x2.

A 20 item storage panel or even more space + having another character? Easy choice.

I had the same thought process, characters are better than storage panels, probably buy 4-6 when they go on sale....

Color me disappointed that the Merc slot packs aren't going to be part of this 50% off sale.

I've always regretted rerolling my monk on the 2nd month of when GW first came out. I did it because everywhere I looked I would always see a monk with the Princess Leia buns just like mine. So I deleted her and created another just to look as different as I could from the mold. She will turn 6 soon enough, and another makeover is long overdue, lol.

I absolutely hate using mules, I bought 2 panels. It was an easy choice.

Yay, consumerism. Micro-transactions rule.

Kojima · May 13, 2011, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Buying the make over pack and the character slots. That will be it for main acct.
But buying an alt acct. So having the EOTN on sale sounds good.

Lord Dagon · May 13, 2011, 10:53 AM // 10:53

yea still sad merc packs arent going on sale there is no way in hell that im going to pay $45 jsut got get teh heros that i want. if they had gone on 50% off sale like the rest of them i would have bought them. but at $45 no. i could buy 2~3 new and exciting games for that price, and not invest it in a game that might have its sequel in around a year.

So im disapointed by the sales.. tho i did think aobut get storadge panes i ended up not doing it. oh well anet doesnt like me :P

Mokeiro · May 13, 2011, 12:29 PM // 12:29

I'll go for makeover and a couple slots.

Dewshine Wildclaw · May 13, 2011, 01:05 PM // 13:05

Im not going for any of those lol
storage panes: already had as many as Im allowed.
bonus mission pack: already have it (although never completed any besides the gwen one)
makeover pack: bought one when they were new, happy with how all my chars look now.
eye of the north: already have it and have no intrest in having an extra account.
char slot: already have 10, so 1 for each profession in the game so Im good.

And then ofc. Im going through a tough time economicly, so even if I did need/want any of those I would not buy and just be sad that even with it on sale I can't really afford it xD

but if I didn't already have my needs for these items satisfied and I did have the money to spare.... yes... yes I would quite possibly buy at least some of those things.

i wonder if they'll post any stats or any feedback after this half off thing ends...i'm curious if they're getting a massive spike in sales.

i know i, personally, wouldn't even entertain the thought of purchasing these items at "normal" pricing, but with "50%" off they're slightly more appealing...still overpriced but at least i'll look at them.

esthetic · May 13, 2011, 03:32 PM // 15:32

Max Char Slots allowed: 25, just if your wondering how many char slots you can buy.

That's actually my position, minus the thought that they are overpriced. I can't see a reason for them to post business stats since they are privately held, but I think they're getting decent revenue from these sales like any retail business would.

I don't think that things are overpriced, though. I work in the technology business, and one that's based on transactions that are even more micro than ANet's (as in ... billions per month), and I'm sure they're trying to monetize GW1 as much as they can to support R&D on GW2. That's how this business works. I respect that, and don't think they're offering a bad value for the money.
