Well, I personally LOVE it. I don't have a problem with paying for what I actually get to keep.
ArenaNet just found a way to get around 40$ out of me
Can you buy it as a gift, too? (as in, for favoured guildies)

I know while $5 per tab would be a fair price, they would make less money as some people would settle with just 1 extra tab. But if they didn't want to bother with such small deals as $5, why not to make an offer just as fair - sell 2 tabs together for $10! That would be a viable alternative to buying a mule slot, and should cost much less server resources than a whole character slot with ton of character data, bigger inventory, ability to add new equipment bag, and heroes, and even more strain on the servers for all those relogs needed to move stuff around. ... and while I promised myself to not buy more mule slots than I already did, I would buy that - 2 xunlai tabs pack for $10. So I'm saying the price is a test. If the community buys them for such a sick price, it may mean even more even worse prices in the future - just imagine it becoming the new standard for GW2 - get clear game with very few slots and very small storage - but then you can buy them in online store for $20 per char slot (price updated!) and storage $10 per small tab, that an active player will need to buy like 8 of. With more 'optional' things like this and the game design based on them it may be costing active fans as much as a monthly fee game, but with keeping support and updates of a free game... Don't let the curse of microtransactions get us in GW2. How about: boycott ridiculous prices? Show that we aren't a brainless mass that will buy whatever they add for whatever sick the price is. Want storage? Want to still support Anet? Buy a mule instead. |
I expect they will say something along the lines of: "Spend $9.99 in the online store from April 23rd - May 10th and receive a FREE storage pane only available with this promotion!"
The point? A lot of people are going to be stupid enough to shell out $10 to get a free storage pane.
Which in all reality, at least you're only technically paying $5, since you're getting 2 instead of one.
I might even spend $10 for 2 storage panes, if that's going to be the case. But, there definitely won't be more for $10 each.
Then again, I don't even play anymore, so probably not.

I'm finding it really funny the amount of people that are up in arms over this. Especially if you don't play any more or think the game is crap, etc. If you enjoy World of Warcraft that much, shouldn't you be trolling those forums?
I think this is a great idea. More server space has to be paid for, so why not let the packrats that will use it (like myself) do the paying? And a bit of a cash injection for Anet won't hurt GW2's development either, IMO.
Also, WRT mule characters vs. extra storage tabs: for me, it's WELL worth the extra expense for the convenience of not having to log off/on/off/on to shuffle stuff around to/from a mule. To each their own, I guess, but I never liked the mule solution.

Update looking good, can't wait to see the Zaishen Quests + what else they have in store.

Anet, you can get out of it if you'll just "admit" you meant 10k and not 10$!
That would be much more reasonable, (100k would also be reasonable), and logical.

LMAO Fail-net strike again
Pay for extra storage (after the addition of 1 free tab)
You can pay $9.99 for the animal menagerie and get basic animals installed there
So the big upcoming update is basically, here is new stuff now get out your credit card And for those that don't use a credit card, I assume the age old problem will still exist that you cannot buy from PLayNC store as it accepts only limited pay sources and doesn't even accept paypal, so you cant actually buy any further content updates so those people miss out yet again.
No sure why I bothered to come back to this game tbh, the sooner Aion is released the better.

€20 to go bac kto the starting character screen to change appearnace of your toon
€20 to change realm
€10 to change your name
€13 per month subscription
They earn more than 72 countries per year and they still place adds on the forum and the launcher.
only differance is people are used to activision-blizzards methods by now.
Gw however is subscription free to you'd have to see that it makes sense for them to do things like this to keep the servers running`.
been playing Wow more or less as my main game for the last year, and my realm can have as much lag as the gw ones do.

Wouldn't quite be anet if they didn't try to encourage spending money at the online store -___-

players are going to whine and qq and "you can't buy it later" will become not true.
I can't wait for this update to see what the Managerie offers, a good reason to log in and see what happens. Not going to buy any extra storage tab thou, just going to get the free ones.

I went to the community talk with Regina, Lindsey and the other person I forgot it's name *gee* and wanted to know how will the Equipment Packs work, Regina stated that they could range from 5 to 20 slots (wich I thought it was weird but whatever) and wanted to know if each slot will act like a current storage space, allowing for ONE armor piece, or will it be able to store an entire armor set? And how will it work for weapons? I arrived to late at the discussion to ask that so if someone who was there could answer me that would be great.

Free Storage Pane Giveaway Lastly, to celebrate our anniversary, we have a limited-time offer where you can get a FREE pane of Xunlai Storage. Our upcoming promotion will be the ONLY way to get this special pane; it is extra, which means you can't buy it later. Keep an eye on the website and we'll explain how you can get this bonus storage. |
Also read this next quote CAREFULLY some of you are thinking you're getting a FREE storage pane for everything and that's not how it states.

Equipment Packs in assorted sizes, designed solely to hold weapons and armor (gear). Every character will get a fifth slot for an Equipment Pack. |

This makes me happy (the updates, not the complaints about the updates).
The armor and weapon bag alone will dramatically alter my storage, and my mules. I can clean armors off of one mule (holding sets for three different characters), freeing up fifteen slots on that mule alone. Next, the three armors in storage frees up fifteen more slots, and the ability to put weapons in the bag frees up inventory slots AND slots in thne storage (for books...blech) and phat lewt dropped by unsuspecting critters. If an equipment bag is 10 slots, that turns into five weapons and an armor set, or two armor sets. That's a pretty big chunk of space. If I open up thirty slots combined in and on a mule...that's a lot of extra space.
Not complaining at all. I hope the petting zoo means that I can go tame critter after critter, and go pick which one I feel like walking with that day.
xoxo for the big update, ANet.

