Excellent idea and one of the things that has been requested in a recent thread of mine by numerous ppl.

CE upgrades, minis, etc would be things I would want to buy. Weapons/upgrades maybe. That wouldn't be as bad as gold, but I think even that may have a huge impact on the in-game economy.

As far as t-shirts, mouspads, etc.... all things not "in-game" ... NO THANKS... that is just... yuck.

Stuff i would like to see.

Pets, you could buy any pet you want, they would start out at lv 1 though.

Extra Storage Space.

Bags, 20 slot bags.

Upgrade to collector's editions.

Mini pets from the magazine's but not mini pets from the birthdays.

Scrolls, similar to the scrolls you could purchase for double exp, but instead make it so, it would "double rep, faction" scrolls.

But I agree, they need to add some more stuff in there before the promotion ends, i only spent 4.99 so far on that upgrade to game of the year edition to get those weapons haha. I don't even use the character slots now, so no need to purchase more character slots.

Wouldn't want to see Gold/plat to buy, or weapons. Perhaps a special armor you could purchase from the online store.

They have already stated they are not giving any collector stuff again.

But they could add something, like a new PvP pack, with the new heroes, unlocking the GW:EN skills, allowing PvP characters change pets... and some more stuff.

Nice ideas! In fact if they were to sell a GW computer case skin or something along those lines I sure would buy it!

And for the record. I'm not sure but don't they already sell in-game weapons? The preorder bonus ones, anyway?

i'd like to buy "CE Account Upgrades", like factions you'd get the holograms and the mini kuang, etc. Along with being able to buy the mini pets from promotions ( magazine promos and that,NOT Comptetion, as your still more or less buying the mini if you buy form a mag), a max of maybe .€5-10 on the CE packs, less for minis maybe.

ahh,just saw it above me.

i'd like ot see:

Armour packs ( shown all the armours beforehand)

Buying the headgear to previous events (Whiches hat etc.) ie unlocking it on account so it can be crafted, Sold Seperatly, maybe €1-2 per item or that)

i would hate if they sold gold online.

Simple

CE Upgrade.

How about just adding the bonus mission pack so people can actually buy it? Having to buy unnecessary items to accumulate $29 USD (26e/£17) is annoying (yes I am aware its a special offer when you buy stuff in the online store save your flames trolls). For the most part many of us don't have any need/use for extra character slots or subsequent chapters.

I've asked around and have read this and other forums. Plenty of people are actually willing to pay for this BMP. If the move is to keep this BMP special or w/e like the collector edition stuff then thats fine. At least add the new pvp packs or something.

If the goal is to promote the online store, is it possible to put more stuffs to sell in the online store? Stuffs like /bonus weapons, minipets, hats, dances, auras, and whatever etc adds more variety than just offering extra mule storage.

I'm very sorry, and yes, I have asked about this many times. We do not have team members available to create the items to sell in the store. The promotion is as it will remain.

I hope that in the future we will have some of the items you ask about. But know that we will never sell collector's edition exclusives like the auras or signature dances.

i would like to see more stuff too, i don't really need anymore char slots

/Signed for more stuff

In order to get the mission bonus pack, you have to buy stuff on the online store within the next ten days.

And that Gaile, is why this was a badly thought out promotion. A promotion for people to buy from the ingame store which essentially sells nothing. If you guys knew that you didn't have the staff to create things for the ingame store, you really should have thought of that before you created a promotion that required you to buy from just that ingame store.

Nah, its a GOOD promotion from a.net's perspective. The promotion was set up to make you buy GW:EN online, thus saving a.net money since they don't have to pay overhead costs.

I mean, yes, hats, and ingame items and stuff would be nice. But it would have cost a.net money to produce said products/code the ingame items.

Thus, this promotion may be "bad" for the community, but for A.net it's great. Its free money.

yet there is still no alt way of paying in the online shop other then credit card

(i know about prepaid cards,but im waiting for sms)

How long could it take small team in spare time to create little things?
or how many staff and how long did it take ot create the BMP?

i dont know much about games dev yet,(want ot later) but wouldnt it make sense to:

Make little things like above posters
-> Sell in online shop
-> Get Money
-> Use Money to hire more staff + prob mooney to spare?

Wouldnt that get you to roughly where you would be without the extras but with a happier community?

ie, 4 million copies sold,
lets say thats 1 million people with all 4 campaigns, and lets us say 5% have current access to an online shop(SMS would create alot more access imo,most peopel have a mobile,alot more then CC imo) and buy somthing for $5

wouldn't that be $250,000
which i would imagine would get a nice net profit, adn those seem bad case conditions above imo.

again i dont know much about development and buisness, so i might be completly off^^

p.s.
would there ever be an update or online store thing with the mooonwalk or the hammer dance?(as in hammer time)
