So how many characters do you have?
If I see some cool armor that I like, I’d make a character just so I have a character who can wear it. Same goes with the legendaries. I liked the Flameseeker Prophecies but didn’t have any toon who could wield a shield, so I made a Guardian.
Right now, I’ve got 5 toons. Might be making a 6th soon. Just waiting for the character slot discount to come by, and then I can make one to wear the Aetherblade light armor.
By weeks end I’ll be at 8-80’s, just a little left to go. Have all classes, all races, the three story factions and master crafter.
I have two level 80s, Ranger and Thief, and 3 lvl 25-50 alts.
I am not really alt guy, nor I have kittenloads of free time as you folks have, so 2 lvl 80 mains are enough for me.

pssst… Red, it’s really not that hard to level in this game compared to other mmo’s Yes, the first is a pain, but by the second or third you run in rare gear and at the right places, very fast levleing.
I have a lot of characters. I was going to list them all here, but I’m too lazy to write them all down. My mains are:
Sylvari Mesmer for dungeons
Sylvari Ranger for open world
Human Necro for farming and open world
Human Engineer for PvP/WvW
Norn Guardian, another dungeon main
The only characters I’ve yet to get to max level are thieves and eles (and I’m working on at least one of each).
My first character was a Necromancer Human and I made with her the 100% map and lv 36 FotM. Then I created a Guardian Human that currently became a “male” (i’m a girl) because I wanted a big human aggressive male char and norn didn’t fit the aesthetic I wanted. Then I have an Elementalist Sylvari that is super adorable, a Ranger Human with sword and warhorn that hits very bad, a Mesmer Asura superpink and Warrior Human I use mostly for Arah and other dungeons.
I don’t like very much norn and charr character, I think I’ll made Engineer Charr when I’ll be very bored >o<
7 characters:
Asura Engineer 80
Sylvari Ranger 73
Sylvari Mesmer 53
Human Necro 47
Human Guardian 45
Human Warrior 13
Asura Ele 13
Engineer is my most favoritist love, so 85% of my time is spent with her. But I clearly have an altoholic streak in me, so every other month I get itchy to try something new and spend time with another profession. I love creating characters.
I’ve deleted probably 10 characters, either lvl 1 placeholders or lvl 20s with models I didn’t like or professions I trashed to try another one. I plan on eventually buying 1 more slot for a thief to complete my set.

I got 42 characters in total.
7 of them are level 80.
(edited by Alga.6498)
Four months ago I apparently had 30. As of yesterday I have 38. Ten or eleven at 80.
Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?
11 total:
8 on 80 (one per job).
Two more Mesmers to park in difficult or long JPs because I love to port people that have problems there.
The last one is retired and parked at a chest atm since I exclusively play that char with a friend who is currently inactive.
I have 18. Four humans (warrior, guardian, ranger, mesmer), for norn (warrior, ranger, thief, mesmer), four sylvari (warrior, thief, ranger, elementalist), three asura (guardian, ranger, necromancer), and three charr (warrior, engineer, elementalist).
All but the human warrior and sylvari ranger are level 80.
9 level 80s.
I WvW with 8 of them regularly.. i can’t stand the Engineer.
I’ve given up on the idea of ascended armour – it would take me a literal lifetime to gear up my characters – it was implemented in a really poor manner imo.
I’m sure it’s no issue if you only have 1 character.
80 Ranger (3), 80 Warrior (3), 80 Thief (3)
80 Ele (2), 80 Engi (3), 80 Rev (2)
Sylvari Thief: Wolfdoggie
Sylvari Ranger: Wolf Doggie
Charr Engineer: Puppy Doggie
Sylvari Guardian: Spirit Doggie
Asura Elementalist: Rain Doggie
Human Mesmer: Phantom Doggie
Sylvari Necromancer: Demon Doggie
Human Warrior: Riou Genkaku Tenkai
My Warrior is the combo breaker.
Gotta dedicate something to the worlds greatest RPG hero though.
Thief, Necro, Warrior, Ranger and Guardian are my current 80s. The others eventually.
(edited by Doggie.3184)
I have five. The fifth slot has been a revolving door for some time.
The four mainstays are 80s:
Asuran Engineer, Cheeze Toastie (first character ever created, rubbish at playing it but can never delete it. She even has her own song :/)
Sylvari Ranger, Penrhyndeudraeth (known as Penhydrant by my husband)
Sylvari Warrior, Talysarn
Sylvari Mesmer, Geirionydd (this one may be my main, certainly is this month).
The fifth slot is currently occupied by a Sylvari Elementalist, Elidir Fawr. He is not lvl 80.
Sylvari names are chosen by looking at a map of North Wales and hoping for the best. It usually means no one else has them.
I’ve previously had a lvl 80 Sylvari Thief and lvl 80 Human Elementalist, and myriad other lower level mistakes, but I deleted them to make new chars.
I have chucked odd bits of cash for gems for transmutes and hair changes, but have never wanted another character slot. If I end up enjoying the elementalist this time around, I may have to look into that!
I have 8.
One of each profession. I may make more, but I’m not done with these yet.
9×80. One of each plus the cutest Asura warrior in the world.
16 characters, three at lvl 80 and the rest are all over the place.
Btw there is now a character cap at 64 on that wiki page you linked.

