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)

I agree with all this, especially he upgrades to Collector's. I now wish I had the collector's editions of Prophecies and especially Factions (Kuunavang!), but at the time I wasn't enough of a veteran of the game to want them. I wouldn't buy another whole account, because I want to keep my characters and such linked, but I'd gladly pay the difference and maybe ~$10 more to be able to retroactively upgrade.

Also, seconding or thirding the skill pins. I'd buy that stuff so fast. I also like the idea of the figurines, depending on what they're of. I'd go for figurines of certain enemies or monsters, but I'd be willing to drop quite a pretty penny for a custom figurine of my Mesmer. If A-net could make figurines of people's precious babies like mine, they'd be lining their pockets with gold.

Lastly, if we get t-shirts, can one have a picture of Rurik on the front and say "As a boy, I spent much time in these lands" and on the back say "Look at them now"?

But yeah, I'd buy pretty much all of the stuff listed; these are just my favorites.

No, being able to upgrade to CEs would devalue the fact they are special or limited editions.

T-shirt:

I traded in an Armbrace of truth and all i got was this stupid t-shirt.

I'd buy a T-shirt but PLEASE make it humorous.

Something like...

"I got it under control.

I have mending."

I chose the following, which are items I would buy, probably in multiples depending on offerings:

Baseball Cap (cotton, low crown, adjustable)
Hoodie / Sweatshirt (both)
T-shirt (white and black)
Coffee Mug (really for hot chocolate)

The T-shirts need to be available in medium. At 5'3" and 110lbs, even a large can look like sleepwear (at 50+ I don't expect a growth spurt).

This is wonderful. As soon as they said ArenaNet had formed a marketing dept., I began wondering what would become available. You've grown up, so I can now indulge the child in me (beyond my Eeyore collection).

I'm too excited at the moment to think, so will have to come back with suggestions.

Also, posters, and PC stuff would be cool

I need some totally wicked action figures. This Firiona Vie figure has been strutting around on my desk for years now with no competition. I need a Devona, Cynn, or Eve to knock her down a few pegs.

(And a Charr plushie too plzthzx~)

That option would be the one where you stay the hell out of this thread if you don't want to give some positive feedback.

Plushies would be awesome (the biggest monsters/famous monsters)

OR OMG

Customizable character figurines. I'm talking about filling out an order such as...
(Profession)
(Sex)
(Hair #)
(Face)
(Skin color)
(Armor)
(Weapon)
(Dye)

I'd pay good money for that. It might take a while but you could definetly make them expensive and hardcore players would buy them

Man, I haven't even seen a mousepad since the days of dial-up and ball mice.

Voted for coffee mug. Far too insecure for anything wearable. >.>

Augh, I missed the coffee mug option. Definitely a mug. And maybe a plushie of some sort. And maybe a t-shirt if it's funny and not just the GW logo or something.

A cap, a map, a sticker and a cup.

For the cap, please try and focus on style more than advertising. It's a delicate balance that most companies get wrong. I.E. John Deere, a bright green hat with dazzling yellow writing and some Amish dude on a tractor. That's great if your some farmer guy out in the sticks, and the only people who can see you are your kin, and you don't like them very much. But for normal folks? Eh-eh.

With a cloth map, the more detail the better. Bring the bling for this one.

Sticker (window cling). Yes please. The more stickers on my car, the faster it goes.

And the cup... go crazy with this thing, because it's the Christmas gift for all my WoW friends.

Also, if you can find a supplier... maybe try and work it out through the GW store to where we can order a still motion replica of our OWN characters, with our own armor (weapons would be an added bonus). Yes, we realize it will cost more (for folks who argue about $20-$50 this aint for you). Yes we realize it will take time to make and deliver, especially if a million people order them. But you know what... I'd get it. I'd get one of each. I've had that much fun with them, I want to remember them.

Not sure if there's one already, but I'd certainly get artbooks with final and concept art of everything. Just not into sticking thing on the wall, so no to posters.

My priorities:

1: Mouse, Mouse Mat and other stuff you mentioned

2: High Quality or laminated world map (I want them explored

)
3: Baseball Cap
4: T-Shirts and Hoodies
5: Anything else

However I'm NOT interested in action figures or plushies. (Well, maybe a Gwen plushie but that's it.)

I would so buy a Gwen plushie. Plus, if it said the things she said while she was setting everything into flames, well... that would be a bonus.

Oh the funny phrases possible.

Really funny..... just a suggestion but you could actually start a separate thread on that topic just for fun.
I'd love to read posts on that.

Also, along with items to buy, I think it's time for you guys to start accepting PayPal. Not everyone has a credit card. [Also ship to Canada, not sure if you do or not.]

I'm not to big on the clothing, unless, maybe a hat...
I'm kinda a closet-gamer here... Cool and fashionable by day, geek by night

lol

So that's a no to T-shirts and hoodies for me (a little too.. uber for me :P )

But... I would really dig some mousepad gear (if it was really nice, high-quality art/concept art), or a high quality poster or wallmap.

Nice high-quality Action figures/figurine things I might consider too :P
I really love the art in Guildwars.. The higher quality the item (see- mousemat's, poster/prints), the better!

(as long as they're not unreasonably expensive (below $40 would be my range)

Ooh, just had another thought.. To add to my last post... How about high-quality, full-sized calendars, or desk-calendars?

I loved (and still really love, it still works!) my Factions' CE Desktop Calendar.. Its great, and full of beautiful art.. I only wish it was a little bigger

(and I actually like it better than full-sized Calendars, although I would like bigger pictures)

Another thing to consider (perhaps for a very low cost, or FREE as a fan appreciation present?) : Screensavers!! Come on ArenaNet.. Make a really highquality one... perhaps even with an optional in-game music playing toggle... The art of GuildWars is beautiful in every way.. Ingame shots would be great, as would concept art (Especially high-quality Character concept art (ie: Mhenlo, Devona, etc

)

i would get a world map, but only if it was cloth, my den lacks any color except for white, and i do not want to put paper posters on the wall. i would however buy a cloth map in a heartbeat, no matter the price.
