I write this knowing that I’m about to talk about the highest of First World problems, but I’d still like to ask ArenaNet if it would be possible to merge together two Guild Wars 2 accounts.
Originally, back when Guild Wars 2 was weeks/months away from its first Beta Weekend event, and they had begun taking pre-orders, players over at the GuildWars2Guru forums had been predicting the character limit that would be present in Guild Wars 2. Many, myself being one of them, had speculated that the game would limit the amount of characters a player would be able to create. I think most people were betting on 10 characters being the total you could have on a single account. It was because of this prediction that I had decided on buying two Guild Wars 2 accounts before launch. I had the idea of playing on both accounts equally, however the game began to change. With the addition of the Living Story (with it’s own set of Achievement tracks), Ascended gear and 500 crafting, and now the new Wardrobe system, the amount of time investments needed for two accounts is something I really don’t have the ability to do it all twice.
I know, it’s my own fault for not waiting on Guild Wars 2 to come out in order to see how many characters a person can have on an account. That max is 64 for those wondering. I shouldn’t have jumped the gun like that. I also know that I can always delete those characters, and remake them on my main account a day or so later with their names. However, I have already invested enough time and gems (bought with my own money) on some of those characters that I would rather not see it all go to waste.
I honestly don’t care about the account itself, what I care about are the characters. If combining the accounts isn’t plausible, and I would say it wouldn’t be fair given the fact that I’ve unlocked the same achievements/daily/monthly on both accounts. Meaning I would get double the Achievement points in some instances. I just want the characters on my second account to get transferred over to my main account. I don’t mind losing the karma/tokens/achievement points that would be tied to that other account. I think that’s a fair loss considering I put myself in this predicament.
So, can this be done?
TLDR: I’m dumb and impatient, so I bought two Guild Wars 2 accounts before launch. Now with all of the account-based progression the game has, I don’t want to/have the time to do everything twice in order to have all of my characters decked out in awesomeness. I know this is a bit of a douchy request, but I’d still like some help on the matter.
