You will not be using your own characters, so, how will you get any drops at all?

Unclaimed item box maybe?

Taken it's not gonna be a crappy, buggy kind of thing...

... I hope they add more in the future! :P

I kinda hope this will become available in the store some time after it's release, I also hope that there will be more ways to pay here in the Netherlands by that time. When the online store first came I had a mate with a creditcard and could use his to get 3 slots. I would've bought GWEN in the online store if that mate would still have his creditcard, he didn't, so I couldn't get anything from the online store, missing out on this

Ah well, if it doesn't come available to those that missed out due to limited ways of paying, no biggy, but I would like it.

It will be interesting to see how they handle it because they did not plan this well.

If they let really good things drop then those who could not get it because ANet did not set up the store properly will rightly complain that ANet screwed them over and added good content that many people could not not get. (before you jump on that - I'm not talking about those who chose not to get it but those who could not get it)

If really crappy things drop then those who went and paid 30 bucks (50 bucks in Australia) for things like character slots they did not need in order to get the bonus will rightly complain that they paid 30 bucks for nothing.

Either way they will alienate a good part of their players.

What if people got access to it just from GW:EN? I didn't buy anything in addition to what I normally was going to buy.

And some people actually like having more character slots...

Greens in the bonus mission pack? Sweet! I love greens! Those are the only weapons I'll use. lol I can't wait! Does anyone know for sure when it comes out? Because I'm looking forward to having something new to do. It's boring and too hard/tedious to farm for Legendary Defender of Ascalon.

show us the link from Anet that this is fact not some totally moronic spreading of rumors that even more gullible morons will believe and pass on as fact.

Gattocheese · Nov 05, 2007, 07:05 PM // 19:05

There was a thread after GWEN was released saying that not all the "design a weapon" contest winners were in GWEN. That Anet will be adding them in a little later date, I am assuming thats what items we will be getting from the BMP. Armors-not gonna happen. Mini's-i can see that happening

I know it's incredibly boring, but I can only repeat what Gaile has said when asked about rumours in the past:

Until we confirm something, don't set your heart on it being true. If it's a rumour, chances are it's going to be wrong. That's the way these things go, a lot of the time. Someone will talk about something they'd *like* to have, and overtime as more people talk about it it gets twisted into "I heard they are going to do this..."__________________

Can I qualify for the Bonus Mission Pack through purchases in the PlayNC Store?

Yes, you can. All purchases made through either the Guild Wars In-Game Store or the PlayNC Store from 20:00 BST, 5 July 2007 through 19:00 BST on 31 October 2007 are added together. Once you meet the required amount, the bonus missions will be yours and you’ll get access once the missions go live in November.

5th July to 31 October. that's almost 4 months. Just because people decided to wait and try get EotN from the online store to cover the amount they needed is no fault of Anet's. The offer was there and there was 4 months for anyone who wanted to take advantage of the offer to spend that much. Anyone who complains that they were not given the chance to buy things from the store get the bonus mission pack is not right to do so.

Gonzo · Nov 06, 2007, 08:32 AM // 08:32

Cargan, there are plenty of people who couldn't even find means to pay in the online store, if they would give me 8 months and not change anything in that store I'd still not be able to buy anything. So I feel I'm pretty right in complaining about not getting the chance to buy anything in the online store.

Gotejjeken · Nov 06, 2007, 05:28 PM // 17:28

What about people that have spent over 30 bucks on GW merchandise OUTSIDE of the online store? Why should I have to miss out on this pack just because I purchased GW the first day it came out when there was no online store? I even bought the collector's edition of NF and the pre-order of EOTN, all for what a few hero weapons and a mini-pet?

I think you should get access if you've bought the game and your character is 2+ years old OR if you've spent more than $30 combined in either the in-game or out-of-game store.

You can easily pick up a Visa backed debit card in the Netherlands. Any large bank will offer it, and they won't charge you retarded rates like they do for credit cards. If you can't find one there for whatever reason, you can always pop over to Germany and pick up a prepaid.

And stores that offer buy one get one free deals on milk should retroactively award you free milk for all those milk purchases back to the beginning of time! It makes total sense!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jecht Scye · Nov 06, 2007, 06:54 PM // 18:54

Still hoping for another method to get the BMP... I would buy it from the in-game store for $5. Since Eye of the North was already pre-ordered and bought and the deadline is reached, why not make a little more profit ArenaNet? Offer it as a purchase from the online store, the people who paid $30 already get it for free as well as their purchases so I would expect that mehtod to be fair all around.
