New update: Shop's Back

Posted here by Gaile :
edit : johnmedgla beat me to it.

The store was never officially released. It was put up for testing which it obviously failed. I would expect the store to be back before the Nightfall PvP event.

peeps they are still experimenting this thing. Do not forget that there is a security issue involved with CCs and other payement methods.

On another note: who on earth is gonna buy 26 EXTRA char slots?? I mean, 6 from prophecies, 2 from factions and now 2 more from nightfall. This means there is no real need to buy more than 3 slots (1 for pvp use). Of course everyone has the right to see what suits him/her best.

Lmfao, its been removed :P

Never officially released??!! What just happened then? Looked to me like it was released and then un-released... Never released, would mean we never saw it.

lol looks as if they werent ready. the new update took the online store option off. at least it did for me :P

They've just removed the link to the store...

"a little tweaking" could mean later today depending on how many lines of code they decided needed tweaking. Only time will tell.

I think they just underestimated the server load with everyone trying to access the same thing. o.o

I think they should be rolling it out in time for the PvP weekend.

Did you find any mention of the store on Guildwars.com?

Nope... then it wasn't an official release.

Just because the feature is there doesn't mean it's released and working. It's called Beta Testing.

Side Note: I'm starting to get the impression that people don't read the whole thread before posting with the amount of... "lol! the stores gone" posts that are happening one after the other.

Is it 10 bucks for 2 slots or 1?

ah man thats saddening- i figured the large volume of people trying to access it had bugged it up.

Keep in mind that at the time of the "removal update" its only lunchtime in ANet land (12pm PST)... so id say its quite possible that within 5 hours, it could get resolved.

After all- once they get it working- everyone at ANet will be buying a new car... Id say they are trying their absolute hardest right now- they could stand to make 10 million dollars today.

I love ANet, i want to work for them.

One

Sometimes even official releases aren't mentioned on guildwars.com until a few hours after the release.
In my expierence its actually most of the time.

i hope they get this resolved today, i've already set aside $30 to buy the extra slots.

Well, according to Gaile who was online a little while ago it was not an official release. I guess people are just going to have to draw their own conclusions in regards to this

uh oh. before she said, "not soon, very soon."

now it's back to soon again

It's back up. At least it is here in Malta (EU)

Still getting nothing but code 42 though

the reason they would call is beta is just to save their butts if something goes wrong. if after a little while the beta still works, then they'll call it official ;P. in other words... it makes no difference to me. If it's released and it works, then yeah! if it doesnt work, then fix it. that's really all that matters anyway.

From the screenshot posted, it looks like at least SOME people had access to the store (i got the 042 myself)

Did they get character slots?

I hope they implement a way to change the login screen to fit personal preference (i hate the whale tail) and pick which music track to play too omg =)
