A BMP Weekend Event would be nice for those players who didnt get the BMP, ill give you some of the reasons:
- A chance to better know the stories of the characters (Togo, Gwen, etc)
- A chance to get weaponds that are not for sale/trade
Post your toughts, thank you ^^
BMP Weekend Event

You know there's really very little in the BMP itself...the main thing is the weapons you can acquire, which for fairness shouldn't be obtainable in your event idea since it's just a backdoor way for people who never took up ANet's promotion to gain the pretty weapons.
Basically, you can complete the BMP missions in a couple of hours, and get a torrent of new weapons. It would basically be giving it away for free.
Dream on!

I don't know...they are pretty much giving Gwen away(for a weekend?), so it just might happen.

While me getting sick of seeing threads whining about BMP has pretty much killed my sympathy for the not-have's, I could still see this offered in a future promotion. As for a weekend, I can only imagine it wouldn't offer the weapon rewards because Anet wants those to be a special gift to the promotion participants. But of course, then nobody would play it if it was only for the sake of "having fun".

nothing is being given away
edit: u're right it's a playable weekend for ppl who dont have it aswell lol. sorry. anyway. bmp would be deeply played in few hours so no point in opening it even for a day for everyone

yes giving it away. it was sold under the 'lv 20 only area' pretense.
high level content to low level characters = giving it away.
they are even going as far as buffing low level characters...cheap.
/edit
and unless I read wrong...everyone will have access. not just people who bought it.

For those who do have it, if they have a lvl 10 or higher, with this buff/armorer/weapon in the first outpost, they can now get into GW:EN sooner without being overwhelmed.

Gaile said in-game that this weekend would offer a 5-hour trial for non-GW:EN owners, and the buffs to low lvls would help more people take advantage of it. Not quite what I'd call a giveaway, and I imagine after that it'll be "lvl 20 only" again.
gone
sure is a freebie unless the content/areas are limited.
when I paid for my trial I was limited to a few areas.
5 hours is almost too much, considering Gwen can be hammered out in around 2 hours.
-Sorry OP for the thread jack

If they ever do offer it again, it should only be as a promotional Item for in-game store purchases...that's what it was for those of us that got it.

Thing is, has many other players that dont have the BMP, we've spent more than €26/£17 buying the games, and maybe we didnt feel like spending that amount on character slots that we are not going to use, so BMP being part of the game, cause i didnt say it was an expansion like someone quoted, i think it would be nice for the rest of the players to have a second chance to get it.

I have it and I feel right now A-net should only figure a way to give it to those that have everything already, loyalty should have counted. Later make it availabe for purchase, ie mini transactions $2-4 per mission would be fair, considering the ease of obtaining very nice weapons to all your characters and a @9k boon to your account for said mission.

i hope they have a bmp weekend/put it on sle for those of us that didnt have a credit card

I got a game I wanted, cheaper than retail at the time, yes I would say that is fair. I would have purchased the game any way, it was a BONUS (right place right time, thats all).
{IceFire}
/notsigned, spent $30 for this so others can get all the weapons for free in less than 2 hrs of play? kthxbai
The point of this is that you HAD TO SPEND $30 TOTAL ONLINE not just $30 on gwen... jeez

I guess the others just spent $30 on absolutely nothing and only got the BMP for the money they spent in the ingame store.
Others bought the same expansion from a store and didnt get the BMP. OK it was Anets rules which made it an exclusive BONUS for ingame buyers, but it wouldnt deprive you if others could play it aswell for a minor price at a later date.
And for all you retards who think it is your holy right to be the only one to play this part of the game... you can still fell better than others by thinking "haha, I got the game for free and you had to buy it" (when/if it does go on sale)
Now for something back on the title.
/not signed the way it is (allthough I dont have the BMP myself)
Id say a weekend is ok, but not with full access. You can only play the missions, but cant get any rewards such as weapons or books.
but deffinitely /signed for the sudgestion of buying the BMP separately for a minor price, This would make the players who werent able to buy ingame/messed up banks/or plain from the wrong country to get the offer also be able to play the missions (this would also allow Anet to stop the customization of the BMP weapons to let them go into the tradeable items), and Anet would have another income to make them happy.

Either way, I agree with most here that if ever available again, the BMP should be available only in the same way it was to those who first took advantage of the promotion offer.
