Would you buy the second chapter to Guild Wars? I heard it costs 49.99 US$ in EBgames. The weekend was fun, but because of the cost i had second thoughts about buying it, please post comments

Argen · Jan 24, 2006, 12:56 PM // 12:56

I'm game for it.
The promised new PvE material is roughly equivalent to most current $40-50 cRPGs. The PvP material is just as valuable as a $40-50 vs. game, especially with all the additionally PvP maps. So in truth its like buying 2 games in one. Considering no monthly fee, ANet will get my Ben Franklin.

The thing is, when you buy it, that's it for the spending. Although the weekend did nothing for me, from what I have seen of the next chapter I'll be getting it. Depending on the option to not participate in the factions malarkey and a decent amount of extra character slots of course.

As for the price, just like any game it's best to shop around and see where it's cheapest.

Of course not! $49.99 would be the biggest rip off in my life!! Who the hell would buy any game with $49.99!? If it ain't $60, I ain't buying!

Oops, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed... oh wait, was that the right side or the left side?

Raxxman · Jan 24, 2006, 01:06 PM // 13:06

I'll buy it

Sure I will. I'm not interested in the PvP, but I'm looking forward to the new PvE.

ange1 · Jan 24, 2006, 01:18 PM // 13:18

no, someone will buy it for me, hint hint!

more hint, profile

NightOwl · Jan 24, 2006, 02:35 PM // 14:35

Absolutely.

Nevin · Jan 24, 2006, 02:37 PM // 14:37

Of course, I mean no matter what I'd buy it because I love Guild Wars. Although I do hope they change a lot of the stuff as I've stated in previous threads...

Dougerus · Jan 24, 2006, 02:49 PM // 14:49

I would have said yest to this Sunday but when I came in monday and found my PVP slots were locked since I had a Ritulist charracter there and If I delete I loose all the items she is carrying I am now not so sure. Support has basically said tough luck only if you pay for fraction are you getting your stuff back and maybe not then!

From Anet:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting Guild Wars Support. We can not change the character's classes nor retrieve any items that are in the character's packs. At this time the characters will remain locked and you can choose to leave them on your account until Guild Wars: Factions is released. At the present time it is planned that they will be unlocked for play upon purchase of Guild Wars: Factions, however please keep an eye on http://www.guildwars.com for any announcements regarding how these characters will work upon the release of the game. If you have any further questions or comments, feel free to contact us.

This seems sort Mafia like if I want those items back I gotta buy the Fractions pack or ELSE!

fiery · Jan 24, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

well i got a $20 gift card to EBGAMES what else to buy with it.

Fantus · Jan 24, 2006, 03:17 PM // 15:17

Yes, I will. No question about it. GW is and probably will ever be the cheapest game I've ever bought. I've paid about five cents per hour played. Well, I guess most other spare time activities can't really compete with that...

Yichi · Jan 24, 2006, 03:27 PM // 15:27

Ill buy it but probably only to explore the area with current characters. I didnt like the assassin that much, but will probably build a ritualist, those seemed cool. I'll mainly buy it for the new content comming for my existing chars and new pvp areas

a few things, you knew what time the event was over, you didn't think it would be accesiable after the 48 hours do you? They told us an end time.
Check back to see if there is another event. More than likely there will be at least one more event. Also is it AN's fault you did not move your stuff before the weekend was over?

AN's support is way better than Blizzard or any other MMORPG out there. I have 2 accounts and plan on getting 2 expansions. I can't wait.

Anarkii · Jan 24, 2006, 04:06 PM // 16:06

I'll get it, for the PvE mostly. The concepts about the explorable PvP world sounds promising too. But I'm done with the arena/tourney kind of thing.

QuixotesGhost · Jan 24, 2006, 04:06 PM // 16:06

I've got 50 different Ritualist combos bouncing around in my head right now, I'll need to buy the expasion or they'll be bouncing around there forever.

Ellington · Jan 24, 2006, 04:11 PM // 16:11

Assassins and giant turtles. Of course I'm going to buy it.

Count Feanor · Jan 24, 2006, 04:20 PM // 16:20

Yup, going to buy it. Most expansions I've seen have ranged from 29.99 to 49.99. Since an awesome game like GW doesn't have a monthly fee, I can see why they would opt for the higher price. Gotta make money somewhere.

you are an ...............

you did not read a word beyond free weekend event.

it said in big black letters that after the weekend it would be locked down until purchase.

it took you a WEEKEND to get what you got.

you can get back your faction / unlocks in another weekend

ALSO

this is only the first of several events before release.

IF YOU PUT 100 PLAT AND ALL YOUR BEST GOODIES TO USE IT AS A MULE YOU CAN GET THEM BACK NEXT EVENT
