It takes no effort to delete a PvP character and make a totally different one, and there's really not much reason to go through the PvE game more than once. It's not really a game lends itself to alts.

Title: Re: Additional character slots this Summer for $9.99 US (or equivalent) Post by: Trippy on April 23, 2006, 09:00:12 PM How many characters can you have as standard? The simplified answer is 4 or 6. Here's the more complicated answer from the Factions FAQ:Quote Will there be additional character slots on my existing account, if I purchase Guild Wars Factions? The Factions "campaign" is a stand alone game (sort of like how CoV works) which is why there's this slot distinction.A Factions account offers 4 slots that provide access to the Cantha only, just as Guild Wars (the original Prophecies campaign) offers 4 slots for access to Tyria. If you choose to link your Prophecies and Factions accounts, you will have a total of 6 character slots, and all characters will be able to access to all areas of the map.

It takes no effort to delete a PvP character and make a totally different one, and there's really not much reason to go through the PvE game more than once. It's not really a game lends itself to alts. It's not for PvP chars. If this had been available last summer, I would have bought a couple slots. And if factions get me interested, I still may. For a game with no subs and if you like to play the PvE, its a great deal. Just think about how little you get in MTGO for 10 dollars.(crap, how did I miss this thread all weekend) Title: Re: Additional character slots this Summer for $9.99 US (or equivalent) Post by: Llava on April 24, 2006, 06:33:29 PM But even then, you get 3 slots for RP characters and one for PvP. That leaves you able to explore every profession in the PvE game, if you appropriately select primaries and secondaries.
Is there really a demand to play through the PvE that much? I never noticed it. I certainly could be wrong, though. Title: Re: Additional character slots this Summer for $9.99 US (or equivalent) Post by: tazelbain on April 24, 2006, 08:42:25 PM I know what you're saying. The PvE is not for people like us. But kids without credit cards lap this shit up.
Hardcore guilds change builds constantly. They'll want a bunch slots to make it easier. SO, disregard my statments to the contrary in my last post. If I get back into game, I'd grab a few extra slots to put a few builds I use often. It's a convenience thing, not needed. |
