Hey just wondering when i was looking at the prices that they are awfully high for being pounds.

It says i think 40pounds for the orignal guild wars which comes out to be around 120 bux when you transfer into New Zealand Dollars (I live in NZ) this is a huge increase on price as you can buy the game for 70 Bucks here in the shops (Only Factions Collectors Edition is 120bux).

So looking at this is it 40 pounds or is it a glitch and suposed to be 40 NZD ??

Ya the same thing is happening here in the US.

I've seen prophecies for $35 to $40 in some stores and factions for $45 in some stores, yet on the store, they are both $50. Pretty weird if you ask me. You would think they would REQUIRE the stores to have certain prices if they are going to do something like this.

Oh well...I bought my three character slots, so I'm happy.

His problem is alittle different.

The money conversion makes it where his Costs WAYYY more than it should.

Or I'm reading wrong..

maybe he's not talking about this, but that's an issue too...

As I haven't found how to change the currency i'll be paying in, i'll have to pay in euros.
an extra character slot cost 9.99$ dollars in the US, and the store sell it for 8.99€ if you lives in europe...

but unfortunatly:

9.99 U.S. dollars = 7.85007072 Euros

well, at least, this time we don't get the usual 1$=1€...

Yeh what I was saying is that the conversion rates are high. And because they are seeing at 40euro this makes it a lot more money to buy form the shop.

ie it would cost me 30bux just to get another character slot
