Linken.6345 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Yes he should unless they want to wait for next expansion that might include hot, pof and the new one. Took them quite awhile to merge hot with pof tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if you friend have invested a lot real money in that account (bought items from Gem Store to upgrade inventory, bank with more space etc) with HoT, then it is better to upgrade it. He/she can do it by purchasing PoF from website (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/shop/). In that case same account will use the serial code and add PoF content as instructed in the last link down below here. Another option is start from scratch with a new account where your friend have every expansion (HoT+PoF). Don't forget that most likely must he/she also buy LW season, with a completely new account. Until the last episode that are right now free from just log in during that date. With upgrading an existing account (which have added season from LW while those where free or purchased) it will be less to catch up. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gem_Store#Upgrades >For LW packages in Gem Store Here is the complete information from Support page: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/230165307-Guild-Wars-2-Account-Types-Free-Core-HoT-PoF Scroll down to: **How do I upgrade my account?** This should explain it enough to get an idea what will be best for your friend.

Yeah, you are right. I mixed it up with that I already had PoF when I upgraded it to Deluxe version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, it automatically upgrades the account with no need to wait for the Serial Key and apply it. (Not referring to any of the Deluxe Upgrades.) Did I even suggest OP to buy it anywhere else then in ANets own shop? I did provide links to both shop and to the Support page to explain how to upgrade. Independent of where you buy it you should always have a serial key saved in case you need to proof of your purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Buying it 'in the shop' (ArenaNet's purchasing page) is different than buying it _in-game_. It by-passes having to wait for the email and adding the Serial Key. Yes, the Serial Key will still be sent for record-keeping, but it can save a lot of time. Perhaps, you have not noticed the many posts asking, "Where is my Serial Key? I've not received the expected email!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killmyself.5921 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 okay thnx soo much for the replies appreciate it.. well he owns HoT but thats does mean he will not get free PoF ?? .. or is only applies that you get both if you only buy PoF?.. cuz i saw some discussions earlier that they bought PoF but does not own PoF but later they were granted free HoT ..sorry for bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, you can not buy PoF in Gem Store, ONLY upgrade to Digital Deluxe version of the base version you have which is GW2 without any expansion, HoT and PoF - with HoT you can only upgrade to HoT Digital Deluxe and for PoF you can only upgrade to PoF Digital Deluxe within game clients itself (Gem Store). The only way for OP friend to get access to PoF will be to purchase PoF (on site it is three version and Digital Deluxe is the second option which is being offered in ANet webshop). The most expensive version is only possible to buy from that site which adds Gems to account. Copied from webshop: >>_All in-game items will be delivered upon redemption of a Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire serial code. Gem delivery may take up to 72 hours after purchase. Guild Wars 2 is available in English, French, German, and Spanish languages. _> @"killmyself.5921" said: > okay thnx soo much for the replies appreciate it.. well he owns HoT but thats does mean he will not get free PoF ?? .. or is only applies that you get both if you only buy PoF?.. cuz i saw some discussions earlier that they bought PoF but does not own PoF but later they were granted free HoT ..sorry for bad english If you had looked at ArenaNet's webshop you would see that it is an offer where you get HoT for free when you purchase PoF. You will not get PoF for free to make it absolutely clear. Today it is only possible to buy PoF as a package which includes HoT and GW2 (base game). When HoT where the only expansion you would get GW2 (core game) for "free" and PoF is the last expansion so you would get HoT for "free". This is to avoid to have several different version of expansion that are being sold at the same time and make it more easier for Costumer Service to keep track of what each account have access to. When you purchase the last expansion that Serial Key will replace the earlier version (base and expansion) with the newest expansion. The "old" Serial Key is that way replaced and there is only one Serial Key that is connected to that account with the last expansion. If you still have trouble to understand maybe read the link for help support that I have provided several times now where ArenaNet explains the difference between versions, what each contains and how to purchase and add that content into game client.

Unlike buy.guildwars2.com, buying it here will apply immediately. Exactly! Which bypasses any wait for a Serial Key to be sent (even though one _will_ be sent for record-keeping). It seems it's some that "don't understand". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
