Five years later and this is still a kittening annoying problem.

Hi, I just recently got back into the game and haven't been all that updated with the news, but there's something that I have been hoping for for a few years now. Will we ever get to 90 character slots? AFAIK the limit is 70 (or 71 with specific conditions I forgot about) which doesn't allow me (and maybe some other people of the same mind) to create one character for every race, profession, and gender combination. I would need 90 character slots for that. I know people have mentioned that I could always create another account and get the remaining characters on there, but I'd really like it to be on one account. I'd rather not grind on a new account just for that reason.

International Laws. That's why. To make it available to everyone they would literally have to design a contest that abides all known (and unknown) countries and their laws. Good luck with that. Edit: And if it is worldwide, you know how abysmal those odds would be? Far worse than the original Halloween skin giveaways (back before the destruction of LA). To want that is almost as bad as having them removed because of a 'if you can't have them, no one will' mentality. Then why not give everyone the opportunity to just earn the outfit in another way which doesn't have to be a contest with odds? Something where just simply joining will net the outfit. This is the second time people have been upset about the outfit being only available to players in the US.

It's obvious that people just want a chance to get the Dragon Emblem outfit and don't really care much for the other prizes, even the cash prizes, so I'm wondering why ANet won't just have an event where EVERYONE can have the opportunity to earn the outfit regardless of what region they're from.

I just have one question which I haven't gotten a good answer to (Or maybe someone actually did but I may have missed it) Why won't ANet allow people outside of the US to get a chance to earn the Dragon Emblem outfit?

AFAIK this is the second promotion where the Dragon Emblem outfit has been gated. It's just an outfit, why does it have to be gated? It would be understandable if people couldn't get it if they failed to participate in the event or promotion but the fact that people can't get it just because they don't live in the US is ridiculous. And many people understand why prizes involving cash would be US only, but it's an in-game outfit that, as far as I know, ANet completely owns.

I started having this problem earlier. I logged out of the game but instead of just shutting down it just froze and was not responding. When I opened the client again it shows the error and says the data archive needs to be repaired. I allowed it to repair but then encountered the same problem after. I do hope this gets resolved as it's tedious having to wait for the game to "repair" itself every time I start it.
