Old news...
We've known about the Ultimate edition for a week or so now and the preorders for a couple of months

I wonder if Anet will make it so we can add it to our current accound and get like 6-8 character slots, and all the ingame extras added to our current account.

Thanks!

What's so Ultimate about it, if it won't include the 4th chapter?

Nope, nothing ultimate about it... Sheesh

This reminds me of Window Vista Ulitmate Edition.

. You really don't get where I'm going at? The stuff in the box is really neat, like the hard cover book. But why call something ultimate, when 3 months later, a new addition to the game will be released. IMO you should release an Ultimate Edition, when they are DONE with GW1, and bundle all games in it. I'm sure all the people who are jumping with joy about this release, will be the first one complaining when ANet releases another 'ultimate-like' box that DOES include the 4th Chapter.Other than that, it really does sound like a nice box

Even though others have linked to the page with the pic, I'm posting here so it's easier for us to bask in its glory.
The box actually says the "Legacy Edition". And I can't quite tell what the first word at the top is, it almost looks kinda like (ascension), then alliance abyss
I'm starting to get concerned that so many UK sites have it listed and no US sites do. Maybe it is intended as an EU only release. Gaile has mentioned a couple times how the different regions market the product as they see fit for their region(which is why the EU Factions CE got a cloth picture and gets the plastic serial key cards..). I think the US didn't even get the Prophecies special edition 'til a few months after EU did...
It doesn't say it anywhere, that's just some people's wishful thinking poised to be dashed upon the rocks.

Pretty much every product in existence has that disclaimer.
And it's pretty much standard procedure to know that the content list isn't 100% correct this long before release.

It sounds and looks awesome, but I don't think I'll spend anymore money on GW than I already have.. Although if there is a code for the Divine Aura, then I'd reconsider, but I doubt it'll be included. And, I find it lame that Anet will include yet another mini.. Just give a Varesh and a Kunnie..
lucifer_uk
Hmmm... i really want all the extras but i'm unsure what to do with the games.
I already had a 2nd account gifted to me with Prophecies, Factions and NF.
So this means a 3rd account? :-/... guess it means extra storage... or perhaps a gift to a friend.

Thy Shadow Wolf
I'll definitely buy it when it comes out for the skill pins (hoping they're the OG 8) and all the little bonus features. For the account, I can give it to a friend so it's all good

Why would anyone buy this or the trial trilogy knowing its just gonna end when GW2 comes out?

Curses... I bought NF CE...
EDIT: WhAt TeH hEcKz?!? Ninety freaking pounds??? No, I probably wouldn't have bought it, anyway...
EDIT numbah 2: Oh... All three campaigns? I see... I still wouldn't get it, as I already have Factions and Nightfall, so it would be £90 out the window.

Sir Skullcrasher
How much would this cost and when is the release date? I might consider getting it.
CorporateGhosts
HMM. It seems as if some people already have nightfall and are considering buying the ultimate edition. Maybe I'll take the access key off your hands if you buy the ultimate box (since you already have a NF access key.)
I would love having one of those 2 GB usb keys.

Yes im extremely wet right now.
I hope it will at least contain the eye of the north expansion, or some way to allow you to get it for free, especially after paying that much for it.

Is it just me, or was all the info on what comes in it erased?
The sites used to say stuff about a mini, USB drive, CE access keys, atr book, blah blah.
Now they just say "*includes chapter 1, factions, nightfall" or whatever..
I'm not going to preorder something (especially 100 bucks!) that they don't have more definate info on.
My speculation is that it'll be all three CE's in one box. Don't think they'd re-release something like that? Think again... Many other companies have done it.
Reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They released a collector's box set of the 7 seasons one year that was supposed to be like limited edition with audio commentary and such. Then like 2 years later they released the ULTIMATE collectors box set, which was the same 7 seasons again but this time with a few more audio commentarys and features.

Grr, you Prophecies CE whinin' people are still ruining my day, 2 years later....
What if this most recent iteration of a new Collectors Edition is EXTREMELY limited, like, say 5000 copies and you don't get one.. Will you continue to beotch then, even more so??
Some things are 'limited' and 'collector's items' for a reason...
If you didn't support Guildwars in the beta and thru pre-orders early on, then by purchasing the Collector's Edition of Prophecies, why do you think you're entitled to whine??
Advertising for Guild Wars was all over the place, a year before it was released, all over popular gaming sites like GameSpot.com, etc... All you had to do was support these new developers trying to start a new, revolutionary game and support them early.. Preorder, or buy their CE.. Some of us did.
Sorry, I feel no sympathy for you, and hope the 'Divine Aura' remains an exclusive for early supporters of the game. Life ain't always fair, get used to it.
