 * SHIT! THIS MEANS NO GWEN UNLESS YOU BUY ONLINE. GODDAMN. &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 14:06, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * But I like buying the physical boxed games. :( In any case, I think I know what my first transaction will be when I open my first bank account for college. :D --Heelz 14:10, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I like physical boxed games too, but I think Frvwfr2's suggestion is a good one, buy a few more character slots. --Rainith 14:47, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Time to buy 3 more characters... I do need a PvE ele... frvwfr2  (talk)(contributions) 14:13, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Well, this is mean. Not only are you forced to buy online, but it's for a limited time only, which means if you don't act fast, this special GW content will be unavailable forever!!! ANet has never done something like that before afaik...old Collector's Edition are available for purchase if you want the /bonus weapons, etc. And - let's say you already own all three campaigns and have like 12 character slots. Then what? If this special deal expires before EotN comes out then I'm screwed. I mean, why would I get 3 more slots...three mules? Three PvP slots? Waste of money... (T/C) 14:54, 5 July 2007 (CDT)


 * It's Nov. 1 - Nov. 30. [[Image:User Frvwfr2 signature.jpg|User:Frvwfr2]] frvwfr2  (talk)(contributions) 14:56, 5 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Okay, good. >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:57, 5 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Re-read that, "The Guild Wars Mission Pack will be made available between November 1 and November 30, 2007 to all accounts that spend $29 USD (€26/£17) or more in the Official Guild Wars (online) Store between 12 p.m. (Noon) PST July 5, 2007 and 12 p.m. (Noon) PST October 31, 2007." You have to buy stuff from the store between noon PST today and noon PST Oct 31st.  Then you can get the missions after Nov. 1st.  Don't buy stuff in November and think that you'll get the bonus missions.  --Rainith 15:25, 5 July 2007 (CDT)


 * D'oh, fine print and bad wording ftl. I guess I'm all set then, just buy EotN. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 15:48, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

well i do hope that this si still available when GWEN comes out. - Skakid9090 15:04, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * This is rather annoying, there is nothing i want in the shop at least from the options that are there atm. I dont have access to purchasing online and i am rather disappointed in how they will deploy this feature. Possibly they could of released this with the Pre-order disk as well. Im just looking at the screenshots on gw.com details page for this. There is nothing in these screenshots that we haven't already seen everywhere else, a very poor selection of screenshots. -- Xeon 15:14, 5 July 2007 (CDT)


 * I think the only limited time aspect of the promotion is the "free if you spend at least $29 in the online store" part. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes available as a regular item in the online store starting in November. -- Gordon Ecker 19:30, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I just hope like hell, Anet will provide some other ways to obtain a key to unlock the content or whatever, ie, like through a magazine offer (like they did with the Asura mini-pet), or ability to buy a "key card" at the local PC shop. Otherwise they disadvantage those who not wish to do a financial transaction with their credit card over the Internet. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 22:16, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Well, I think this is unfair for those who don't have a credit card that can make international transactions. Living in Buenos Aires makes buying from the online store impossible. I'll e-mail ArenaNet and see what they have to say.

Just buy GW:EN.
GWEN comes out August 31st and won't have a Collector's Edition. Just buy that at the store and you'll be all set. ~  Gold  Dean   - 15:27, 5 July 2007 (CDT)


 * You gotta wait 3 months though... I'll just leave it, unless people say it's worth it. [[Image:User Frvwfr2 signature.jpg|User:Frvwfr2]] frvwfr2  (talk)(contributions) 15:29, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * It'll be too late by then for you :p -Kumdori 15:38, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, the release said that as long as the money is spent between now and Halloween, you'll get the bonus pack. ~  Gold [[Image:DeanIcon.png]] Dean   - 16:19, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Ah, okay. So, spend =>$29 Between now and Oct. 31 and it becomes available, but it will be available in November... That's stoopid. frvwfr2  (talk)(contributions) 16:36, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

im pretty sure that it wont b in for stores people, i think its mainly a thing 2 get psyched 4 the gw2.

ALSO, be prepared for more things like this, Anet said that in the pcgamer article that now they dont have their hands fulll with new campaigns, there gonna make new "tricks".

chris of krtya
 * lol chris, I guess they announced that just as they announced DURING THE BWEs that there would be an auction house along with guild storage & guild hall customisation, gg - dont believe ANet, this is just meant for people to buy online b/c it's better profit than through shipping to stores all over the world and for people who never dared to go buy online to do so & eventually end up buying more stuff than what they came there for = marketing Miss Velvetine''  [[Image:Imbue_Health.jpg|25px|(Talk Page)]] 09:09, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

good point

Ok just buy GWEN but did you miss the part where they charge Europeans more then Americans? I can get it shipped from the States for the difference!

Pheronike

And the people that don't have a credit card available to buy it with? And no parents with credit cards?24.132.252.185 06:58, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

TOTALLY UNFAIR AND A RIPOFF.
this sucks for anyone who bought a few char slots literally the day b4 july 5th....now they have to spend another 30 to make A-Nets requirements happy? do people realize that we have the ultimate control on what direction A-Net takes?? if we all send mass emails contesting this (respectfully and intelligently) im 100% sure they might make a change towards the right direction...the only question is how many of you actually have the guts to do this instead of just reading this and nodding up and down... ~sin~
 * Just buy GWEN. ~  Gold [[Image:DeanIcon.png]]<font color=#DDDD00> <font color=#FF9900>Dean   - 01:47, 7 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm pretty sure they intentionally set this promotion up as a reward for when your buy GWEN online. It's because when you buy online and cut out the middleman of stores they save some money.
 * What everyone seems to be overlooking is that they're saying that if you spend money in the store then you get the missions for free. They never said people that didn't buy anything in the store wouldn't have a chance to buy the missions themselves. I'd be really surprised if they didn't put the mission pack in the store for purchase on its own. It's just a bonus for people who are going to be buying from the online store anyway.
 * Per several posts by Gaile, there are no current plans to make the bonus missions available for direct purchase - they're only available as a bonus. I'm sure that will change at some point in the future; but I doubt it would happen until sometime in 2008 at the earliest. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:45, 7 July 2007 (CDT)
