Just guessing it was to make up for the fact Europe/USA had pre order stuff, Korea didn't. It seems also they pay a monthly fee (not sure on that one)

They dont.

Rumors about other countries FTW! I've heard alot of BS in this game about what other people do/dont do/cant do/can do.

Just yesterday, there was a guy spitting his inane theories about Monthly fees in Droknars, all based on some /WRONG/ notion someone put in his head that if you buy the game key, and download the game files (instead of buying it form the box) you have to pay a monthly fee.

What people beleive :\

Read Gaile's posts in this thread for clarification: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=36257

Those playing on Korean servers have the option of paying fees based on the amount of time they spend playing in internet cafes.

As for Coke vs Pre-order items, I was under the impression that the pre-order items sucked, whereas the Coke items where actually somewhat good. I haven't seen the stats for each in a long time though, so I could be wrong.

No those items are perfect like greens. I guess an Ithas bow is balanced with their 15^50 max bow. But hey, that's just me.

You never thought to use that grey matter between your ears to think that the date of halloween came before the US because Korea was in a different time zone? Same reason europe got them before the US. And all of the winters day stuff. Those shields are from the Coke promotion in Korea. We got beta events and pre order items, they got the Coke promotion.

Max stats, unmodifiable and only 1 mod. Gree/Gold/PvP weapons are still superior with the exception of the shield, which is better than pretty much every shield unless you are very lucky and find a similar one in PvE.

Thats a fee to play it in an Internet Cafe (sorry, not looking up the special code to type in the mark above the e) instead of actually purchasing the game.

Thats a totally different subject than a Monthly Fee to be on the servers.

I wouldn't mind knowing where that shield came from, as the level of specular mapping is superior to what guild wars currently does.

I didn't actually say it was a monthly fee, although I'm still not 100% sure on how exactly their system works. Even with the comments Gaile made, there's still a little room for interpretation.

Americans can acquire the Korean-only items, but I'm not sure how. A member of iQ has one of the Shields. >.>
