Anyway, TaCktiX, you were very resourceful, and very non-criticizing, and I do appreciate that! The best means to purchase these days is through the in-game store, and not the PlayNC store. The safeguards are still in place, but existing customers will have an easier experience in the in-game store. Edit to add: PayPal?

LOL
Think Gaile fell asleep.
I personally bought 3 character slots and the Game of the Year add-on, making my character tally 14 with 3 ever-changing PvP slots. Yes, I love Guild Wars.
One suggestion I'd have for adding to the store is adding Divine Aura to the upgrades list. The original GW:CE is no longer in stores, is super-rare to find without the key already attached to the account, and I for one would easily pony up the $5-10 for the perk (was considering paying $100 for a copy of GW:CE on ebay, until some idiots inflated it to $202). To some extent people like me who came in a year (or two) late and have loved GW ever since got gipped. I wasn't there when it started, and yet I'd like to support/get perks just as much as the next guy.

Now..about Gaile's post. Give the girl her room, she does type a bunch I'm sure :P
I'm not sure what to think about it. I would have preferred, I think, to have been able to explore it with my own character, but they do sound as though they are being fairly creative in the gameplay aspect which ought to be fun. Its just the incentive to replay any of the four areas I think would come from being able to take your character in, not to mention drops and rewards (?). Falls squarely in the "wait and see" category, but I am looking forward to it.

They have Halloween coming up. That will probably delay the release.
I just ordered gwen throught teh in game store, was easy as hell and got access to the game right away. Im buying the rest of my HW stuff through teh online store cause its just easy. I honestly dont know what people are saying when they comment about it being hard but maybe its different with different credit cards.

greens probably, minipet would be unlikely, since the missions are spread out over the campaigns (and form what i can gather) with nothing really in common. so unless the reward for finishing all those is a birthday present that gives you a random one i think minipets are unlikely.
maybe some kind of special armor, a single piece or maybe even a set, who knows.
about the whole paypal thing, i looked into it once before i got my visa card. but it's not really an option, if you don't have a credit card to use to transfer money its really not any use.
Where I live there were no other options available to me than getting a credit card or getting in touch with someone who had one to even use paypal, so you might as well just get the creditcard and use that in the store.
I think a lot of people automatically assume that what they can get in their country is available everywhere else, at the same price, which is far from the truth, there aren't a lot of things which are globally available, at the same price.

I see much speculation on what types of items will be dropped in these missions -
You will not be using your own characters, so, how will you get any drops at all?
