Guild Wars 2

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before.
I’ve tried the search function but it has only led me to the GW2 pre-purchase community address post.
Just to clarify –
If players whom have had the game since the release date (before January 23rd, 2015) were to purchase the Ultimate Edition. Are they immediately given 2 additional character slots?

Thank you for your response and time.

Yes and no…

Yes, if you purchased the core game before January 23rd, 2015 (and you purchase the deluxe or ultimate edition) You will get one character slot included in the bundle, plus an additional slot for being a veteran player.

No, you will not get both immediately. The one included in the bundle will be applied immediately, however, they do not yet have a method to give the additional character slot to veteran accounts yet. Once that is figured out you should receive your second character slot.

Purchased the original game or the HOT pre-purchase? As far as I know the HOT pre-purchase wasn’t available until fairly recently.

Purchased the original game before January 23rd.

If you purchased the original game after January 23rd but before the Heart of Thorns pre-purchase went up, then you can instead get what you paid for it deducted from your purchase price for Heart of Thorns. Since that purchase price is going to be at least $10, with the game not being sold for less than that, you’ll be able to use those savings to get your character slot anyway if you want.

The core game, I also edited my post for clarification.
