Game of the Year 2008 Upgrade Information

What exactly is new fire imp a new hero or similar to Gwen in pre?

^ It's a summoned creature to fight with you.

Just to clarify something for me, is the only thing the '08 upgrade adds the new fire imp for retail versions of the GoTY? Btw, what's the price? I'm just curious.

It's $4.99 USD to add a Fire Imp to you account if you have already bought all the other ways to get it.

Pardon me, but it's late and I'm tired. I've got all the Games-Prophecies,Factions, NF, and EOTN-and the only thing I'm tempted to buy online would be some extra character slots.

Does this mean I won't get that Fire Imp?

And would I get that Imp if I purchased extra character slots?

Because, in all truth, that just about the only thing I'm looking to buy now...

if you buy the Game of the Year edition upgrade, you can get the IMP

orjust go into the ingame store and check to see if you have the 2008 upgrade, if you do, log onto a character and type /bonus in the chat window and the Fire Imp thingy will appear

We apologize that this has been so confusing.

Currently, not everyone will be able to see the 2008 Upgrade in the in-game store. The only people who will see the Game of the Year 2008 Upgrade in the in-game store are people who have purchased a retail box copy of the Game of the Year Edition of Guild Wars.

Since you are in Europe, you do not see the Game of the Year 2008 Upgrade, you see the 1 Million Edition Upgrade.

More information on the European release is here.

Add me to the confused list.

I bought the Prophecies GOTY edition back in 2006 and if I go to the online store all I see is the GOTY edition with "fire imp" included in it. When i click on it, it says already purchased.

Yet I do not have the Fire imp ingame.....and before you start, Yes I did type /bonus on a Level 11 character. I received a bunch of bonus weapons in my inventory, but no imp.

Hi TheRaven:

If you purchased the GOTY in 2006 at a bricks-and-mortar store, you should be seeing the GOTY 2008 Upgrade, with an option to purchase it for $4.99 to add the Fire Imp to your account.

If you purchased the GOTY from the in-game store, you're correct: you should see it as purchased, and you should get the Imp when you type "/bonus".

Could you submit a ticket to support so they can start doing some research on possible causes for this? I'll let them know that there are some problems for some players on getting the Imp. There might be a bug that we don't know about yet.

EDIT: Raven, I have sent you a PM with some further instructions. Basically, it would help Support a lot with your problem if you submitted a screenshot of the Manage Access Keys screen.

Thanks,

So, since I have already bought all the games when they originally came out and since I have not bought any of them through your store or PlayNC.com, I will only get the Fire Imp if I buy something a 2.nd time!
Guess I will have to live without the little critter!

Will we be getting either box in Australia? EB Games (the distributer listed on the "Where to Buy" page) doesn't have a record of either pack, and I've got a friend wanting one.

No, its just a lil upgrade to your account in the ingame store, an unnecessary, but still very nice one...


PS: Guys, I'm sure you'll all agree that Regina has posted a lot of good helpful information in this thread and about this and I'd like to say thanks to her... Who's with me?

My collegue got these products:

Guild Wars 2006 (Retail, with bonus weapons)
Guild Wars Factions (Retail)
Guild Wars Nightfall (Retail)
Guild Wars Eye of the North (Retail)
All skill unlock packs (In-game store)

And he got no fire imp. I think this is not really fair. Please consider to change this.

By the way: I got the imp myself.
(GW Special Edition RT, Factions CE, Nightfall CE, GW:EN RT, Weapon pack, (Online store), Char slots (Online store))

Just checked i can buy the fire imp.. just i dont need it. 10 out of my 11 char is lvl20.

I've got the 4 campaign, millenium edition upgrade and bonus pack.

My gf has the GW: props GotY european edition with the bonus weapons in a shop, retail.
She bought all chapters + EotN in a shop as well.
No upgrade available, no fire imp either... Weird. And I'm not spending €5,- on something you can't use anymore as soon as you reach level 20 either.

I bought exactly the same as her, only MY props is the very first one from 2005. I upgraded to the GotY in the online store for the bonus weapons and the free BMP (along with 3 char slots), and I got the imp, but can't use it as all my chars are lvl 20... :/

Ty for the clarification Regina. I purchased a retail GotY, that's why I can see the Million Edition upgrade. It's strange that there are different names if you're in the USA or Europe!

I think this is really unfair towards the people who bought the GOTY (and all the other campaigns) in a store, and not through the ingame-store. We people who bought it in a normal store might even paid more than those through the ingame-store, and now you ask us even more money for this imp, while other people who also bought the same GOTY edition but through the ingame store just get it for free...

I'm not really looking to get the imp but, thought I would post this glitch

I added the GOTY (retail) to my account (I already had prophecies but wanted the weapons)

However, I do not see the GOTY 2008 upgrade in the ingame store (instead it shows only the GOTY - not the upgrade). Also, my manage keys screen does not show the GOTY

But manage keys DOES show all the GOTY weapons as being unlocked.

thought you might want to look into that glitch since it may be what is causing the confusion for several people here.

I bought the GOTY game at EBgames like.....2 years ago and just created a separate account with it. I can't get purchase the fire imp by itself, i'm assuming since I already have the standard GoTY edition from a store. Not that I was planning on buying it, since it's just a spare, but I thought it was weird that I didn't see the 08 upgrade.(unless I missed something, then.....>.>)

Does the bonus mission pack doesn't count for this one?
