Talk:Character slot

From Guild Wars Wiki

Why the 26 character limit? Is there any possibility of having this raised? I'm sure there at least a few of us who would like more.... - Lord Ehzed 14:50, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Character slots per campain: Actually i think it is countable as 2 character slots per account and 2 per campain. so when you start playing and have one campain you end up with 4. But that is just my speculation... Morgoth Bauglyr 16:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it's still 2 per campaign and counting core as a campaign Sanderevers 16:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

This is, and always has been total BS. Why am i punished for having both campaigns? Just give me 4 for each title, it is absolutely silly that I can get more characters by not linking the campaigns together. What is the goal here? punish people who want to play across multiple campaigns? I just can't believe this policy has continued past the initial launch and am utterly shocked others have not been as outraged by this as I am.
I've played GW for over 3 years and love its business model of releasing independent chapters instead of a reoccurring subscription fee. And found I wind up paying close to the same total amount to the MMO I subscribe to off and on and ANET, but this nickel and dimming me for character slots just really rubs me the wrong way. - AnnoyedFool.

It is pretty annoying tbh. Hope they don't do it in GW2. Lord of all tyria 21:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm , i want atleast 3 more character slots (have 8 now); i can't buy e'm off the online store (have no CC) so is the only thing i can do is buy proph on a new account so i have 4 new slots ? Fenrir dragonbone 08:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I've wanted additional character slots for a while now (three of them), and now that I've finally tried to go through with the whole purchase deal I'm really cheesed off. I can't get them because I don't have a credit card with any of those companies, I always use PayPal for online transactions and I don't understand that that isn't an option here. Is payment with those CCs the only way to purchase additional character slots? ): User:5.185.23.216 04:06, 24 December 2008 (GMT)

So what is the maximum?

Okay so I have 28 character slots on my primary account. What is the overall cap? 26 + 4 fro original campaign + 2 for second campaign + 2 for third campaign = 34. But does the character slot that came with the NF preview get tallied in addition to these, making the cap 35? 24.188.207.20 05:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Your kidding me.... 28 slots?!?! Man I thought I had a lot 13 :( . Why on earth would someone need that many characters? I mostly only use one. Anyway back to the topic lol. When they first came out with selling characters slots when they released factions they first said it would be 32. That's only off of memory. I will try and look for the page I saw it on and post a link later. If I can find it lol, at least before I have to goto work :'(.--The Cyphero 15:22, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I have 35 slots on my account now. Slots still seem to be a selectable option in the in-game store and I'm tempted to try to add another. For those wondering, I've been using character slots to make PVP toons that I've been using as storage mules. Pkohler01 03:24, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

and don't forget the yearly minipets ;) more characters == more pets ---- Alexanderpas Talk|Contrib|Guild 19:04, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Linking the same campaign to a single account twice?

I'm just wondering here, but what happens when you do this? For example, say someone went out and got Nightfall, and created an account using the access key that came with it. Later on, that same person gets a copy of Guild Wars Trilogy, and links the Trilogy access key to their old NF account. Since the Trilogy key contains NF, it would pretty much mean that they're adding the same campaign a second time. Would doing this still get them the two extra character slots that one normally gets when they link a campaign to their account? Or would the account simply not acknowledge the second NF account? --Jack Faros 06:43, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

The only way you could link a campaign to an account that already had that campaign, would be if you bought The Game of the Year Edition (Prophecies) or a Collectors' Edition (Factions and Nightfall) for an account that only had the basic game. Thrain 16:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Max without buying

Wouldn't it be 11? If you buy PvP pack first that's 4, 2 for each other campaign(3) and then 1 from nightfall preview? 4+6+1=11? So if you can buy 26 in the store would that grand total be 37?173.30.126.211 22:48, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
