you open up the Trading Post/Gem Store, you will find many things for sale, including character slots, bank expansion slots, personal inventory expansion slots, upgrades for your account, etc. Browse through it some time, you might be amazed at what’s on offer! =)
