Hi Everyone!
It's so nice to meet you all! I am brand new to MMO's and Guild Wars 2.
I was able to play GW2 during the Trial Weekend thanks to a kind soul on Facebook (Thank You!) and I was hooked! I bought the game during the Black Friday sale and have been playing every day since! LOL! This game is stunning. The graphics are beautiful! And the game is filled full of nice people!
   I am very much enjoying playing the game. It's kinda addicting. Such a nice escape when you have a bit of time. I am still trying to figure out how all the controls work and such.
I bought the game guide which is helping a lot.
   My main character is a Mesmer named Orreeo (If they offer name changes in the future I am so changing the name - I had no idea what I was doing when I created her. I was just thinking of the new Oreo Cake Cookies! LOL!). I also had no idea that playing a Mesmer was one of the hardest professions to master. But that sounds like me. When I do something, I usually dive right in!  
  I am loving the challenge of the profession and the game and am looking forward to making many more friends in-game and having many adventures together! So happy to have found the game and this forum!

Welcome Kelland.  I'll be your tour guide here in the forums, just stick with me and don't talk to creepers.

Welcome!

[Kelland]

LOL! Yea, actually I am new to forums as well. I mean I've used Yahoo groups before, but I've never participated in a forum before well...because I didn't need/want to I guess, so I'm trying to figure out how they work too.
I was walking along in Kessex Hills (I think), last night and some nice lady saved my life while I was being attacked by an ostrich-bird type thing. She said she was there to observe the scenery for a fan-art-pic she was working on and was going to post here when it was done. She said this was a GREAT forum to participate in. So now I'm here and scoping things out!
Thank you for welcoming me! :-)

ROFL! You guys are hilarious. Ok, I'm friending all of you as I can already tell my "quality of life in-game" will be significantly enhanced and as a newbie yea....I need all the enhancing I can get! LOL!
Thank you for giving me such a warm welcome!
(May you all reap heaps of Karma both in game and out for your kindness!)

Welcome Kelland! Please enjoy your stay. Arenanet has an amazing team on GW2 that pays extra attention to detail so there is much much more to see. If they follow what they did in GW1 this game has a promising future.

I see that you are with a guild so odds are you are receiving some support from them, and I am not sure how high in levels you are right now, but if you need a set of 10 (or 12) slot bags then let me know and I'll gladly provide them to make your inventory management a bit easier.  Same goes for anyone else who's new to the game and may be reading this now (yes, that means you unregistered visitor! ).

[Kelland]

You've hit on a key point I've wondered about. I have the starter backpack and 3 brown 4-slot-bags that are active and hold stuff and another brown 4-slot-bag in my inventory that I don't know what to do with and can't use. I've tried to sell the extra bag, but can't. Can I give it away or do I have to destroy it?
I heard they made bigger bags and chests but I wasn't sure how you get them.
And if I got a bigger bag, what do I do with the 4 slot ones?
(Appreciate any advise on the matter.)
(Should this post go on a different thread? If so let me know).

[Apticus]

You can just throw away the smaller bags.  You can either make new bags yourself via crafting, but it's easier just to buy bigger bags via the trading post (hit the 'O' key)

[Rishy]

You can always store stuff that you don't feel like selling or destroying in your bank, which is accessed via crafting stations or in main cities, flagged by either a 'bag of gold' icon or crafting icon (eg. jewelcrafting stations are indicated by a gem icon) on the mini map.

Bigger bags become available from NPC vendors as you naturally progress through the game, are available on the trading post or you can pick a crafting profession that is related towards armor creation and they provide the option to create bags of bigger sizes as you increase your crafting level.

Once you obtain bags of bigger sizes and find yourself replacing your existing ones, you can send those smaller bags to your alternate characters to make the early leveling process for them much more comfortable.

P.S. Belated welcome to the Ehmry community!

The little bags are basically useless.  You may be able to vendor the ones that you looted for a few copper, the starter one can only be destroyed.  I'll mail you some larger bags, Kelland is your character name as well?

[Siiddhartha]

I need 4 more 20-slot bags.  In game name the same as the forums, thanks.

Who doesn't.  If I'd get 4 free 20 slot bags I'd buy the inventory slots to put them into.
