Curse

I checked with the local Gamestop. What looked to be a 12 year old pecked around on the computer for a sec and said there was a new guild wars game coming out on Feb 28. It was going to be $30.00. I ask for any info on the game he could give me and there was none. He also said he could not reserve it and everytime that happened that there was always a date setback on the release.

Now with that said. I do not want to start a flame war. Just wanting to know if anyone else has found any info on it. The info i got is in no way confermed nor do i have any way of knowing if it is true or not.

Looking at Official Press Release Dates the only NSoft releases currently on the release list are Aion (Q3 2008), Exteel (TBA) and Soccer Fury (TBA)

Well, it is Gamestop.

J?K

The only thing that stands out to me is the GW:Platinum edition (Proph and EOTN). I haven't seen it in any stores around my area so I wonder if that could be it, other than that, it COULD be the BMP retail box, but for $30, I hope not.

We got GW:Platinum edition (Proph and EOTN) here in Aussie. Wasnt to long ago they had some in eb games, But all sold out b4 Xmas.

What the heck?

The north american page of retail stores (aka the Direct 2 Drive one) has been taken off of the main website.

What is going on here? This should have been sorted out before today... :/

Shuuda · Jan 28, 2008, 10:52 PM // 22:52

I like the high price, the best part of it being I don't have to pay it.

Watching others suffer comically is win.

/fail by a-net marketing they just lost loads of future online sales

Well they have a +1 from me for BMP.

I just convinced a couple friends to get it too...

I feel special knowing that I am one of the last people on earth aparently to see people buy the game. Shame really...

Says the economist.

I really dont understand why people are mad that they got somthing for free that is now being sold :S.

Numa Pompilius · Jan 28, 2008, 11:12 PM // 23:12

I got the BMP as a bonus with EotN, enjoyed it, and I'm happy it's now being offered to more players.

I'm completely at a loss as to how it's somehow unfair to those who like me got it for free with EotN that it's now available for sale?

Or did you guys only buy EotN because you wanted the BMP? For real?

Mr. G · Jan 29, 2008, 12:06 AM // 00:06

for those not getting why people are a little peeved heres an example:

one of those really nice cars, gold plated engine blah blah blah only 100 ever made!

You run out and buy it, enjoy it and then they say lets make 1000000 more

while your happy others can have the fun you had, wheres that Uber feeling from it

All I really want is anet to say sorry, or at least acknowledge they sorta screwed alot of people

also you gotta remember those who bought online lost out on things (like a physical copy) and had all the hassle of buying online (hell for me)

If i knew they would release it later on, I know id have bouhgt a boxed game

The only thing I hated about the update of this is having to renew the eula as I just scim through it and press summit.

1. This has been discussed to death

2. They never said it was limited or a one time only deal. Infact, most agree that it was fairly obvious they would later sell it in the store, hence why a lot of people, myself included decided to wait. Notice how none of the pre-order content has been released or obtainable via other methods?

If you're unable to tell the difference between a promotion and exclusive content, that's not really Anet's fault.

Biostem · Jan 29, 2008, 01:07 AM // 01:07

I don't think the BMP was ever touted as exclusive or limited time only. The promotion was "spend X dollars at the online store, between dates A and B, and get the BMP free". The "free" part was the promotion, not the BMP itself...

Absolute_Zero · Jan 29, 2008, 01:13 AM // 01:13

Anyone else having issues with the store?

After I enter all my info I get:

Quote:

Network Error. Please check your Internet connection.(Code=1751256)

Even though I logged in fine and am able to play, wtf. Sent support ticket.

Mickey · Jan 29, 2008, 01:57 AM // 01:57

I can't buy on the PlayNC store. It says "We cannot accept your order at this time. Please try again later or tomorrow." What does this mean? Busy with other orders?

Tender Wolf · Jan 29, 2008, 02:46 AM // 02:46

This really makes me mad, I paid $30 for a bonus mission pack (over priced in my opinion) and now it's out to buy for only $5. And I bought GWEN in the store, so I spent the money on character slots and bonus items I never really use. My heroes use them more than I do. So I want a refund.

well i bought GW:EN from EBGames...via Pre-Order..
so if i wanted BMP i purchased 3 char slots to qualify...some may be peeved that they thought it was a one time offer, so purchased whatever in online store to qualify.
i personally dont think they ever planned on selling this in online store at the start of the Exclusive and Limited Promotion(not BMP)...but since it was more successful then expected they chose to make it an offer for everyone at a reasonable price via Online Store.

i certainly dont regret my choice..and wish people would let it go...like those other dumb threads about "who will purchase BMP?"...i guess those that dont have it...sheesh

anyway anyone new to BMP enjoy..

Darkobra · Jan 29, 2008, 08:21 AM // 08:21

Does anyone know if GAME has it? It says nothing on their site about it. Just saves me rushing about.
