I would like to be able to pay for new names and new hair-styles for my characters.

Shakkara · Jul 12, 2007, 09:21 AM // 09:21

1) Plastic surgery for my main char, I don't like the eyes that much, she looks sleepy all the time, just like me IRL, haha. So I'd like to buy the one-time ability to get a new face (there's magic in game so maybe give an ingame item like the grey giant toy to get a magician to give me a facelift).

2) The pre-order and coke items. Captain america shield, Chimeric Prism, that stuff. Since I live in the Netherlands I could not obtain them, even though I have been playing in the betas and preordered a collector's edition as soon as I could. Since the 1m edition items are in the shop too, why not these?

3) Limited Edition minipets, only available for 2 weeks or so. I don't like minipets that much but it's a nice thing to sell to the loyal playerbase. And I wouldn't mind buying one if that gives me the bonus pack for free later on.

4) More 'starter' type weapons like the pre-order/coke/CE items, with unique skins.

5) Special guild cape symbols/decorations (like trimmed capes but noticably different so the current trims remain unique) purchasable with whole guild so each player can contribute a few bucks and the decoration appears when enough money has been raised.

6) More storage!!

1. More Storage, again we do this already by buying character slots as mules, why not just let us pay for it?

2. More mission packs, small cheap expansion packs and missions will be a way to keep GW going even when GW2 comes out.

3. Obviously unique weapon/armor packs could work as well, but this might fundamentaly change the business model GW has.

4. Non in game stuff, i.e. physical things people can order, posters, collectables, etc.

Anphobia · Jul 12, 2007, 11:56 AM // 11:56

I'd go for the option to change a characters hair or face, a lot of people have been crying out for it.

Other than that, Storage space and maybe some exclusive already customised items (So they can't be traded).

pamelf · Jul 12, 2007, 01:45 PM // 13:45

Storage space definitely, and I'd most certainly going for some ACTUAL merchandise, like hoodies, mugs etc....

I would like to buy storage space too.

I'm not against actual merchandise, like mugs etc. I think however this is less profitable for Anet. It will take time and people to send the goods or hire a company for that part. Also other companies would have to make the stuff for Anet. Not much profit imo versus software packs which Anet can make themselves.

Since collector's edition of Guild Wars is no longer available it would be nice if people could pay the difference and upgrade for the divine aura. No harm to players that were fortunate enough to be able to purchase collector's edition as they still received the other bonus content and the rest of us that want the aura wind up paying the same price...

Series · Jul 12, 2007, 06:05 PM // 18:05

Anet isn't that bright if you ask me...

People crave to give them money and they don't give them a means to spend it...

heh, only thing they need to add to fix a lot of things (but it'll never happen) is start selling gold in the official store.

Mordakai · Jul 12, 2007, 07:22 PM // 19:22

If you could simply buy them all, it would make them a lot less special, same goes for the dances and special aura. These things should be kept exclusive.

EDIT: To Clarify..

I agree that having the special things, such as the divine aura in the store is probably a bad idea. People who paid extra for them or were there for that event will feel slighted.

I missed the first halloween event and would love to get the hats that were there.

I'd like to set the pets for sale though

or more storage...and really this "bonus mission" pack should be way less then "spend 30 bucks". Try "spend 15 bucks".

They said they Anet said they were going to add it regardless and this was back when it was only Prophecies.There really isn't much you can ad to the online store they won't permit.

Blackest Rose · Jul 12, 2007, 10:38 PM // 22:38

Outside of real world there should be a lot more bling you can buy - people will spend money on it.

I would get divine aura - but everything will sell - bonus dances, new special emotes that do weird and wonderful things...extra emotes etc..

I agree that Anet are missing out on a big opportunity to capitalize on this - incremental small payments are the future....

fortunately the devs have already flatly stated that ingame CE items like DIVINE AURA will not be offered.

the AURA was the ONLY reason i got it as i didnt need the rest of the box items.

That would indeed harm us as the CE is a limited pressing, in offering it again the divine aura becomes more common and less special. That's hurting. End of discussion.

I completely agree. CEs are CEs for a reason. It's a limited amount of them and by allowing the special things from the CEs to be bought/used by everyone would make it beyond pointless to do.
