spamming the complete purchase button to no avail:P

Other than being a little slow, paying via Paypal worked fine. Not able to complete the account registration part though, getting a 502 server error.

Won't be able to buy it for 2 weeks, so probably won't get the full early access. Not sure i want to spend another €75 on a mmo, so i think i'll just get the standard digital edition.

bought and finished my registration! yeah boi!

Bought and registered. Just refresh if you get error 502, It took about 10 mins to reg. I went for the Standard edition. DE didn't entice me and CE is way too much.

Lol just did the same a minute ago, refreshing the 502 page worked. Standard Edition for me too, not bothered about a box or the digital extras.

I bet the shop will have juicy stuff to buy, can't imagine many could resist the micro transactions this game will offer

Well,I won't. I never bought mounts or pets from the Blizzard store. I always preferred to earn all that in the game.

But sure it says it's an elite skill, they don't start til lvl 30. Can't be any confusion about that.

hate to say it but it got me and lots of others all around..just check out the gw2 sites,lots talking about it...just have to read the "small print" next time...should have been stated a bit better in the offical gw 2 site though so there wound'nt be any "confusion" about it.

To be honest, I also expected a bit of backlash with people not realising they don't get the CE box today, just the beta code.

Andrew76

Any of you folks get an email with a download link for the client? Haven't got mine yet. I know we can't log in now anyway but still.

Getting the client now would be amazing. Rip open the .dat file, see what goodies await us!

I didn't buy anything in wow either but their stuff was very limited because you payed a sub. Gw2 will a much bigger selection of goodies like xp gainers and such because it's f2p, wow would never get away with allowing items like that to be bought.

jonneymendoza

as much as i really wanna get this game. i am not throwing my hard earned cash to arena.net until i get a confirmed release date.

for all we know, this game may not even come out this year.

Completionist

Deed done, Bought the standard version.

It was stated by a Employee that "they will release it when it is ready and the beta events will decide if it is ready." If all goes well on the first BWE then I think we could have a release date announcement on the 27th of April(GW1 Anniversary).

I am hoping for a end of june/early july release date as it gives enough time after the Diablo 3 launch to be safe while avoiding the dreaded MoP launch.

GREENGEKO

most of the gw2 sites are all about the pre purchase today but iv found one thats just blow me away...its got all the info about gw 2 in one easy to read page with tips/tricks ect..its too long to put here so heres the link....if its not here,you dont need to know it..report back what you think?

http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1058358-Guild-Wars-2-Mass-info-for-the-uninitiated

KilOit

mmo-champion was always the place to go for wow content, hopefully it will support gw2 same way

shootermacg

Well pre ordered the DE, looks like the best comprimise really.
I'm not 100% sure about the 1 class system though, half the fun for me is the gimmicky solo builds, they made guildwars something really special ^^.

Played a bit of pvp too back in the day, loved all the spike groups, really hope this is more of the same to be honest.

IRL_Sinister

Just booted up GW1 after reading the MMO post :>

TheDoc

Think I'm going to give this a go, granted its months away, I'll just pick it up on release,

Don't want to get stuck into reading all the **** about it, so that my hopes dont get raised toa point where its **** and I'm back to wow...

IRL_Sinister

This, imo, should start getting its own forum.

Still.....

CAN'T WAIT.

Ugh, it more then likely doesn't.

The typical boards gaming trend of " omfg this game is going to be the biggest thing ever" gets a forum, and then becomes a waste of space.

Wait till the games out, and is running a few months, and if the main MMO forum is swamped then it deserves its own.

Creating divisional sub fora without content dilutes the forum and its overall content.

You only expand when something starts hogging up the mainspace

uncle_sam_ie

I never likeed PVP but, I'm really looking forward to world PVP.

Where are the spots to pre order?

I've been buying mostly in HMV these days, tend to do some decent prices.

Will want it launch day

Well, I bought it now because I want early access and to secure my toons name. I have no doubt's this will be an epic mmo.

Doesn't seem to secure it though, 2 people with same name ends up using the crappy number after your name, bollox if you ask me, bet this is a money racket to get payed name changes since who the hell wants a 4 digit number after their name like some retarded email address.
Could of read it wrong but that's what i got from it.

Got it in the email after i got the pre purchase

"This is a unique account identifier, consisting of a name and a randomly generated four-digit code. You'll use it during the Guild Wars 2 Beta Event, on the Beta Forums, and in Guild Wars 2 after launch. The name and four-digit code will be your handle on the Beta Forums. The four-digit code does not appear in the game itself unless another player chooses the same name, in which case both your name and the four-digit code will appear."

uncle_sam_ie

"and in Guild Wars 2 after launch" missed reading that bit. Well, that sucks alright.

delta36

It says it's an "account identifier" as opposed to a character name though.

Does say ingame though, i don't know, i'm sure it's been brought up on the GW2 forums already, must have a gander.

My thoughts exactly. My account name might be stuck with Eoin1234 for example, but my character can still be called Eoin.

Isn't that just like wow then? I have an account name shared across all my characters that is used to contact me in game (in game customer service for example) yet i could be playing on a character with a different name.

WoW tried to implement something similar with a Battle.net name that would link to your real name profile to stop trolls on the forums but was never a ingame name.
You can't have the same name twice on a server and numbers aren't allowed for character names in WoW.

The email is worded very poorly, if they're trying to say your account name is using the 4 digit code and not the character they shouldn't mention "ingame". when they say that i think KilOit has my handle and the name everyone see's me as ingame and not Stephen which would be my account name as per say.

Has this been asked before:

can you happily swap servers for free like you could on GW1 or is it like most mmo's where you have to pay to transfer your character to another server?

Appears you can swap at the click of a button, for free.

There is a time limit on how many you can do per day, and are restricted from partaking in certain events for a pre-determined time from moving afaik

TheDoc

Never had issues with people using my toon names either.

But I'd be seriously questioning the credability of an mmo that lets people have names

what about WvWvW? wouldnt that create inblanace as people can potentially join the server thats currently winning on a WvWvW match?

MikeyJoyce

You choose a Home Server that server is the server you fight WvWvW for basically your home realm. You can freely travel between the other servers and play with friends or whatever but if you want to fight WvWvW you will only be able to fight for your home server.

You CAN change your home server via the in game cash shop with in game gold or with purchased gems. Also after changing servers you will have a cool-down for a undetermined amount of time where you are not able to enter WvWvW so no it is not possible just to move to the winning side.

Also your home server is the server you select at the start but if your server is full you will be overflowed into an available slot on another server. Then you are placed into a Que so you can play away and when your server gets a spot open it will pop up on screen and allow you to instant join your Home server group.

Also when server names get annouced it would be awesome if everyone joined the same Home server for WvWvW

Hope that clears some things up.
