Guild Wars 2

Some days ago i bought a single (800) character slot fom the gem store, got it enabled and logged out to make my new Guardian.

My surprise was when I saw I had 9 active character slots, when I only bought one. I was puzzled and submitted a ticket and a tweet about it, but I’ve yet to see mention of it again.

From what I can think of, in Beta Weekend Events where gems were being tested I bought 3 extra slots. When Headstart came, I only had 5 character slots. But when I bought an extra one, all the others were activated again.

I refrained from making more than one character (the one I paid for), but the slots are still there.

From multiple threads on reddit, they’ve responded that it is yours to keep. I’m looking up the post right now.

EDIT: Yep! Here you go

Mmm thanks.

I guess I’ll pay them back with dye packs and chef outfits <3

Oh, this is good to know – since the same thing happened to me. Wouldn’t mind seeing some confirmation here, before “occupying” them, though.

So glad I found this. I’ve been waiting to use those slots. Still a little nervous, but excited and thankful. <3 Anet.

I bought 3 extra character slots at the launch day & pre-made all the characters so I can play all the professions later on. I just wish I was allowed to log back into my account so I can see if I also received this complimentary bonus and you know… actually play the game?

I bought a character slot using Gems and also got an extra character slot. I sent a support ticket straight away.

I have just read the Reddit post that says we get to keep it, that is awesome news Anet and a great gesture. I’m still a little nervous about using it, so I’ll wait for some official word in the forum. Thanks again.

Hah.. if only I’d put up some gems for a character slot, but I’m too busy buying bank tabs and bag slots. If only it happened there too. I kid of course.

You people who got extra slots are lucky!
I bought two yesterday and only received one

Also bought Dye packs and received none of them.
Guess the store is bugged or something…

Got the same “problem”, and don’t know what to do >_>
I like making alt, and it’s a real torture to see those slots empty, but I don’t wanna be banned for using them.

I’d like to see an official answer here, just to be sure
