Since they are working on GW2 and thus soon they will stop support for GW1. I thought it would be keen if they would start putting the promotional and pre-release items into the marketplace to buy for a small fee like the 6 items you get in the game of the year edition upgrade (or is it 5? i forget).

I didn't have money at the time to get a nightfall pre-release so i was SOL on getting a soulbreaker and whatnot x.x Plus those other items you hear about other countries getting from their pre-releases and stuff makes me pretty envious.

Even the first GW pre-release weapons would be nice to have... an updated warpick perhaps. That was a neat hammer even if it wasn't that great.

I mean it's been a long time since that stuff has been released. Putting them on sale would give them a bit of extra cash for GW2 development, no? So we win and they win.

and yes I know you got them because of pre-orders but it's been quite a long time now... and frankly I have never seen a SINGLE person walking around with ANY of those old pre-order items.. not a SINGLE ONE. I don't see anyone walking around with a warpick or a chimeric prism or censor's icon or canthan targe.

No way no how, promotional items where there at the time for exactly that reason. To promote the game.

Fox Reeveheart · Sep 18, 2008, 03:00 AM // 03:00

ok so that is the promotional items. what about pre-release items? :O

See, thinking in that manner you're just saying "You weren't around or didn't have the money or just decide not to when they were around so you don't EVER get the chance to have them EVER".

I wouldn't mind if they added them.

I'm still missing a Chimeric Prism, War Pick and Ithas Bow to complete my /bonus collection.

I'm a collector and money-waster when it comes to my accounts, so I'd like to be able to pick up the pre-order NF key for the Soulbreaker and Sunspear. Maybe even the Captain America shield (Those of you that've never heard of the Capt. America shield, look up Canthan Targe on wiki, don't feel like posting link).

They should just put them in the ingame store as an option that will give you all the /bonus items.

Ariena Najea · Sep 18, 2008, 04:38 AM // 04:38

I'd pay $5 for the promotional items sure.

At $5 per set (ie Game of the Year, various Pre-Releases) probably not.

Yes, but still. Why not add it? Right now, you are stating an opinion. Not a fact.

Fine for me, but I would not use it. I'm sure there is some interest for it tho, and it may give ANet some extra income.

I actually still have 2 factory sealed censor's icon preorder boxes from the first GW release 3 1/2 years ago on the shelf behind me.

But some time into Guild Wars 2, they'd have little reason to keep promoting Guild Wars 1, especially with items that you can no longer obtain. I can't see the harm in this.

I would really love it if they would upgrade some to max as well.

I love the look of the Canthan targ, but it requires 3 different attributes to make use of it and its not even a max shield.

MithranArkanere · Sep 18, 2008, 02:02 PM // 14:02

People want them, they could make some money from that, and no one loses anything, since they have been exclusive for much more time than the BMP was.

ON top of that, I have Factions and Nightfall preorder bonuses, but NO ONE can have all Prophecies ones, since they depended on the region (each region had one different bonus item).

Everyone should have the right to access all content, since not everyone could, this would fix that.

People can still get Million or 2008 editions. Why not this?

pamelf · Sep 18, 2008, 02:28 PM // 14:28

Sure. I'll definitely sign this.

WRONG - They were not regional, they were distributed through different retailers. Best Buy, Gamestop, EB, CompUSA, all had their own exclusives, and all other retailers got the more common preorder. The only one that was specifically distributed to a region was the "chimeric prism", which was europe only. There are people that have all of the prophecies preorders. I am only missing the Prism. At one time I had stacks of all of them except the prism. I sold almost all of them about 2 years after the game came out. All I have left are the two I mentioned above.

MithranArkanere · Sep 18, 2008, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Anyways, you don't have all. That's the same.

/not signed. promotional is promotional. They already fckd it up with BMP. I felt cheated. Don't want to feel that way again.
