kileran.1485 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So I played GW2 back in the days when you had to buy it. Seems it's now a F2P game, but the expansions cost money. Do us "paid for the original" customers get any discount on the expansions? Did we get anything when the game went F2P in exchange for us having actually paid for the game? I don't mean to sound ungrateful, Just want to make sure i'm not overpaying if we get a discount or something. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury ranique.2170 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Short answer: no. They don’t give any discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shailyn Slay.7234 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The core game was made f2p (with some restrictions, e.g. to prevent gold farming) mostly to get in new players when HoT was released. There is no discount on the expansions, but HoT gives you a free character slot (I think? maybe it was a limited time thing though), I don't remeber if PoF had any ingame reward for older accounts.

Alex Shatter.7956 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Don't feel like you got too cheated, the f2p mode is *extremely* limited. Like, there are restrictions on your use of map chat and the trading post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the Op you get both the expansions now for the price of what heart of thorns was at release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
