I don't know if this is real or not, and if it's already been determined as... whatever... just tell me nicely. I found it interesting, and it looks offiical enough to me. Just thought I'd share with the community.

*EDIT* Found it on another site, slevel, as well.

I think someone said on the forums not long ago about them selling all three campaigns together at some point, they just weren't sure when. The box does look very nice and I wonder what other goodies, if any, might come along with it.

*Edit* NM, OP's other link shows the contents. Nice stuff!

I'll ask about this, guys. Remember sometimes different regions have different products, so I'll see what I can learn. (I think Ascention may be a European spelling, so that's what has me wondering.)

Oh, and I agree -- it's a beautiful box!

What I think is, we need to find you other cool things to spend your money on. But maybe that's just my way of thinking.

Sorry Gaile, ascention isn't a European spelling - we spell it Ascension too

As for it being a fake, or no...I'm not sure - it does look very good, but that spelling mistake is pretty big to miss (don't advertising guys pay people to check these sort of things?) Either way, if it is real - somebody needs to get their eyes checked

Isnt this the one with the Usb key? I believe it was posted earlier under the name "Guildwars Trilogy Pack" or something. And yes there is a trilogy pack available now but it has nothing extra in it really. Just Goty Prophecies and the regular versions of factions and Nightfall.

I made a question about it and somebody posted about all the sites that were posted earlier had removed said item from their websites.

If you want all three by themselves, just check your local Sam's Club. Mine had a 3-pack (all regular editions) for $50.

I saw this a while ago, it was on PLAY and AMAZON. I had it on my wish list while i waited for details to appear, then suddenly it vanished, gone, puff.

Not sure why, i just assumed that it was withdrawn, no maybe it's going to be released after all.

The only difference between American English and British English is the fancy "U" in words like armour, favour, etc.

It's just a funny typo

I call bull on this crap...

and even if it's legit, it's gotta come packed to the brim with some mind-blowing jaw-dropping awe-inspiring goodies that I just got to get my greedy little hands on, for me to even consider buying it if it's just gonna come with 3 games that I already have.

according to when it was up on Play.com, it came with a super art book with all the concept art from the first three collectors editions, including extra artwork aswell, all the skill pins and shed loads of other stuff too

There is a difference between a typo and correct spelling, and in American English, it's just a case of not being bothered to put a 'u' in.
/rant

Anyway, it looks like a pretty package, the 2Gigabyte memory stick nearly makes it worth it alone, and the skill pins, art work, the A0 map, which i hope is of Tyria, cantha and Elona, and the other stuff is pretty cool. I probably won't get it though, at 140 euro, it's just too much.

I dunno, that looks a little photoshopped to me... The reflections on the box just don't look.. right.

These things are always photoshopped. Even the legit ones. I doubt that at the time these pics came online, there was real prototype of the thing

.

Anyways, if it contains the hardcover artbook (and maybe the 2 gig USB key), I'm getting this baby.

Unless you decided to pay for your copy of Guild Wars Ultimate Edition by check. We would use a cheque

Another one that comes to mind is center, which we spell centre. I know there are plenty of others too. Sadly I once read the English and the US edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone side by side, and you would be amazed at the subtle differences in the language.

Anyway, back on topic - Guild Wars Legacy (or Ultimate) Edition was advertised on all the major games sites, including Amazon, Play, Game etc. a few months back, but then suddenly disappeared! I guess they had production problems. I certainly want to buy this if and when it ever comes out.

In that case, you could add to your list:

GW RL goods: Miniatures, T-shirts, etc.. I think is a good idea but it would only affect US and European players (due to distribution dificulties)

More account upgrades: like having more storage, hair stylist, unlocking skills, improved henchies,...you name it.

Why not make a official thread asking the players what they want and they're are bound to pay (or not) for it.

Thx for the attention

Not the only difference. There are numerous ones such as the use of "s" instead of "z" in many words.

Looks a bit CG to me, and with the spelling mistakes, doesn't look quite legit.

all European versions, be they special or not, have the lettering and packaging text in the language of the country they were released in. This is due to the fact that there is a regional distributor in each country. If that was an Italian product, it would have Italian words on it, not English ones. Aside from the typo (ascension has no alternative spelling, not even in Italian) the package is missing the logos of Anet, NCSoft and the rating board.

Even from a marketing perspective such a package would be an odd choice to say the least. Wouldn't you want to draw new customers in by nicely bundeling Prophecies and GW:EN instead of going for an insanely price mega special edition? No, someone is just trying to have fun at our costs and the Italian retailer most likely thought to play it safe and accept preorders.

If this is true, is there a "light" version of this package for people who already own all 3 collectors editions and don't feel like spending another 140€ for the few extra's they don't already have? (the skill pins and miniature for example)
Or will we be out of luck? (or out of money

)

I would figure that it would most likey have its own Unqine type of CE thing that it comes with, mabey something as hot as the divine aura. Well have to wait and see from Gaile if its real or not.

I second that. I'd rather not buy a game I already have just for the artbook.
