I used to play Guild Wars on my friends account for a long time and now i would like to buy it myself, so i've tried to purchase it on many websites and the complete edition seems to be out of order everywhere and it isn't available on the NC store. So is there anywhere i can get it or do i have to be trilogy edition and then eye of the north?

Can't you just download the client and buy right off the logon screen? anyone?

If you want to buy the trilogy I highly advise buying it online through the NCsoft store, you can use either a credit card or paypal account to do this. (prepaid credit cards work to).

Where are you based? The availability of GW retail products differs by region. The Complete Collection was only available in Europe and seems to be low on availability.

The Trilogy Edition was only available in North America (afaik), and yes it would require a separate purchase of Eye of the North.

My suggestion would be to use a game search website or Google Shopping to see what retail products are available for you.
Compare them to the cost of the game from the NCSoft Store and other digital download sites like Steam.

A quick search at Amazon UK shows the complete collection to be instock;

They do ship overseas, but you should always calculate the shipment costs in that case compared to byuing the same games separately in your contry.

In the USA, Walmart has/had the Complete Collection but only in-store, not online. The availability differs store to store. You can check on their website for situation with Walmart's near to you.

They have 50% off of Eye of the North until June 9, so if you can't find the complete collection, now will be the time to get yourself the trilogy and EotN separately.
