is this true, i was under the impression that you could only use a credit card?

Yes, you can use a debit card. The age requirement to get a debit card is ridiculously low in the US, I have no idea about elsewhere. And if you don't meet that age requirement, your parents are probably buying you Guild Wars anyway, and this brings me back to the fact that if your parents refused to buy it for you, its not Areanets problem. Suck up to your parents, don't whine. Whining is probably why your parents refused to buy it for you in the first place.

Blame the mods. They shut all the other BMP threads (including one specifically about alternate ways to purchase) and directed posters here. Shame, this was such a nice thread for a dozen or so pages.

FWIW, I expect ANet will eventually offer the pack again, but whether they do or not - it obviously would not be so soon after launch, so maybe we could all stop fighting about it for now?

Very nice. Just a shame all the mursaat rewards seem to be floating chunks of crystal. Weapons, shields and off-hands would've been so much nicer.

Oh well, 3 out of 4 is still pretty good especially since the 3 are totally gorgeous.

The only weapons I don't like are some of the sceptres.
They look like chunky clubs!

Yea, true, if you wanted them as separate purchases then they would be cheaper in game. If you just wanted one of the cheaper in store.

but i will admit i did not read up enough on it, i thought that you could buy this pack after OR get this deal by spending 30$ at the online store, which in turn would save you money, not cost more money

This is the main issue. Go to any other store where you didn't notice someplace else had it on sale and cry this way - see how far you get. No one's fault but your own. There is little more Anet could have done to inform you - if you choose to clock your ears and close your eyes no one's fault but your own.

also say someone takes a 2 month break, and misses all this excitement about the pack, they go out and buy gwen to get caught up, but there is no chance for them to have any crack at the BMP.

Lets say they do this and then notice GWEN was on sale someplace else - so? Is there any other thing where after taking months off you expect to be fully caught up on everything?

i see your logics, it just dont seem it a fair thing for anet to do.

No, it's perfectly fair - that is a separate issue from you *liking it*.

Once more you didn't bother to do enough to even note how you can pay for something and expect everything to work the way you want? Not only that but the pre-paid debit cards (that require you to do nothing more than purchase them from a store - I purchased mine from Wal-Mart) work just fine.

If you had the cash to buy the game from a store you had the ability to purchase from the in-store game. If you were looking to save money then having the BMP one sale later is going to *cost* you money (and that was obvious from the get go). The only complaint (and it is one I share) is that online purchases do not get the box - I like the boxes but the BMP was a MUCH better "reward" than the box. In this case you were told from the very beginning you had this choice.

I hope the release it later for a decent amount of money, at least 20 dollars - but then that will also prompt a huge thread of people complaining that it is too expensive (and argue that it should be anywhere from free - after all people who own all three chapters+gwen are loyal customers - up to whatever they charge). I think they would be crazy not too, that amount would make it available and those of us who forgo getting a the nice physical stuff from the retail store wouldn't feel screwed - especially considering everything that we were told before hand and what we gave up to purchase from the online store.

As is many are wanting their cake and to eat it too, while the rest of us had to choose which one. And yes, that is also a selfish idea, however that was the way we were told things would work before hand and I chose the one I wanted of the choices offered, not pick one and figure if I whined enough I would get the other one too. I hope you get access to the quests, but you have to give up something for it too.

Yeah, I was really hoping for some animation from the Mursaat weapons. After a few minutes, the novelty of them wear off, but the other weapons are still awesome. Just wish Tengu could be dyed a color other than Sand.

Abnaxus · Nov 30, 2007, 10:09 AM // 10:09

On each account I bought 2 extra character slots (one year ago more or less), EoTN preview, 3x skill unlock (one week ago), I think it's more than 36 euros on each of my 2 accounts.

I can't log now, but I'll be very pi***d off if I'm not having the BMP just because my purchases weren't done in the right moment.

This afternoon I'll check it ...

Kula · Nov 30, 2007, 10:11 AM // 10:11

Is this thread about the BMP itself or the beaten-up corpse of a horse?

Let's get back on topic and post more screenshots, pls.

Some mighty fine skins in there...

Ladybadone · Nov 30, 2007, 10:11 AM // 10:11

This is pretty silly. I just started to play GW about a month ago. Went out and got the platinum edition , 2 cuz my husband plays from our local game store. Then a couple weeks later we both got Factions and NF, and in total spent about 160 dollars. Now I got all my games from a game store, because I like the box sets of all my games. Kinda like to collect them. I dont want the digital codes. So why should I not be able to get the BMP. The money i spent went to GW for the games. I just choose to buy from a game shop to get the box set.

Fractions, lol. I like to collect boxes too, but I chose to not get the box, and instead trade it for BMP access. You can't eat your cake and have it too.

You answered your own question. For further examples, please scroll up.

Bah excuss me for making a typo. You kids really need to go over to WoW where all the rest of your kindergarten class is and play in the sandboxes. Hmm and its you cant have your cake and eat it too, since we are being so technical here.

You seemed to miss the part where she typed about spending $160.

Funny that.

YOU seemed to miss the part where she didn't spend that money in the online store. I just spent $16,000 on a car. Should I get a free torment weapon?

How could not having these tiny 4 missions and 4 new skins make what people bought any less fun?

I was laughing because as soon as Factions was announced, there were dozens upon dozens of threads with the word "Fractions" in them. It was nostalgic, since almost no one talks about the campaign outside of AB. And If I was in kindergarden, I wouldn't be able to play Guild Wars!

NelZelpheer · Nov 30, 2007, 10:24 AM // 10:24

Maybe some free wax?

Something that relates to cars?

Point is, that'd still be over $40 Profit to Anet/NC.

Because not having an alternative way to buy kinda sucks when you can't get your hands on a credit card.

K we know its open, shall we close this thread before it changes to the I cant get Bonus mission whining thread?

Ancient Menace · Nov 30, 2007, 10:28 AM // 10:28

Yes, please do!
