Guild Wars 2

I’m a veteran player with the maximum amount of character slots currently available(64). Will the bonus character slot from the deluxe/ultimate pre-purchase still apply? I.E., will I be able to have 65 characters?

It seems others did for beta-purposes only. Now, for the regular game/expansion? You might want to submit a request to the CS Team using the ‘Support’ link above/below, if you want an individualized response.

Good luck.

Doubtful, maximum is maximum.

64 Characters??

I think I’m impressed..!!!!!!

SIXTY
FOUR
CHUFFING

Don’t know whether to be impressed or sympathetic!

kitten. Unless Anet has decided that HoT will increase the maximum, I think you are screwed =\

shocking honestly….

If you are using 64 character slots, you should get a plaque, not another slot.

64 slots, all lvl 80’s, geared up? OMG! You really need to consider going out more.

All with 100% world completion, of course, eh? lol

It takes less than a week of playing casually to level someone to 80, a small amount of gold to gear them in exotics. It’s been 3 years already.

Why are you people so surprised?

playing casually took me 6 months to level up two chars three years i got one of each profession and an extra mesmer to boot. id say he was bit more hardcore then me

I also have max slots and pre purchased the game, and I’m not sure if it is due to the max slots or not, but my account is having trouble ‘applying’ the new expansion to it, so I have been unable to get any of the other in-game items.. I’m afraid for it actually being that the extra character slot I am supposed to get, but cannot receive, is causing the pre purchase to be unable to apply to my account. I’ve submitted a ticket to support, but so far they have been mostly unhelpful..

make a ticket to the support team.
at some point they told us that if any one needs more space they can ask for it and they will give you more

Well, person who doesn’t believe I have max slots, believe it, because I do. And I don’t have 8 of each class, it’s really random numbers of each. And the reason I have so many?? Fashion.. and roleplaying characters I use with my sisters. And because this is the only game I play, and I love making new pretty characters.

On the note about the expanding the slot amount, I’ll have to look into that at some point to see if that is really possible. For now, hopefully they can figure out what is wrong with the HoT pre purchase not wanting to apply to my account.

I have trouble reaching 64 characters on a forum post!

All problems with computer games are first-world problems, pretty much, Dan. So I better never see you complaining about anything with any game! :p

64 80s? Marry me.

Ya, I don’t know if I’m impressed, or if I just feel sorry for you. It’s you time and money but that is just a bit excessive imo.

I have 5244 hours of playtime. At least 1/3 of that is afk time. Some of you act like it’s a lot of work to level a character to 80. It takes 16-20 hours to level a character from 1-80, less if you use tomes or crafting.

Anyway, I’m really just looking for a dev response…so I know which option to prepurchase.

holy cow! yo devs you better take care of your VIPS!

I doubt it. 64 seems like a pretty generous limit. If they up it then they will have to for everyone since it is probably just a binary number keeping track. Adding another place value would make the limit 128.

Bump, also contacted support. Still no reply.

You can’t bump threads I’m afraid. If you have’t heard after 3 days, then you make a thread in the support forum.

Bear in mind hey are going to be swamped after the announcement yesterday

65? 65?
I thought I had a lot with 17 (9 have both Mapping ans Story completed).
Tips my hat to you.

I got an answer by asking support. In case anyone else was wondering, this is the message I received:

Thank you for contacting Guild Wars 2 Support Team.

If you have already maxed out the amount of character slots permitted you’ll not receive an extra slot ( 65 ). But once you purchase the expansion you can contact us once again and we’ll grant you with 800 Gems.

We hope the information helps, let us know if you have further questions.

Regards,

GM Khal

On another note, this means I’ll have to delete one of my 80’s in order to play a revenant…
Could be worse though

They honestly probably never even imagined anyone would actually make 64 slots on one account. That just seems like a whole lot of uneeded characters, but to each their own.

I prepurchased HoT today, and to my surprise, and against what I was told via support, I now have 65 character slots.(1 past the maximum allowed)

I’m contacting support to see if it was intended, but honestly I’d rather I’d get to keep the slot than receive the 800 gem refund from the prepurchase.

Apparently they increased the maximum number of character slots. It’s allowing me to buy more in the gemstore as well.

Well, OP isn’t the only person I’ve heard about with 64 chars. This probably came up enough that increasing the number of slots was a consideration. (Unless it bugged when he bought the expansion and it gave him the extra slots).

Edit: and now OP is on his way to 128 chars! ^^

He’ll need his own server at this rate!

Cool! I stopped buying slots when got to 56 so I had room for current and future expansion slots. Now I don’t have to worry (not that I was…). I have so many more names I want to put faces to.

Why so many slots? Just to feel good or you use all of them?

Mainly I just cycle through them for birthday boosters and daily JP’s.

Hmm. Before seeing your comment about getting a 65th, I was going to post what was said on the list of features I got when I prepurchased yesterday: “Note: You may not receive items for which you’ve already reached the limit.”

Nice to hear that they chose to up the limit, then….. although, like many others, I cannot fathom having that many. My altoholism is worse on this game than any other I’ve played (currently 14, with an eventual goal of 18, 2*profession), but I insist all my characters be for real (even the least played ones – they’re not just for mules or gathering; if I make a character, I want to USE it).

Update: New cap is 66 character slots + 1 beta slot. It only allowed me to buy one more character slot with gems after I got the 65th one from prepurchasing the expansion.

In that case I’ll sit on 56.

Then you kinda screwed yourself again Curtis, cause 66 is 64+2. Pre-purchase deluxe gets 64+2 and you bought 1 got 1, but will fail to get the later ‘bonus compensation for veterans’ slot.

That is assuming a guy like you wouldn’t buy the base version of the game.

Instead of the free character slot, they should have given 800 gems so players could buy the slot themselves if they needed it, if they didn’t needed it they could buy somethging else.

I was just trying to figure out the new max. Evidently they increased it by two(probably for the reasons you mentioned). If I can’t get another one when they give the free veteran character slot then they’ll probably refund me 800 gems. They’re really generous about refunds.

They just added the veteran prepurchase character slot today, pushing the new limit to a maximum of 67 character slots.

kitten. Unless Anet has decided that HoT will increase the maximum, I think you are screwed =\

I thought they already increased it to 66 to cover both the extra slot versions and, later, the one for vets?

It will likely go even higher with the upcoming BWE, as they are giving 4 beta character slots. So, up to 72 now?

Up ! 69 characters slots to day ’with not beta slots.

Update :

06/23/2015 : 2 slots
07/10/2015 : 1 slot
08/01/2015 : 1 slot
08/15/2015 : 1 slot

OMG this thread is hilarious! I’m not even close to hitting the max but I have a list of characters I want to make that go well beyond it. Fantastic news to know the cap is increasing.

Hopefully slots will go on sale during the anniversary. Not only do I want to bring all of my slots up to 9 but buy 6 more so I can have each race with the three armor classes (for some of the collectors achievements it comes in handy). Yes, it will take awhile to level all of those characters but I will have fun doing so. I can not fathom hitting the maximum number of slots though as I would lose track of who ‘specializes’ in what: sending my Guardian to Orr would produce no joy but my warrior loves it there and has to be the only one so far that will turn around and kill an undead rather than running the other way.
