Curse

I've bought 5 char slots some months ago. I've got 14 now.

You think 14 are too many? I think so too.

And I don't get it why I should now buy 3 more slots to get the advantage of the bonus mission pack.

I'm very disappointed by this, I hate anet for this. I will never own the mission pack although I've spent 5x8.99€ = ~45€ for char slots in time.

Please anet, think about people like me and let us get the bonus pack "for free".

Feel free to /sign ed.

3 of those I bought 1 week before announcment

This is no different than any retailer having a sale or promotion. You comply with x during period y to z. You then receive promotional item a. What you may have purchased before the event (or may purchase after the event is over) does not qualify.

Pretty much anytime you buy anything you run the risk of missing some future opportunity. Be it a lower price, a "freebie" given away as in enticement to get you to part with more of your money, or anything else. As I see it, that's just one of the many risks we all share in life.

BTW, I have 4 accounts (got them before you could add char slots, and it's kind of a long story how it all happened), and probably 50 slots across all of them (added so that I could create new characters in particular accounts). Was this a stupid thing to do? Perhaps some would judge it so (and I certainly wouldn't defend it), but I've had fun with it and don't regret spending the money on it.

I own ALL gw titles. you can buy something useful in other shops but not in anet's shop. you can NOT compare anets shop to regular shops.

there is now absolutely NO CHANCE to get the mission pack... except buying some slots I don't need.

no chance? why don't you buy GW:en at midnight?

ummm buy gwen.... be smart.

Or Anet could just sell the bonus mission pack on their store.

That would make the most sense.

bwillcox · Aug 30, 2007, 01:26 PM // 13:26

Well, I have all campaigns on all 4 of my accounts as well. I plan to add GW:EN to all 4 as well (so I can play there with all of my chars). It would be nice if I could combine them somehow (probably would only reduce it down to two if I could, it's handy having two accounts for transferring stuff around).

Coridan · Aug 30, 2007, 01:26 PM // 13:26

its not about what you did for me yesterday or last week but what are you doing for me right now!

Buy GW:EN from the in game store and be done with it or buy a pvp unlock pack.

I, too, own all three chapters and 17 character slots. However, on July 5th when ANet made the announcement of this program I had not yet purchased GW:EN. I could not help but to notice that by purchasing GW:EN through the online store I would easily meet the requirement of the promotion.

Obey The Cat · Aug 30, 2007, 01:27 PM // 13:27

I said I own ALL TITLES ALLLLLLLLLL.

I've got eotn already.

OK, now I am curious. How was it you were able to buy GW:EN prior to July 5th?

that was your choice *not* to use ANET store

maybe GW merchandise like a Tshirt can count

theres always more character slots

I'm NOT saying I agree with how ANET is handling this but the options are there

Obey The Cat · Aug 30, 2007, 01:35 PM // 13:35

my god. as a fan of gw I want to own all gw dvd boxes okay?

so hard to understand? -.-

that still leaves pvp packs

Anet will most likely sell the map pack in the future via GWs store. Their entire revenue is based on these sales, so I don't see them not releasing something that would be purchased by such a large percentage of their market.

As for receiving it free, you're unlucky. As stated previously, whenever you make a purchase you're risking losing out to a promotion/discount price in the future. You've no ground to complain about that.

No, but that was your choice. You chose to own the DVD box rather than the mission pack. I guess you'll just have to live with it now.

Nabru Yar · Aug 30, 2007, 02:04 PM // 14:04

after acquiring 1 of each chapter x2 accounts, I've made the switch A-net store purchases from now on, lest my house be overrun by GW boxes.

HawkofStorms · Aug 30, 2007, 02:12 PM // 14:12

Exactly, the whole reason for this mission pack is to keep people from purchasing the box set since by just handing out the code on the internet, the company saves money on distribution.
