That STig, and we need better expressions on the faces during the cinematics. When Vizer was like yelling "I will defeat you again Shiro!", she should have shown a great deal emotional outrage on her face rather then being like "Hi, my name is Sandy"

I mean this in all sincerity! I want better underwear for my femme necro. Honestly, those things she's wearing are granny pants.

That is all.

Remember Melech that they said that there were like in the works or where considering how to give us like town clothing or something.

It's been quiet a while since I've seen that, but I do remember it. That is somethign else we surely wouldnt be allowed to buy from the Store.

Why stop there, how about selling pvp emotes and guildwars gold, sounds a great way to completely screw the game up and fill anet pockets.

If i wanted to pay out of my arse for ingame peripherals id play maplestory.

I think the store should end at character slots and new campaigns.

So you dont think that artwork of various types (scenrey, charactery, etc.), things such as shirts, mugs, etc, along with minatures/toys and other odd things shouldn't be sold at the Store?

The only thing I'm against is selling in-game things in the store. But I'm all for actually being able to touch and feel something that I paid for with real money.

I totally agree with what you say. I think mugs and miniatures would be great. I would love to have a Charr army on the top of my case.

I think that kind of stuff would sell well as long as it was good quality of course.

I was thinking tho. I'm not for the selling of in-game things like x-tra storage but what if they did it up like an expansion pack, so for a price of 29.99 you get a beefed up storage, auction house, a couple character slots, large post-sear catacombs area and whatever else they can squeeze in and keep the price reasonable. I think I would be very tempted at buying such a thing. What do you guys think?

IMHO, the store should sell:

- character slots
- chapters
- services like character transfer for folks who bought multiple accounts

The following should be available in game for in game gold:

- change character appearance
- change character name
- storage

The store should *not* be selling stuff that was previously an exclusive (e.g., preorder items, divine auras no longer available). That would unnecessarily annoy the hard core. I personally think selling in-game weapons is a bad idea and should be limited to the preorders like they do today.

How about a Game Arenas international continent, where the old event arenas go?
Like the snowball fights, dragon arenas, etc
Sell it as seperate content but since it's not a full chapter, keep the price lower.
No fancy godly reward, but game faction exchange for lollipops that only REMOVES 15% DP would be nice...so it doesn't ruin the whole market of candy canes, which removes it all.

The problem with limitting sales to small material souvenirs: the net-profits will be VERY small, making the whole store excercise worthless. ANET cannot survive as a business if it costs $4 to make a product that they can only sell for $5.00, while it costs $50/day to maintain store services. I don't know if you've ever worked in an enterprise environment, but penny-ante items like $10 T-shirts and mugs won't sustain ANET long term. They must market goods that have real demand from their target market. Hint: I won't be buying any T-shirts and mugs for $50+ a unit, and I really doubt too many others will be doing anything similar.

So, what can ANET sell that generates raw profits at no significant costs? Here are some examples:

-Character Storage Slots: Disk arrays and enterprise scale storage is fairly cheap. Costs $10/ea. and is being sold now.

-CD-Keys: virtually no cost. Already being sold online, sells at $50+ each

See a pattern forming?

Question: Will we be able to purchase Guildwars - Nightfall through the store? If we can, I'm doing that.

Opinion: Chapters, character slots and storage should be "buyable" through the store.

mega_jamie · Aug 03, 2006, 10:01 PM // 22:01

Answer, Yes, although chances are it would be GW Nightfall, standard edition only, until they maybe start ofering shipping options, as it was stated with the Factions fiasco that with CE you pay for the box extras, so to warrent charging you the CE price you have to recieve these somehow. Although perhaps there will be insentives for people who pre-order and buyh via the online store.

They already are... Factions and Prophecies are both available through the online store. Nightfall will probably be sold in a similar manner as well, because it eliminates many shipping and availability problems. And if full GW editions can be sold in this manner, why not CE-keys?

PS: I'm getting sick of waiting... I'll just hunt down a Prohecies-CE edition online. ANET missed my business here.

I wouldn't exactly call it missing your business if they're still going to recieve their cut of the price you end up paying...

They've already gotten their money... but they would have made more if they sold it online direct. No paper, no box, just profit.

Can you make me one saying " I like to Frenzy". PLEASE!

Scavenger Rage · Aug 04, 2006, 02:19 AM // 02:19

Changing names and appereance is COMPLETELY unreasonable, its like a metamorphose in real life, RIDICOLOUS!!!

As for selling in game "benefits" for real money, unreasonable as well, character slots OK, campains OK, storage space NOT OK AT ALL!!!

Some stuff like mugs and all, they are pretty....i would NEVER buy one of those, but i definetely see some market there

Later.

darkorical · Aug 04, 2006, 03:30 AM // 03:30

I wouldnt mind being able to in addition to buying a char slot buying the char to go in it.

what Im saying is a lvl 20 char nothing more for the char
but maybe it could have cities that are unlocked on other chars availible to map to

with the skill trainers selling all skills you have unlocked already it shouldnt be difficult for someone to use a storage account to transfer gold so a char can buy the skills it wants

why I say this is I would like to try a Rit ... but I dont want to spend forever leveling it up and going through the story again just so I can have a rit to take on elite missions or to UW or FoW and such ...

cubgrant23 · Aug 04, 2006, 04:57 AM // 04:57

i will never pay for anything besides the actual game! no extra slots, no fancy stuff. i just want what i need to play the game. and if i have to start buying stuff to be able to compete, screw it i wont play anymore.
