One last point, $150, I assume that is per month, but seriously, why are you complaining? If it is $150 per month, and your not just some high school kid doing a part time job for spare cash, you should be focusing your money on something more important or less expensive than video games.

Yes, he needs to take an english class with that money. I think Play NC is wise to use this bonus to promote use of the online store.

Life isn't fair....get used to it. Not everyone playing the game are "rich mama's boys", a lot of us are adults, with our own money.

A petition would be a waste of time because it's not going to change anything.

Good, one less whiney baby. Matter of fact, why don't you quit now and save yourself some time because it's not going to change.

RPGmaniac · Sep 29, 2007, 09:58 PM // 21:58

So you're going to quit because you can't get to four measly missions? Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Neo Nugget · Sep 29, 2007, 10:05 PM // 22:05

Also,the missions aren't playable with out characters accoring to the GW special edition mag.

We get to play as whoever is significant in the mission we will be playing.
I think it said Gwen, master togo(lol), Saul D'allesio and i think palawa Joko not sure on that one though.

wetsparks · Sep 30, 2007, 12:29 AM // 00:29

No it is one of the Ossa's aginst Palawa I think it was.

Wrath of m0o · Oct 01, 2007, 12:52 AM // 00:52

Well, i also dont need anything from the online store, so some way to purchase this directly after everyone has farmed the crap out of it would be nice.

i dont think people will be farming it, as you cannot use your own character during the missions...

Rothen Kithkanan · Oct 01, 2007, 12:41 PM // 12:41

I'm sure they promoted it by saying something along the lines of " gain exclusive rewards " which suggests it'll be linked to your account somehow

pamelf · Oct 01, 2007, 02:43 PM // 14:43

Ok, quick question... I have bought two character slots, the EOTN pre-release pack and the GOTY upgrade from the online store so far. Do I need to buy anything else to make the quota? I'm not really sure how much I need, and didn't really pay much attention to how much everything was costing since I was paying in pounds which isn't my home currency...

I wish there was something telling me how much I still had to spend to be eligible, if at all...

milan · Oct 01, 2007, 02:59 PM // 14:59

There is a way to check. Go to your plaync account, login and click on Billing summary.

You'll see all the purchases you made from the ingame store and the plaync site.

The minimum spend for British pounds is £17

Ok, so, between July 22nd and August 14 I spend about GBP18... So, that's within the time period and enough to qualify? Just making sure.

Thanks heaps for that info btw. Would never have thought of that.

gremlin · Oct 07, 2007, 06:05 PM // 18:05

I emailed them about the offer saying I had pretty much bought everything I nneded from the shop and asked if they had considered other ways of qualifying.
Suggested a collectors edition of gwen as a possible option.

reply said they would consider other options and intended to give up more things to buy in the store, hense the extra merchantise.

In the end I bought 3 extra character slots and this has given me 3 trader characters and more storage.
Not to mention 3 more minipets a year and more special chest runs each month in NF, i'm happy.

Bonus Mission Pack FAQ

Twisties · Oct 07, 2007, 10:03 PM // 22:03

I loove the online store, living in rural Australia it's the only way I can buy Guild Wars chapters, expansions, etc. And the ease of being able to add in an extra slot for storage for just $15 when I feel like it/need it. Heck, without the store, I would be still stuck with just one account and that Prophecies only! Can't wait until the bonus pack arrives (late b'day present)

pamelf · Oct 08, 2007, 06:31 AM // 06:31

Thanks heaps Milan. Very helpful.

Explodie · Oct 08, 2007, 07:19 AM // 07:19

Meh my birthday is on 1st of November

So the only thing i would get is

Mhuhahahaha you cant get the bonus pack, happy birthday anyway >.<

But i still want a way that dutch people can buy in the ingame store!
Make paypal or something, but please Anet do something before 31st october ...

I dont have a creditcard, i dont even know what to do with it. =\
It costs money to have one ... So why even get a creditcard. =/

But i think alot of people dont like this way, they even buy a game from "Arenanet", but still they have to hear, "But in the ingame store"

Why then even bring the games in normal stores?

gremlin · Oct 08, 2007, 08:46 AM // 08:46

I really would like to use paypal for the online store, its a sensible way forward.

I also feel the online store should be lower in price, online you get a code.
In the real computer shop you get the cd, map rulebook and little extras depending which set you buy.

Spellforge · Oct 08, 2007, 10:11 AM // 10:11

I've paid for a 3 month subscription to CoH at the store - do I qualify ?

Spellforge · Oct 08, 2007, 03:09 PM // 15:09

Why not - I spent ??23 in july at the NCSoft store - that was on CoH subscription.
The Bonus Mission Pack FAQ says nothing about the purchase at the NCSoft store having to be something specific to GW , just purchases at NCSoft store
