Is there a trustworthy veteran here that would help me get the Complete Collection? - Guild Wars Forums

ZimbuTheMonkey · Oct 27, 2010, 03:54 AM // 03:54

Hello.

I'm a Canadian and I am looking to get into Guild Wars. I've researched the different versions and I feel that the CC is by far the best value, unfortunately I can't find any place that would ship to me with a reasonable shipping charge.

Anyone here that would be willing to receiving the game for me and then email me the unlock code?

Amazon.co.uk has it for 15 pounds, that's an amazing deal as far as I'm concerned.

I would strongly advise against this. All you want is for the person to email you the serial key? Without the box, etc., should you have any account troubles in future, you may have a difficult time providing enough evidence to support of your ownership of the account.

Don't they just usually ask for the Cd-key if there are account issues?

People throw away game boxes all the time. I guess I can buy the GW trilogy and then purchase the expansion separately, but that is way pricier than the CC.

Star_Jewel · Oct 27, 2010, 04:07 AM // 04:07

Usually the serial key is enough, I believe. But make sure you find somebody really trustworthy. Because if the person who does this for you is the one who creates your account problems, and both of you know the serial key, right of ownership is going to come down to whoever has scans of the packaging with the key printed on it.

It makes me uneasy. You may be more willing to take the risk. But if you can't afford a little extra shipping, I'm not sure how you could afford the possibility of losing an entire account.

ZimbuTheMonkey · Oct 27, 2010, 04:09 AM // 04:09

I didn't even consider that.

I thought once I used up the unlock code I'd be good to go. But I suppose it being an MMO makes it susceptible to account disputes and fraud just like WoW.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh guess I'll just pay a bit more and get the North American edition. Thanks for the advice, Star_Jewel.

Kojima · Oct 27, 2010, 06:55 AM // 06:55

You can get it online in the guild wars page. Just download it and follow through the instructions.

*lemming* · Oct 27, 2010, 07:07 AM // 07:07

You can try Ebay - request no shipping and CD key via email after you win the auction.

Hey, I would be willing to help you out, after all guildwars needs more people xD, but yeh ofc if u wanna hang out for a while before hand that would be fine, my guild can vouch for me. We have a vent server if you wanna come on that (vent50.light-speed.com port: 5843) and also our new website

www.unitedinbattle.guildlaunch.com

or just pm me on guru

,

if you decide to go through with it I can give u my address

Go on Offgamers they have great prices and fast delivery! 20$ for Trilogy + EOTN

Roen · Oct 27, 2010, 01:25 PM // 13:25

I'd be happy to help too. I am trustworthy, but of course that's exactly what a liar would say. And there's nobody on GWG to vouch for me as I haven't been around here long enough to build a good rep. But I already have the whole game (proph,fac,nf, and gw:en) and my son does too so I already have access to a second account if I needed it. I guess I'm just saying, I have no interest in additional codes/keys. Now if you were buying a character rename or extreme makeover kit then I'd have to swipe it. (just kidding!)

Maybe your best bet is to just eat the extra shipping charges. But if you are interested, PM me. I'll send you my name and work address. The unlock code is usually printed on a small piece of paper in the game box and I see no reason I couldn't simply toss those in an enevelope and send the physical copies to you via post.

Is that site reliable?

I don't mind purchasing a cdkey, but they can't be refunded and I've heard of people getting used keys before.

And thanks for the offers, guys, but I will pass. My gf knows some people in the UK and maybe I will try sending it to them.

yitjuan · Oct 27, 2010, 03:29 PM // 15:29

you will still need to download stuff even after installing via cds.

I've never stated that I have a problem with downloading the game.

In fact, I regret not jumping on the 20$ Trilogy deal on Steam a few months back.

Iceblue · Oct 27, 2010, 03:40 PM // 15:40

Just an FYI, amazon.co.uk and play.com would only ship the CC to somewhere in the UK/europe since it's a 'european' version of the game. I purchased mine from mymemmory.co.uk and they shiped it to me for free to Israel. It cost me 17 pounds.

Thanks for the site recommendation, I'm checking it out.

EDIT: With shipping, it comes up to ??18.40, which is very reasonable. I think I might just order it from this site. Thanks very much!

EDIT2: And just to confirm, there should be no problems or conflict seeing that I am using the game in a North American country, right?

I'm not sure if you will have problems or not. About two weeks after I added the key (to my prophecies only account, purchased from amazon in the USA), which was about two weeks also after the server move, i began having lag issues. I haven't contacted support yet to see if it's because of the version or if the problem is my end, because I suspect it's my end. I read somewhere here that if you have lag issues it's a good idea to notify them of your location.

Also, just an FYI expect my memmory to ask for proof of address.

Good luck and hope you enjoy the game.

I remember reading that you can switch regions on the fly, so I'll be able to set it to NA servers. If I couldn't do that, I wouldn't even be interested in the European edition of the game.

Whatever, I'm going to pull the trigger, I think 30$ CAD for the entire collection is a very good price and not one I am likely to find any time before Christmas.

There's probably going to be a STEAM holiday sale soon, but I doubt it'll go under $30 for all 4 games (Trilogy + EotN). I mean, they sell EotN for $30 and Trilogy for $40. Even with 50% you won't get it that low.

This 15 pounds sale is awesome though. Wish I knew someone in UK.

yitjuan · Oct 27, 2010, 04:52 PM // 16:52

well then, i bought my factions and eotn in offgamers, can vouch for them.

their site interface sucks though.

*Darcy* · Oct 27, 2010, 07:24 PM // 19:24

It makes no difference where the key code originated. I personally have the North American Prophecies and EotN, and the European CEs for Factions and Nightfall. All that matters is the home address you give when creating the account.
