The only thing I'd buy is if you made action figures based on peoples characters. similar to what maxis does with spore, they let people get figures based on what they amde ingame.

though for guild wars it would be easier, you could just make diffrent molds and peice them together based on how someone build their charcter.


Edit: what also would be cool is a usb drive that could fit the game, or at the very least your template folders and screenshots.

I'd buy a Poster a laminated world map. Definitely.

Don't own a credit card though, and I don't think NZ would be a priority for accessing such merchandise :P.

I would be interested in most of that stuff. Someone else already mentioned this, but it would be great if we could get a figure of one of our characters, down to the 15k armor

I didn't vote for "action figures/miniature figures" because I wanted to add some $0.02. Please no cheesy plastic stuff. I'd rather pay a little extra and get a nice, good quality collectable (maybe "statuette" would be a better description) that I can put somewhere to be admired than a:

*advertising voice*

NEW!!!! Guild Wars Action Figures!

Prince Rurik! Features a sword that really swings! Press this button to make it FLASH!!! OMGWOW!!!

*end advertising voice*

100% Awesome on a nice quality Cloth World Map. Would be very nice. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for good quality.

Sorry Gaile but I wouldn't buy any of those. What I would part with my hard earned money for is:

Even more storage space.
Character slots (yes I know I can already get those).
Mini-Pets that are based on my toons.
Oh yes and a PvE exclusive anti nerf skill (joke) (Hmm well maybe not a joke after all)

Basically stuff I can use in game.

Action figures and coffee mugs most of all.

What a contest it would be to have one of your own characters immortalised as an action figure....now there's a thought

There will be no doubt my wife will make me put in an order if there is a good sized fungal wallow plushie...she thinks the mini pet is adorable as it is

And I'd love posters, artwork, maps and such.

Put it in the shop and make it good quality...I'll be a regular.

Edit: I already own the Factions Z-board so computer gear is most welcome aswell.

I voted for:

Action Figure / Miniature Figure - would love to have a Kuunavang sitting on my desk, to match my minipet ingame.

High quality cloth or laminated world maps - If they looked really nice, like old world maps one would get at a map store, I'd hang them on my wall in frames. Always wanted to do that with the CE and Prima maps, but they look more like something a teenager would put up, and not worth buying a frame for. This is a good option because it's both functional and decorative.

Coffee mug or commuter mug - Can always use a good coffee/tea mug, for those non-GW computer/work days. It would be nice if they looked classy, rather than cheesy, since most of the people buying this option will probably be professionals, or taking one to work with them. Basically, a classy inscribed mug that attracts interest, rather than a kid's lunchbox that attracts derision.

Posters of concept art and characters would be nice as well, but posters for video games I've seen and gotten before tend to look very juvenile rather than like artwork, which is why I didn't vote for this one.

The rest of the list are throwaway items, imho; the kind of stuff one would put in a promo package and hand out at a convention. And I can't remember the last time I bought a mouse that actually needed a mousepad.

I want a laptop, bound in Elonian leather and embossed with the same pattern as the ranger Ancient armour robe.

Failing that, some PC case badges would be nice. The plastic "badge" type for desktops and a metalic foil version for laptops, please.

I'd go for any of the clothing items (as i'm currently sporting my black guild wars T), coffee mugs and travel mugs galore, and then any accessories for the pc. Following that, sweep me off my feet with plushies, a hat or two and maybe a blow up cynn doll?

I'd be the first person to buy a Guild Wars t-shirt. Please consider it.

IMO fully explored world maps with all continents and also poster size individual maps would be awesome and I WOULD buy them. Also,mouse pads would be a nice touch. At least for the US please provide an option for online purchase but I agree that internationally you should make it available in brick and mortar stores esp in Europe.

Where is the none option...

so you can at least look if it is worth all the hassle if only 0.00001% of your customerbase is that crazy to buy more junk that will just draw dust on one of the storage shelves...
