Extra Guild Wars character slots now available
A while ago I mentioned that NCSoft were planning to start selling extra character slots for Guild Wars accounts this summer. Well, they are now available. Apparently to coincide with the Nightfall PvP preview event, the character selection screen now contains a (decidedly overprominent) link to the NCSoft Store, from which you can buy game keys (don’t bother, they’re at the Recommended Ripoff Price, Play have both games for £17.99 [Prophecies is currently £15.99 in their sale]), and the all-important character slots.
The one problem is that you’ll need a PlayNC account to access the store. Before you ask, yes that is different from your Guild Wars account, and yes it is also different from your PlayNC Support account. Surely in the age of streaming game updates directly to players while the game is going on, it is no great expectation that NCSoft could type the few lines of code necessary to link Database A with Database B?