I have 7 characters.
I have deleted quite a few and the biggest regret I have is deleting my 63 sylvari mesmer in a fit of rage.
My first character- made in bWE2
Diamond Mask, human mesmer-80.
played her exclusively until about Jan last year.
Isabella Katerina -human engineer -80.
the complete opposite of my very elegant, reserved and shy Diamond Mask
Crowgirl- sylvari ranger with her raven pet Boo.- 80
she has wanderlust has a white kitten to keep her company in lonely places
Elisa the Red- sylvari necro- 80
my newest 80 and I am a little in love with her deadly beauty
she is an absolute joy to play.
Moonmirror Magic- sylvari mesmer- 68 ish
she is tiny and deadly and very fey
Zian Zy- sylvari elementalist- 42
She is very airy and carefree and I went for a kind of wood nymph vibe with her- remains to see if i can pull it off since this is the class that gives me the most trouble- I just cannot find my groove.
Gwyneth the White- human guardian- 17
my latest experiment in my revolving slot- tried guardian 3 times before so I will see how my take on a spell caster guardian pans out
5 that I play, 1 of each race (don’t see the point in more than that) and 5 “mules” I intended to play more toons, but then didn’t, so have 5 with the bags filled to rim with stuff I collected. 1 placeholder char holding a name in case tengu becomes playable. And 1 empty slot.
I have 7 toons but only play my main asura ele now.
Asura ele – 80 main and the only one getting ascended armor.
Norn guardian – 80
Sylvari thief – 80
Asura Necro – 80
Human Mesmer – 80
Asura Engineer -65
Norn Ranger – 20 this slot has been a revolving door for a while.
80 sylvari thief
80 slyvari mesmer
80 human warrior
80 human necromancer
80 norn guardian
69 human elementalist
35 asura engineer
I have 16 characters, all lvl 80. They all got their skins, but I still need to transmute the right stats on some of them.
In order:
Sylvari Elementalist
Human Necro
Human Necro
Human Ranger
Human Guardian
Human Mesmer
Human Ranger
human Warrior
Sylvari Engineer
Human Elementalist
Asura Warrior
Asura Guardian
Asura elementalist
Asura Thief
Asura Mesmer
Asura Engineer
~Sincerely, Scissors
I have 1 character, a human ranger. Been playing from the start with around 1800 hours played in total. I have had other characters, but i deleted them because i didn’t like the class or race.
80 norn female ranger (main, continuation of GW1 main)
80 norn female necromancer
37 asura male engineer (currently being leveled)
36 human female mesmer
21 human male elementalist
As you can see, I’m not big on alts. 90% of my play-time is with my ranger.
So, update for me. I bought the 4 additional char slots I wanted on my 2 accounts over the weekend. I now have 2 of every class. grins wildly
Level frenzy time!
Disclaimer: Yes, I am well aware that I am broken. Please do not try to fix me, it will only result in you getting hurt, and I really don’t want that.

Go for it!
I broke down and bought another character slot (character #46) and told myself it would be my absolute last one. That was, of course, after I said I’d stop leveling alts when I got #18 to 80.
I’m at 21 level 80’s now. >.<
I’m finding at some point in every MMO that I play, that the game gets stale pretty quickly and I end up just rolling alts for “endgame”. GW2 is no different, although I do have a “main” (for WvW) now that ascended gear is in.
Is it wrong that I’m hoping for a new race or a new profession?
8 characters, all level 80, of one each profession.
(from left to right: Engi, Ele, Necro, Ranger, Thief, Warrior, Mesmer, Guardian)
Plays every class though :>

