So it won't be special anymore... What is the bonus now?

JASON626 · Jan 10, 2008, 07:15 PM // 19:15

I think they just need to give the original BMP players an extra character slot now... make us feel special sorta :S

I already feel special...remember, we got it for free.

Now i want my GW:EN Packaging.

Or a char spot.
Let's hope it'll be played and not become a Weapons Pack though.
Here ya go.

onerabbit · Jan 10, 2008, 07:20 PM // 19:20

ok, i want a refund for GWEN, i only bought it becuase i thought BMP was ganna be a one off, special/limmited edition thing.

thats bs.

jackie · Jan 10, 2008, 07:20 PM // 19:20

Lol at the price tag. Quite steep from such a small content pack, but a true HC fan does not care!

So because everyone else is getting it, it's no longer cool?

Right.

GW:EN was quite overpriced imo, still.

However, this thread WILL end up in a flame-fest.
I sense it's coming....

HawkofStorms · Jan 10, 2008, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Nah, because everybody else is getting it for a 3rd of the price.... its no longer cool.

Rift · Jan 10, 2008, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Oh come on guys. We got it for free, and before everyone else. Asking for anything more is just being greedy.

I think it's great news that more people will be able to get their hands on this wonderful addition.

I also hope that this precedent set by Anet propagates to other small account additions that could be distributed by micro-transactions (like upgrading to a collector's edition for 5 bucks

)

Stolen Souls · Jan 10, 2008, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Wait! Dont anybody else post until I go get some popcorn!! I wanna see this!

EDIT:

All I know is that I won't be in any rush to take part in an Anet "limited offer"...knowing it'll be available for sale later, anyway.

we didnt get it free.. i could have bought GWEN at my local games shop for £12.99, but no, i payed £21 in the store, just so i can get the BMP.. so i feel i did pay for it.

fowlero · Jan 10, 2008, 07:27 PM // 19:27

Nice gesture/horrible failure on anets part depending which way you look at it.

I'll second the popcorn, this may be interesting.

My heroes'll actually look semidecent soon then =)

upier · Jan 10, 2008, 07:28 PM // 19:28

Now this is the interesting part:

Do I smell a box?!?!?
I doubt I'll get it though. I don't even have GWEN so ...

//RogueNine · Jan 10, 2008, 07:29 PM // 19:29

Wow, they actually caved to all the whining. What a shame. As someone who went out and bought 3 slots to get the pack, I think I will not be so hesitant to get in on 'limited opportunities' from ANet in the future.

DOCB22 · Jan 10, 2008, 07:29 PM // 19:29

WTF?!!! I bought 3 char slots just to get the damn BMP. this F'N SUCKS! I didn't see an option for KY with my order

-Sonata- · Jan 10, 2008, 07:29 PM // 19:29

Damned if you do..
Damned if you don't.

I MP I · Jan 10, 2008, 07:30 PM // 19:30

People didn't see this coming?? You're shitting me right? Thx Anet! Now I have a reason to play this game again. I'll be looking forward to purchasing this.

Croco Clouds · Jan 10, 2008, 07:31 PM // 19:31

I'll buy it anyway, I complained enough (28th seems too long

)
