Nightfall - Best place to buy new or 'used' - Guild Wars Forums

monk463 · Mar 29, 2008, 01:03 PM // 13:03

I was wondering if anyone has a lead on a good price for Nightfall; I see it running in a range from $32 to $40 (not counting the few $49 that bring a chuckle.)

On a second front what is GW policy on 'used' and your feeling/advice on this. If I buy used from, some place like eBay or whomever and get a license code how can I be sure it is not going to be spammed against or compromised in some way that I haven't thought about.

More importantly is this OK in the eyes of the 'True Gods' of GW.

don't buy used you'll only be wasting your money since you won't be getting an acess key, and I would say around $30 is a good price for nightfall try looking on amazon.com for a copy you may find one cheaper

Buying and selling 'used' is also a violation of the GW EULA.

If you buy a "used" game, there is one important thing that you should know:

Once the key that comes with the game has been added to a game account, there is no way to unbind it again. If you buy a used code, you're buying someone else's game account. This is against the EULA, which could lead to the account being banned from the game permanently. Also, you would need to have the original documentation (the original receipt and the original keys) to hold onto the used account or the previous owner could just contact NCSoft support and claim the account back after you've paid him for it.

In general, it is too much of a risk to buy a "used" key.

As far as good prices for Nightfall go, they were on sale at Game this month for £15 (one of this month's special offers). Nightfall's been out for nearly a year and a half already as it is, so if you keep hunting around you should find it at a very reasonable price, and don't forget to check the bargain bins at your local video game stores either (I got my copy of Prophecies out of a bargain bin for next to nothing).

I wondered if used was against the and apparently it is so new it shall be and I will explore the bargain bins etc. (does that count toward the Cartography Title?)

Without fail, you can count on "used" keys to be a scam. Every time. Don't buy them.
