i think all accounts wich have all 3 campaigns+ EotN should get that hero too

seems cruel that we would have to pay tons just for a hero...

give us a command like /hero for that M.O.X

that's all i can say

...

its a good idea but leave that hero away...

tbh it is a bit silly, why give people a reward just for gettign it 3+ years after launch, i know in a buissness model it makes sense but do they really think many will buy that pack again just for the hero?

EDIT: Anyone have an idea if your buyign 4 games (Factions,NF etc.) with 4 codes or 1 code with the 4 games?
as if it was the first i cna see some use in getting it,(2 people could split it and 1 takes factions and nf, the other eotn and proph kinda thing, or get 3 people into it i guess.)

I'd imagine that the Fatass is VERY representative of pretty much ANY gaming community.

On-topic:
If it's a mini - I don't care.
If it's a hero - like previously stated - I have more guys then I can use already.

How would any new player care about an 'exclusive hero' offer? The only people that can appreciate that hero at it's fullest, are the people that have been playing for a while.

Or would you get that hero at the very beginning, trodding along in Presear too?

Or is it just 'OMG ANet just introduced the side-kick system in GW', in case the hero can change professions, and it being with you without having to venture in Nightfall and EotN?

It's obviously for people who don't already own the game, and adds a little bonus to entice their wallets.

No way I'm buying all games again for a hero. There's already two of each, I'm pretty set with it.

But I agree it sucks that it's not a viable offer for the people who bought it previously... so far anyways.

Definitely worth it if you want a secondary account.
No. It costs 25 pounds. That's over $50 US.

Exclusive Golem Hero!

lol, yeah...the BMP was "exclusive", too. I'll hold off on buying it.

After this is released, the droves of complainers will hit the forums, begging for it to be sold in the store, posting multi-paragraph threads about how it can net Anet more $$. Anet, reading this, will hear "cha-ching" and cave in, selling it in the store. At which point I will buy it.

Noooooooooooooo don't give them a Golem if they already own all the chapters/expansions. THIS SHOULD BE "EXCLUSIVE" for only those who BUY THE WHOLE PACKAGE so we can gloat and have fun listening to them boo hoo and QQ more. I love boo hoo and QQ threads best.

I would say this is a kick in the nads from Arenanet, but it isn't. I'm sure they'll put it in the store or something.

ya I just realized it was pounds.

to everyone else:
they will give you a way to get it i am pretty sure. probably one of the new fun things they'll release eventually.

but i think it's more or less about ALL FOUR GAMES IN ONE PACKAGEEEE instead...I mean, now I can easily get someone to buy this game.

Perhaps it will be added to any accounts with all 4 games already also, with a cross-campaign scavenger hunt to obtain it? Now THAT would be cool. Perhaps that's why it's with the promotional "complete" game pack...

I love the amount of unwarranted accusations there are on this already.

Knowing Linsey I don't doubt it.

Also the CR hasn't said anything yet because it was posted after she left work yesterday and it's still before she comes into work today....it's almost like you people want her to work 24 hour days.

Let me see. New players get an exclusive hero on top of the 25 available otherwise. Whoop-de-doo. Grumpy old players like me got three years of free playtime. Old players win hands down

Now THAT would rock. I loved the mini moa thing, another hunt would be fun Otherwise.......yes to sucky. Why would I buy yet another acct just to get a hero when my main has my better chars and stuff...? I have an alt acct from the pre slot days and it is pretty much a wasteland lol.

As for this new Hero, meh. I don't care. There's too many to handle, and too few hero slots to care.

Thanks for your valuable input, and "proof" that I didn't ask for nor did I need. (I know very well what they said. I was here when they offered it for a limited time. I was here when people whined for another way to get it. I was here when Anet caved. They didn't say exclusive, but they did say "limited time"...doesn't seem too limited anymore, does it buddy?). I'll pretend to consider your post, but still hold off on buying it.

Have been thinking of buying another account for a while now, new hero or no new hero - a low cost for all campaigns is great .

Pretty stupid if they don't lift the 3H restriction.

Edit> Oh, wait. We don't even want to use 3H after they 'updated' their behaviour to closely act like a bunch of fools.

What? Is it real?
I hope that Golem is an elementalist and that we can get an update like the Milllion edition.

I'm not paying 30€ for a single Hero.

Compilation sets are desperate? Its business, more money means more funding for GW2.
The 'exclusive' idea wont get many people to buy it, although people who have not played the game before may pick this set up and some may pick it up for whatever reasons such as storage space because that is very cheap for the amount of content a person would get.

So how many character slots does this thing have? Since it is all campaigns and the expansion does it have 8?
I actually see them making it only have 4 slots for that price. If this happens it isn't even a good deal to grab it just for the hero and storage slots.

I might consider buying it if they would make it where you could add it to your existing account and get the hero and the extra slots, but that aint gonna happen.

Guess alot of us will be waiting for it to be in the ingame store!

Hey guys, having a multitude of heroes to choose from isn't a good reason to remove the 3H restriction. If they did you'd still have 24 or whatever heroes and only 7 to choose from. Sooooo

So sorry. It seemed like you did because you oh-so erroneously stated "exclusive" instead of "offered for a limited time". I was here, too, "buddy". I didn't get the BMP when it came out, but did purchase it at a later time. "Exclusive" and "limited time offer" are two very different things.

"Exclusive" means that, in a business sense, only included in a certain package. For example, the Miniature Varesh is exclusive to the Guild Wars Nightfall Collector's Edition; you can't get it any other way (except, of course, by trading it with other players, but it eventually came from an exclusive area).

"Limited time offer" means that there is a certain time limit to get the advertised product, like there was a limited time offer of getting the Bonus Mission Pack by making a a purchase of at least $29.00 (USD). That doesn't mean that the package is "exclusive".

For someone who know what was said have a very funny way of saying it. Besides, you weren't the first one in this thread to erroneously state that the Bonus Mission Pack was exclusive.

This time, if the advertisement states that it's exclusive, it's exclusive.

In regards to those people stating that ArenaNet should offer M.O.X. the Golem to players who currently have all three campaigns and the expansion, it doesn't always work like that. In the cable/satellite business, you don't see current customers get new customer offers (current customers are offered current customer offers if they wish to upgrade or whatever, which, ironically, was the Bonus Mission Pack (which was something offered to current customers for free during the promotion period, but now can get at a cost of $9.99 (USD))).

Now, I hope ArenaNet offers something for current customers to obtain M.O.X. the Golem, however, I shall wait until I hear more news of the situation.

Is this possibly the same thing as Newegg is listing as a pre-order for 9/24/2008: "Guild Wars Trilogy PC Game" at $50 (US) including shipping

There isn't much detail on the Newegg listing and no picture. Would be a bit cheaper than ordering from the UK for those of us in NorthAm.

As a second account or for a gift, that wouldn't be a bad price at all.

Has this even showed up on any other retail sites? A little odd that it seems to be only on Play.com. I seem to remember them listing some great sounding GW collection before that never existed.

No explanations/arguing needed.
