Guild Wars 2

I have recently bought a character slot, and to my surprise I got 2 instead of 1(perhaps I should mention that I have bought a character slot during beta events). I would like to get more slots in the near future, but I don’t know if it’s “safe” to do so(wouldn’t want to be called an exploiter or something)so I really hope this bug will be fixed(and delete my “illegal” extra slot, fair is fair).

The same thing happened to me. I purchased one character slot using in-game gold (gems) a few minutes ago and received two character slots. I really hope we don’t end up banned for this. <_<

Someone posted this link in a thread on the same subject, over in the account issues forum:

If the “ArenaNetSupportTeam” comment on reddit isn’t official policy, I’d like to know sooner, rather than later.

Well that is good news Raire, thank you!

I actually had the same problem. I did send a bug report but i am afraid to use either of the 2 new slots because i don’t want them to think i am exploiting it.

i agree, i dont want to risk a ban with this
if we are in fact allowed to keep the extras i would like to see something here before i go and use it

I submitted a support ticket 13 hours ago and still haven’t heard back. They’ve really gotten slack on the side of support. It was never this slow with Guild Wars 1.

Well I’ve used one of the 2 character slots (one of them is 100% legit after all, paid for in gems) the other one however is still left unused. I would really appreciate an official response regarding this issue.

‘****** Extra character slots received with a character slot purchase
We are aware of an issue that caused some folks to get extra character slots after making a character slot purchase. We reviewed our options for fixing this, and decided that the best thing to do was to leave them there. If you got a free slot, enjoy!’
