Somewhere, someone made the calculation that offering a discount (albeit only a week) would drive up sales more than keeping the price the same. More worrisome would be PoF going on permanent discount. My (uneducated) guess would be it is a promotion to get the Bless people to pull the trigger and buy the whole game. Worked on me, though I am not a Bless refugee. I'm a WoW escapee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notebene.3190 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I was thinking about getting the original game, but not sure which to buy. Plus, the Steam store won't seem to open for me right now. I have the original-original GW1 game, didn't play it longer than a week back when it first came out. Didn't give it a fair shake. I see there are lots of different names for things, and was wondering if there was like a bundle that had 'all' the expansions in it, and if that was on sale, and I could just buy that one thing?

And they are already discounting it? September 2017. Its been almost exactly 9 months. With a buy to play model that relies also on cash shop items with a recent influx of new or returning players, they might get more players buying it now than when they wait until people lose interest again.

I've been trying to get my brother to buy gw1 so we could play together, but for the price of GW1 (the whole thing) i can buy PUBg which is a much more recent game, i can buy BOTH Elder Scrolls Online **and** Black Desert Online, and still have money to spare to buy some Gems. Even just the Trilogy pack (which doesn't include EotN) is more expensive than either of GW2's direct competition base game. It costs as much to buy the GW1 Trilogy as to buy PoF! How does that make any sense? It's high time you reviewed GW1's price, if you still want people to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the Trilogy and EOTN for the original game and all expansions. It's about $25 for all of it. That's a lot of content to play during GW2 "content droughts". :) Here's the GW reddit discussion about it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabasco.1743 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I never had the chance to play the original Guild Wars. Did they solve the Hall of Monuments issue?

Didn't they say it was disabled, or you otherwise couldn't transfer your progress to GW2 any longer? No, I don't think they ever said that. Perhaps, you might be remembering the occasional 'bug' with GW and GW2 losing contact with each other, and the temporary removal of _displayed_ HoM achievements/items. It's always fixed within hours.

Didn't they say it was disabled, or you otherwise couldn't transfer your progress to GW2 any longer? The issue was related to people getting some HoM title in GW2 that they didn't earn in GW. It isn't disabled now. You can absolutely still progress HoM rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zionite.5924 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Of course it goes on sale after I purchased both expansions :( I wanted to get the deluxe versions originally but passed. I know I can upgrade for 2000 gems which is about $20, but if I purchased both expansions together at $50 total ($25 for each expansion) can I just pay the difference on the sale price for the deluxe version?

You can contact the CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below and discuss the issue with them. You might be better served purchasing the discounted editions first, and obtaining a refund on the previous purchases later, as, due to high volume, CS Team responses are taking longer than usual. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted June 21, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hall of Monuments is in fine shape. When there are the rare outages, the HoM temporarily disconnects, but once the server issue is corrected, all rewards and all benefits are restored, and usually that happens within a matter of minutes.
