Curse

Yeah, yeah, another BMP thread. I was hoping my question would be answered before today through the Guild Wars website, but they never updated it. Anyway, so we all know that Europeans can buy the BMP from a selection of two online stores that aren't NCSoft or the GW in-game store. What I'm wondering is if there will ever be online retailers for North American customers, and if there will when will it happen? I'll quote a post I made on GWO...

Quote:

I guess nobody else noticed the few minutes that there was an online "retailer" for Americans. They quickly took it off the flash that takes you to the international ones. (Additionally, there were originally 3 European sites to buy it on, but it's been changed to just two..) The deletion of the American page and the deletion of the third European site came like 10 mins after they were first put up.

The page was http://www.guildwars.com/products/ex...retobuy-na.php, but as you can tell it's been taken down.

The way they had it set up was it took you to some thing called Direct 2 Drive....I did notice when I went to the site there wasn't anything about the BMP on the site. Next thing I notice the link on GW.com was gone.

For more proof, I notice the original flash is still on the website.

http://www.guildwars.com/images/prod...wheretobuy.swf <-- the new one is just wheretobuy2.swf. The link provided you can clearly see the North American one....

Picture in case it gets deleted

annnd the link to direct 2 drive's logo in GW.com

As said, there was originally an option to buy for North Americans...but it was taken down incredibly quickly. Will the option ever return? (this is more so a question to Gaile or someone on the ANet team) I really don't want to use the NCsoft store or the GW in game store, and I feel if they didn't have plans for people in North America to buy it in a retail store (although I still feel it's pretty lame how retail store somehow meant online only, but that's a different thread to complain in) they shouldn't have got mine (and probably a bunch more people's) hopes up by posting it on the American GuildWars website.
