I remember an exactly similar thread. That OP found several Prophecies CE's for sale in a different language and asked the Guru community for the same advice.

Needless to say it made a great opportunity for people to get their hands on a cheap CE.

Oh and in answer to your question: I believe it doesn't matter if the game is from another region. You only need the keycode.

EDIT: Lol @ OP. Read the discription on the Ebay page:

All of the materials inside come in french as that is where I bought the CE, however when I bought it I also bought one for myself and after both personal experience and a letter from ArenaNet, I can confirm it is regional free. the access key can be used on european, american, or any other account.

Last time I saw one of these appear on ebay it went for £400

Even if they reissue the divine aura, the players who bought it originally would still have enjoyed several years of the emote being exclusive, the early ones to get the BMP weren't allowed exclusivity for very long.

He probably has a ridiculously high reserve for it anyway. Wouldn't surprise me.

Post-GWFC GW has been a slap in the face to everyone in the PvP community. It's not a new idea.

I've been playing for 2 years and I've never heard of it, nor never noticed this on characters' hands. Nice. I guess. I'm not paying 400 quid though, that's for sure.

Jumping Is Uselss · Sep 09, 2008, 11:56 AM // 11:56

400 for glowy hands? but at least the OP's is the cheapest by far.

Unreal Havoc · Sep 09, 2008, 12:08 PM // 12:08

I find it amusing people will pay so much money just for Divine Aura, what a waste of money.

Orange Milk · Sep 09, 2008, 02:43 PM // 14:43

I shall bid 13 ecto and 12 Zkeys, and a Gold Max Jug Req 12 Divine.

you have some serious social problems if you're paying 300 euros for just a game

But BMP isn't a CE. And while yes, that was wrong of them to cave in, they can get away with it since Anet never said they won't offer it again. CE's on the other hand are numbered and have a limited production run.

... Like it would be hard to find the item on eBay yourself, rofl.

Chestnut · Sep 09, 2008, 04:50 PM // 16:50

Oh hey I can put a bid on that and buy it! yay

Um, just what about the BMP was a slap in the face? Did they ever say that the BMP was "exclusive" to anyone, or any sort of "special edition". (Hint - the answer is NO.)

Or are you saying it was a slap in the face to make other people pay for what you got for free? I know I always get upset when someone gets to pay for the drink that I got free with the burger and fries

Tyla · Sep 09, 2008, 04:58 PM // 16:58

This is very tempting...

Whether or not the OP is advertising, I'm not sure. I suggest the removal of the link.

I think I'm gonna bid on this also!

Vamis Threen · Sep 09, 2008, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Yes indeed, foolish OP. He has no chance of getting it now. It's almost as if he was advertisng it! Wait, no........
