Guild Wars 2

I’m relatively new to GW2 (about 2 weeks into it) and been watching the March sales with interest, but have yet to find anything extremely “must have” to a new player like myself. (town clothes and other stuff is kinda nice, but us new players are usually more interested in more char slots and other items that aren’t cosmetic of limited in use.)

So I’m curious if anyone knows if these kind of “service” goods will also be for sale at some point this month or if it’s all the other junk that’s going to be on sale? (I’ve been waiting to buy a few more char slots in the hopes of a sale, and getting tired of using my 5th slot as a “reroll” slot just so I can try out all the char classes.)

Past sales being any indication, they will never tell you when anything “good” is going on sale until less than 24 hours ahead of time. These March sales are the most advance notice I can recall ever being given and, I suppose not surprisingly, so far nothing’s been of interest.

Regardless, supposedly “account upgrades” are included at some point in this month’s sales, but that could just mean individual character bag expansions for all we know. Especially since bank slots went on sale a month ago (less?) and character slots have only been on sale once in the game’s lifetime (as far as I know) around the new year.

General advice is to stock up on gems when they’re cheap and hope you get lucky. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if character slots are another “flash sale” or put on sale a week after March since that’s how they seem to like to handle the things they know will be popular.

Theres a large problem with giving info on when a sale will be as it greatly can affect gem transactions. Which in some cases can be a RMT’s dream. Now as much as i want to see keys on discount.. and I do.. I know that I just have to wait ^^

It’s probably worth waiting to see. The Law of the Universe states that if you buy something, it goes on sale tomorrow lol

I believe the maximum discount they advertised was 40%. For something like char slots (i.e. stuff people actually want) I’d expect the discount to be more modest. So in any case I wouldn’t hold my breath for them.

I don’t know whether character slots will be offered during the March sales, but if they are, it would be reasonable expect the discount to be about the same as the last time they were on sale (25% – reduced from 800 to 600 gems).
