Spontaneous Monotony

Guild Wars has been a huge success since its release – with the lack of monthly fee and great gameplay. The one thing that people were not pleased with was the limit on character slots; sure, the limit was necessary to make the game profitable, but many people stated that, if there was a way to buy extra character slots they would take advantage of it. I think you know where I’m going with this.

Beginning ‘this summer’ (no word on a specific date yet), players will be able to add extra slots to their account for £5.99 (or €8.99, $9.99) each – up to a maximum of 32 characters per account. This is in addition to any extra slots players get from purchasing the add-on campaigns (for example, people who combine a Factions key with their existing account get an additional two).
