Guild Wars 2

Here’s my (and I guess at least a few other players’) predicament:

This is my main account, I’ve played it since launch. I have 8 characters on it, thus all 8 character slots filled. I have two other accounts as well with 5 characters, and thus all 5 character slots filled.

If I buy the expansion I have to buy an extra character slot to play the Revenant on my main account, or other two accounts (but I most likely won’t buy the expansion immediately there considering the price point).

Total cost to upgrade my main account would be $60 ($50 plus $10 for char slot).

However, since buying the expansion gives me the option of a free account I might as well just make a new account and get more “value” at a lower cost.

What do you suggest I do? On one hand I’d really like to play the revenant on my main account and experience HoT with my favorite chars. On the other hand it’s hard to justify $60 when I can enjoy HoT albeit without my favorite chars for $50.

You won’t get another ‘free account’ with HoT purchase. You can use the Serial Code to upgrade one of your accounts or create a new account. You can not do both.

You might consider exchanging Gold for Gems, or deleting a character, if the cash cost of a new character slot seems excessive.

Good luck.

Edit: Oh, I see you are aware of that. My apologies. I would upgrade my main account, but you will have to choose for yourself. You never know…core game accounts may be discounted again in the future.
