Guild Wars 2

It’s currently marginally cheaper to buy a new copy of the game for USD$40 (converts to roughly NZD$48) than to buy 5 character slots (which would cost me NZD$50) and I have the option of picking a different home world, which is nice.

Anyway I’m wondering if I’m able to link accounts somehow like how my GW account is linked to my GW2 account.

Also, have people just bought character slots or a new copy of the game? I have 6 character slots on my current account but one is for storage since it’s cheaper to deck out a mule with 20 slot bags than buy a new bank tab.

EDIT: Not keen on farming CoF for enough gold to buy new character slots so gold > gem is not an option for me.

To your first question about linking Gw1 to GW2 you can only do that once. One GW1 account to one GW2 account. I have bought character slots (i have 7 right now) but not a new copy of the game.

There is no way to link accounts.

You could create a private guild for the two accounts so they can share a bank, but that won’t work if they’re on different worlds because each world has a seperate copy of the guild bank.

Alternatively you can mail items from one account to the other.

In answer to your question I bought an extra character slot, but then I only wanted one more. I will probably buy extra bank tabs at some point and when I do I will probably buy the gems with real money because at the moment that’s the best option for me.
