Full Game bought from a Shop.
Full retail price, I think it's gonna be the same as full retail of when it first came out?

I'm pretty sure it'll cost the same as Chapter 1 when it came out. I've already got my money set aside for a hopefully upcoming Chapter 2 Collector's Edition.

we got devine aura for CE chapter 1 so the question is what will they do to top that for chapter 2 CE?
chris_nin00
I'm going to buy the collectors Edition too
This next statement is not for frail souls.
I didn't preorder guild wars for one fact... I didn't think that it would be a good hit.
Ahh!!! don't chase me!
But now that I know for a fact that guild wars is good, I might preorder the 2nd chapter

And I wouldn't mind seeing something a little more spectacular than Divine Aura for Ch2...although I do like DA quite a bit. Maybe a Collector's Edition emote, like the rank emotes, I don't know. Whatever it is, it obviously shouldn't give us an advantage over non-CE players.

I have another question that will go along with the main question, do ya'll know if you will use the same account and names or will you have to start over with all of your characters and lvl's, items, money........EXT. Hopefuly We can use the same account and stuff cause im poor ; - )
cagan
You won't have to start over, adding the chapter 2 key to your original isn't going to wipe your account at all.

either way, the price of an expansion is still better than paying $15 a month. (assuming an expansion comes every 6 months or so)
MMSDome
i thought it was just expansion, cause you can use the same cahracters as in the first one
chaotic_mystery
Pff...forget WoW, Guild Wars' next game will be the expansion I bet...it will be $50 and it will be free...w/e the next guild wars game is, Im so getting it.
Of course they wont make it an update lol...are u kidding me, they are going to want to strip some cash from you...

Can someone tell me where you get the CE of guild wars? Do you have to order it online, or can you get it from stores?
leeky baby
ya thats a good point can we still use our old charchters?
Dave83
Ok sorry if im changing the question a bit but it's sort of similar and saw little point of starting a new topic.
Will we be to buy an online key from when it is released if (like me) you are hardcore? Or will this feature not be available till later?

IN account options you can put new activation codes in. That is where you put the ones from expansions and it gives you added things to your account. And WOW is so not worth forking out for $15 each month.
It is not a rip off paying for an expansion.. it works out cheaper and keeps Anet's servers alive.
*waits in anticipation to slice and dice with an assassin*

Well i dont think it will be the whole big price again....since its only an expansion, not a sequel.
Maxiemonster
This time I'm definitly Pre-Ordering, unless there's nothing like an in-game item or something, which I hope there will be, like the ones from China and Taiwan, those or hot!
I'm not too sure about the CE though, if I'd get something like that "Divine Aura", no thanks, it only looks lame in my opinion.

NOTETHIS IS NOT AN EXPANSION
IT IS A FULL NEW GAME AND YOU WILL PAY FULL PRICE FOR A FULL NEW GAME.
CHECK THE GW SITE.
D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E
Diablo 2 LoD was an expantion; same price as the orginal...
How much does Guild Wars cost? How much will additional chapters cost?
Guild Wars is priced at a comparable cost to other first-tier PC games. The subsequent chapters of Guild Wars will be comparably priced in relation to other games.
Chapters sounds like an expantion to me.

Expansions require the original game to play. Chapter 2, as stated in other threads as well as on the GW website, doesn't require Chapter 1.

name any 2 other EXPANSIONS that were full price.the expansion you mentioned was a rare exception only.
Pevil Lihatuh
name any expansions that doubled the amount of content, as Chapter 2 is *supposed* to do.
btw Savio, any link to that? I know you usually know what you're on about
hehe but just coz last I heard (i.e. before GW was even out) you would need Chapter 1 but not any of the other chapters (so cuold have 1 & 3, or 1 & 9, but not just 2 & 3)

Well i heard that the Exp will be free, heard rumors or them adding 2 more slots of chars an it's only the exp, chapter 2, guildwars 2 is a new game will prolly have to buy it.. but I heard the exp is free an the exp is chapter 2.
but again just rumors!! either way I can't wait for new char assin an maps/armor

its free in that there are no monthly fees, but you're gonna have to pay for it, they've always said you will pay for extra chapters (they gotta pay for the servers somehow) plus its meant to be the same size as the first chapter. You can't expect something that big to be free
guildwars 2 and chapter 2 are the same thing. Technically its Guild Wars Chapter 2 (and I think the sub-title for it is now Factions... theres a thread on it in Riverside Inn)

Also, this isn't just an expansion, it has as much content as the first part of the game did. It is, in essence, doubling the map size, adding a ton of new stuff to the exsisting game and professions and having basically the features of an entirely new game. But, it adds onto the first "chapter" like an expansion. It will be priced at $50, but will also be able to be played without chapter 1 (I think).
Kook~NBK~
It is a stand-alone game, don't need Chapter 1 to play it. AND it is a continuation of Chapter 1, so you can carry characters over from chapter 1 to chapter 2 (got that straight from Gaile Gray one day in LA)
dargon
Right now any reported release dates are purely hypothetical. For example, the above amazon date, ANet has said ch2 will be released 1st half 06, well march 31 is right in the middle of that time span.

yeah you can download GW off the site, but you still have to pay for a key to play it. I'm guessing #2 will also be a choice of either buy in-store OR buy the key online and download the client.
The Great Al
basically there should be 2 different releases....one for players who either dont have chapter 1, or want it to be a completely separate account (so they get 4 new slots)...that release should be $50, and it should include a minimal amount of stuff from chapter 1. the second release should just be for people who want it as an add-on to chapter 1. they would get 1 (Hopefully 2) new slots, and just chapter 2 content, and that would be 30-40 bucks
Monica Angelina
I actually just listened to the interview with Jeff Strain podcast. According to what I remember from the interview, Factions (CH.2) will standalone. It is Anet's philosophy that you should not have to buy the previously released product in order to "catch-up" to the most recently released product (a la EQ). This is entirely consistent with the idea that they made GW a skill based game, not how much time invested in leveling the character to determine your ability to cause havoc. People buying CH.2 will have the choice to level up from 1 to ascension (not clear if it is the same content as the CH.1 low level content or it's own separate low level content), or bring their ascended characters to just play the high level content.
EternalTempest
I just hope Chapter 1 character can go through all the "new player" content of chapter 2, espically the new "pre-game". I love PvE and the plot/story.
My fear is they will dump you at a latter part of chapter 2 if I bring my high level existing character.
