I might be interested in a superior coffee cup of holding

I'd probably buy the lot except Plushies (purely because EVERYONE does plushies).

A massive cloth world map would be great, showing the exactly positions of the continents.

I've got two t-shirts, so a hat would be pretty awesome to go with them.

I voted on the pc accessories even though I just bought a new gaming keyboard and mouse. At the time I was looking for a new set a couple months ago my original intention was to buy a gw themed gaming keyboard and mouse but after some research it seemed to me the one for sale was a bit flimsy cheap and ended up buying a $200 set from logitech. Maybe you guys could get logitech which, in my opinion makes nice equipment to design some higher end gear. I believe it would be good business for both of you.

I would like to see a wall tapestry of high quality. Yes im a 31 yr old nerd who would like to have campaign maps on my wall but I wont have cheap paper posters on my walls looking like teeny bopper decor.

Also thanks for the latest update it was a breath of fresh air.

Action Figures (Ghostly Hero!)
PC gear
Coffee Mug
World Map
Plushies

I would love to have a poster of my character, would have to make a way to pose them to get a capture of it.

On the same note I would also buy PC stuff, again designing a wallpaper or screensaver where you could have your character or others, and have the ability to pose them would be cool.

I don't need keyboards or mice, I do have the zboard which would be cool to have a GW2 keyset when the game comes out.

Action figure FTW.

If you could customize the head/hair like in-game that would be awesome (but hard to do) Charr, Tengu & Forgotten are a must.

I picked the Mugs and T-shirt options, mainly because you could have a whole load of phrases on them, such as:

Level 15 Warrior LF Partner

This Coffee is "Searing Flames" level of hot.

I'm so hot, i have 16 in Fire Magic.

I'm wielding a Chat-up line of Cheesyness.

I'm Targetting myself.

Oh the funny phrases possible.

Mousepad and action figure for sure.

Maybe T-shirt or coffee cup (did not vote for in poll).

Basically, anything I can imagine sitting next to my computer is fair game!

I voted for all except the first 2.

Please if you do offer this don't offer it thru the online store only, there people that live outside the us too......... there are also people without Credit Cards , yes most people outside the US don't have Credit Card and last but not least offer it international too, cause the world is more then just the USA.

(Yes i tried looking for Visa Gift card and no i haven't found any yet , here in the Netherlands )

Other unspecified games company's of similar type of games *coughWoWcough* distribute their merch via company's such as Hot Topic.

Having a multi national company to print and distribute these goods is a must. As I don't think I will be paying extra shipping and the import tax for deliveries from the US to the UK.

Pretty much any of the above is a possibility except clothes (sorry, it's just not my style...I wear ties more often than hoodies these days). I voted mouse pad, because that's easy and I already have gaming-related mouse pads, so I probably would actually buy it.

I'd say action figures, BUT with all the diversity between chars this will be a pain to keep all satisfied.

So I have to say "Statues Of The Gods"
something that all players can relate to, add a little extra figurine to the statues as a small bonus

Grenth - small flesh golem
Balthazar - small (see through) ghostly hero
Lyssa - small Gwen
Dwayna - small brother mhenlo (we all love him)
Melandru - small Melandru's stalker

Grenth and Balthazar you know are gonna be bestsellers, followed up by Dwayna and Melandru, and since everybody wants that Gwen, Lyssa will sell good aswell.

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

I would definitely buy a window cling to put in my car. My husband would kill me if I tried to put a sticker on it. I'd probably buy a mouse pad, if it was good quality and entertaining. Anything else is up in the air for me. Gotta watch my money, y'know?

Meh...I thought you were talking about in-game items. I wouldn't puchase any of that stuff.

If you were to sell in-game items, I would love to buy:

Upgrade to collectors edition: Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall
Additional Storage (instead of additional Character slot)
The ability for all of my maps to be uncovered for all of my characters (If I have GMC for one character, they should all get to see the map, but not recieve the title)
The ability for all unlocked skills to be availible to all my characters
Miniatures not availble in North America (Oni, Naga, Kanaxi etc)

Not so much Action figures but maybe figurines like those Anime ones... >.> I find the joints on action figures to be very aesthetically unattractive.

BUT!! Action figures and coffee mugs for me I won't mind the clothes also... just I probably won't wear them out... ever.

That 'Charr sez Rawr' T-shirt rocks. My girlfriend would love it.

I voted T-shirt, Action Figures and computer accessories. If you really do distribute these I'll be sad I'm not currently in America. :]