Too many guardians.
11, wanted one of each prof. then need one in la to do all tp. 2 more for additional storage. all 80 except the tp toon.
80 sylvari ranger (played since pre-launch, first main)
80 norn guardian
80 human thief (loved it, became my main)
80 norn elementalist (leveled this one couple of weeks ago, I so love him, may be my newest main xD)
36 charr necro – I may continue to level him up someday, but may also delete, will see.
to add to all of this, ranger and thief got 100% map completion (may eventually do it on my ele too), all crafting disciplines leveled up to 400, weaponsmith and tailor up to 500.
I have 1 of each profession and across them have all races. But, out of those character I have 4 that I have maxed to 80 and play on a regular basis, they are:
Thief (human) – This is my main and the char I play 60-80% of the time.
Guardian (human) – My second most played character along with the next.
Engineer (asura) – Joint second most play character.
Necromancer (human, I like human characters if you hadn’t noticed) – Played regularly, but not as much as the others above.
I also play an Elementalist (level 31) and Mesmer (level 51) occasionally. My Warrior and Ranger do not see much action, but I may level them up at some point later.
Since others have montaged their characters, here are all mine (80 all of them).
Psi Knight Brindis, Guardian. Based on a character I played in RIFTS pen n paper RPG.
Manya Ivanova, Warrior. Based on a character I started on APB: Reloaded.
Solissa Starwood, Ranger. Started on GW2, has passed into offline Cyberpunk RPG.
Deanna Raevon, Necromancer. Based on offline Top Secret: SI RPG character.
Adria Zanotti, Engineer. Started on GW2, has passed into offline Cyberpunk RPG.
Rhubey, Elementalist. Rhubey short for Rhubarb, I like the rhubarb-on-fire pun.
Spachiana, Mesmer. Based on Echinopsis Spachiana, a cactus with hallucinogenic properties.
Leveillei, Thief. Named after Anemone Leveillei, a type of plant.
Vittai, Warrior. Cutest Asura ever, Vittai name based on Vitality/Vitae. I think it fits.
I’m always tempted to have 8 human females, one human male and then one male and female of each race :P
Nah, I’m actually keeping at around 9.
Humans 3
Main (ranger male) + Wife (ele) + Daughter (engi)
Asuras 2
Ex-Krewe Researcher (warrior male) + Ex-Peacemaker (thief female)
Both joined in the cause of using Inquest research results in exchange for wrecking Inquest methods. In their minds they can destroy the means, but might as well use the ends for good.
Norn 1
Guardian female with no story as of yet
Charr 1
Mesmer male with no story as of yet
Sylvari 1
Necro female who disappoints me with her lack of funny minion death dialogues
And finally:
1 wildcard slot:
For popping into the char creation screen whenever I want
1 extra ranger slot
I use two ranger builds in PvP and I like to use them both depending on my mood
Human Guardian (80)
Human Mesmer (80)
Sylvari Ranger (80)
Sylvari Thief (80)
Asura Engineer (80)
Asura Elementalist (80)
Charr Necromancer (80)
Norn Warrior (80)
Fojja – Vyxxi – Nymmra – Mymmra – Champion of Dwayna .. and more

11. I would have 13 if ArenaNet would put character slots on sale for the New Year. They should be; new year, new character, fresh start…it makes sense.

Three. An elementalist, a guardian and a mesmer.
Plus a bunch of name holder toons that I haven’t leveled yet. Love playing my elementalist too much
Only one.
I’ve deleted a handful in the past, including my prerelease character. No intention of making any more until either new races, classes or skills are made available.
So many alts some of you have!
I have 10 character slots. All 8 classes at level 80. All races. 2 spare slots waiting on new races or something.
I have 2, 1 male theif and 1 female theif. Both Human. I like thieves!

Well, I’m up to 20 characters now…. with plans for 3 more. I think I might reign it in at that point though…
Until we get a new race.. then I’ll need 2 more slots. I think it’s pretty much certain that we will get a new race eventually.
I’m hoping that they don’t do any more professions. They already have balance issues with the core 8 (something carried over from GW1 it seems) and I would prefer they focus on just adjusting those, then focus on new skills and weapons and keeping those in balance. Just my 2c though.
Hahah got my 1st birthday gift from my 3rd chara yesterday, I if’d and ah’d about getting another chara slot. I held off.
Today, 25% off chara slots! Boy am I glad I waited
15 chars made so far, 25 more to go. yes, i have written one char for each profession per race
so far, i’ve got all my sylvari done, 3 of the humans, 2 of the norn, 1 of the asura and 1 of the charr
just 2 of those are at 80, two at 21, the rest at 20