I just wonder what the "promotion" requirement for the free storage tab will be?
Buy one storage tab, get one for free?

Also, being able to reset your appearance of your character and change your character's name is at least a service that they offer. You cannot do either one in Guild Wars (even for pay), and people have asked for them. In fact, the only way you can get a name change for "free" is to use an offensive name and get reported.
Mister_Smiley
i'm at the point where i see all these people bitching because this isn't free, that isn't free, it almost wants to make me cry, i mean where getting new stuff for free and people are bitching about what they arn't getting. You know what, mabey its time some of you leave GW because you seam to bitch more then play the game. Some of you people just make me sick, anet could give you 1000 ectos freee and you still would bitch. We haven't even gotten the patch yet and you bitch, don't judge something that has yet to come out. If you don't like the way anet does stuff, there is a simple way to take care of it, QUIT. Ya i ranted and raved@ idiots, and i'll prob get the same, but i don't care.
SirSausage
I am impressed. But what's up with 10$ per storage pane?
Might as well buy a character slot for that price.
Come on, 5$ would be a good price.

you can buy factions off newegg for $10.
4 characters and storage for $10, or 1 storage pane?
and you can just use the GWx2 thing, to run both accounts at once.

I don't like the idea of paying real money to buy things giving big advantages to the player, AKA, I am better than you because I pay dollars for it!
The store, in a no monthly fee game, should be for selling neutral items, like armor/weapon skins and so on, and things like the skill pack because you can get it anyway in-game without pay.
So, I AGREE if Arenanet make money in the store, I actually want they make a LOT. But, for example, they can sell the inventory slots, BUT you should be able to get that slots in-game without pay, because this is a feature giving advantages versus other players.
The small inventory is actually a design fail in the original game, so, adding more inventory is actually a "bug fix", a game shouldn't sell bug fixes.

This update is going to be the BOMB! One of the best upgrades ever mentioned in history of Guild Wars.
For people bitching and whining about the 10$ cost, wait before you complain. It might be worth it, it might be not. If you don't want to spend 10$ then stop bitching, anet isn't obligating you! If you keep bitching about everything about this game, why don't you just quit Guild Wars.
A game is made to enjoy, not to whine about!

All of you people complaining should just go RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO yourselves. They are giving you a game with NO MONTHLY COST!, And now a FREE update with an OPTIONAL way to pay for something. If a new account is such a better deal then more storage tabs then buy the goddamn account. Stop complaining about how it is too expensive if you are STATING AN PERFECTLY GOOG ALTERNATIVE IN YOUR POST! ANet never stated the storage would be free plus you are getting 1 free pane and free storage bags. ANEt does not owe you anything so stop complaining that A BUSINESS WANTS TO MAKE MONEY!

not that it is a bad thing, co si strongly believe that ANET should actually put in some decent profit after 4 yrs... but anyways....
look at it from this point fo view... your 40$, or 30 euro in my case, would contribute in some way to GW2, making it at least 40$ worth better. and lets face it miss a night out or dont spend as much in 2 nights and you will have the cash... damn retards the lot of you (obviously if you can't afford the pay)...

I'm happy about the extra storage and excited about the little pet zoo feature. None of these features are needed, there is no critical flaw in the gameplay that these features are correcting . These are simply bonus features that make the playing of the game more enjoyable. If at some point I decide that something isn't worth the cost, I'll simply refrain from purchasing it. Other than that, I will continue to enjoy playing the game for free.
/rant on
I read these forums almost every day and almost every day there's somebody whining because they're unhappy about having to adapt to some sort of change, or that the free stuff they're getting from this game isn't exactly what they want it to be. It's a simple concept really. If you're not happy with Guild Wars, go find something you do enjoy playing and please..stop whining about everything.
/rant off
Thank you ANet for the extra stuff.

wow making us pay for extended storage... .and $40 for max storage.. seems like they want us to buy another expansion without that much new content..
Enon
The extra storage space is something we've all wanted for a very long time, but honestly it's quite expensive. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Anet listens to its gamers, but $10 is in my opinion a bit overpriced. Even when taking into account they have to add extra server space. Something that has been bothering me are the payment methods though. They definitely need to take a look at that if they're planning on adding more payable content.
The Zaishen Menagerie seems useless to say the least. Pets don't play much of a role in this game, even for Rangers.
Zaishen Challange Quests might end up being fun, depending on the reward and difficulty.
Guess we got to see it for ourselfs.

Here's my rundown to make it simple:
Storage: I'm quite satisfied with the new weapon and armor bags of differing sizes, this is good on farming chars to carry their armor for play, and for farming. Also, it can be used as a mule slot for looted weapons I guess the extra xunlai wasn't too bad, 4 is enough already, one for dye would have been nice but w/e. Take the free one and be happy, I don't use them all anyway.
Zaishen Menagerie: Seems like a way for someone to unlock different pets on a pvp char. I think its more like a gold sink and time waster (ex. Elite Armor before the hom) Looks like a purely aesthetical thing, having different methods to fill makes it not fail. Perhaps it will have a statue in hom like beating a campaign instead of the pet monument. It's cute
Zaishen Challenge Quests: A pve method to gain pvp rewards, fun and simple. I'll use it to fill the books with the re-do this mish quest. I think this is more like the daily quests in WoW that I hear about but, the GW take is much better imo.
Overall: Im pleased though not thoroughly satisfied. 8/10
GJ Anet with only 2-3 people working on it! So I've heard.

If you look at the page with the info. You can see the hero bag and behind it you can see how the storage will look now. (This has probably been said before)
