This is another question for clarification.

The $29 can of course be spent before July 5th.
This is just to be sure.

thank you.

I believe July 5th is actually the start date, so pretty sure no is the answer.

Only between July 5th and October 31st.

how i'm going to get this?
this actually is a very bad idea, i got all parts of GW already, so i cant buy them at the store, i got nearly all pvp skills unlocked, so i'm not going to buy a pvp only expansion. i got 9 character slots, i barely use 5 of them (the other 4 chars are storage). so i'm not going to buy more character slots.
i'm going to buy GW:EN in the shop, already got it pre-ordered.
so actually, i can buy only 1 thing in the store, a GW:EN pre-release bonus pack, how am i going to spend €30 with it?

are there coming more things to buy in the GW online store? i realy want the extra mission pack.

I ask this because, currently, many of us who are extremely interested in spending $30 in the online store have nothing to purchase (we insist on receiving a box with our GW:EN purchase). Thanks.

Tamuril elansar, if you read the entire thread, you'd see that this question was already asked.

Whether it is a bad idea or not should be discussed in the other thread though. This thread is just for neutral questions.

Hey if anyone of you guys can confirm or deny that those Visa or American Express credit card gift cards, can work or not? By purchasing something with one of those things; I just sent in a huge letter to the GW support team about the question.

I know Gaile you have confirmed it, but sometimes the clarification from their side is the real confusion. I need to see if a customer has already done this type of transaction or not.

Moiax · Jul 06, 2007, 09:39 PM // 21:39

I have personally used a visa gift card to make a purchase in the store before. Most of them require an activation (online) to allow for internet purchases, so that there is a name and address tied to the card.

vergerefosh · Jul 06, 2007, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Will there be a possibility to apply the purchase retroactively, so that people who have bought products through the store equal to or greater than the requisite value can still get it without having to purchase more? Enquiring as There are no further items I really desire through the store (got games, enough slots, GotY, not interested in PvP editions) and I prefer a box when I buy a game.
Alternatively, will this content be available in some form of pre-order for EotN like with Nightfall, that can be purchased either via the in-game store, or that can be actually physically purchased as I believe that would satisfy a number of people, myself included

Neo Nugget · Jul 06, 2007, 10:35 PM // 22:35

I dont see any other way they can make purchases retroactive besides those email receipts they send you. :O

thats pretty much where i am with 2 accounts

. and i really want guildwars in a box, as the box set is so nice, book of artwork etc, and the box is often cheaper than buying it from the store anyways.

the concept is pretty dodgy, just let us buy it for a small amount instead, much better

I'm not certain, but I think you will be ok just inputting your debit as though it were a credit.

This works in the states. However not in Most of Europe and Canada. Over here we dont have the Visa/Master card stickers on our cards

In which case you could possibly depending on where you are located buy a pre-paid cc as gaile mentioned....through a quick google search I know Canada does indeed have them.

My questions are:

Will players who buy the retail (boxed) version of GW:EN have any way to access the bonus mission pack via the regular retail channels?
Will players who buy the retail (boxed) version of GW:EN get the story of what happened to Gwen after the searing?

My favour greatly goes to boxed retail products. I'm very much interested in the total storyline and unable to buy via the PlayNC online store.

No

and...

No (not unless someone tells you who got the bonus material?)

At least not at this time nor does it seem to be in plans for the future. Its pretty much been said that this is a ONE TIME promotional offer available EXCLUSIVELY through the online store.

I hope this answers your questions.

I was always wondering who the person was in charge of telling everyone what can be discussed and where. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I'm just asking for clarities sake.

Yes. I was told otherwise, earlier, but in fact you DO get a credit towards the purchase of the game in the in-game store!

A follow up question for you or Gaile:

I realize the "buy $30 worth of stuff get bonus pack free" offer is a one time thing, but once the bonus pack is out (and by which time the period of the promotion will be over), has it been said whether the bonus pack will be available for purchase from the online store and/or other retail outlets?

Malice Black · Jul 06, 2007, 11:41 PM // 23:41

Not a bad deal then. Unfortunately I have no reason to spend money in the online store as I have more then enough char slots and I already own all 3 campaigns on all my accounts << 1 char over 3 accounts...will the online store buy back an account or 2? ;-) >>

If you had bothered to read HIS question he asked about RETAIL options for obtaining the Bonus material.
