Basically as the title says, just curious. And if I can manage to get one, can it still be usable or do those keys no longer work?

Some places were still selling them for somewhere in the 20 dollar range and they should still work, but for a few reasons they’re not the best deal.

For example, with the core game you can’t unlock masteries, so once you’re at max level all your experience is wasted. It also seems like people with HoT will have advantages in Fractals which will hopefully in December become a decent way of getting some gold.

i just created an account for my niece to play with me (no Hot) .. when it gets to the spot for the serial code..i just left it blank & filled in the rest & clicked accept. this worked fine & i received the email for account activation. she just made her 1st character & is playing

once you’ve created your account, you can then directly download the core game via “my account” tab

Look in different sites that still hsve copies of the old version for sale. Places like Amazon.com sell the old version still for ~20$.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

He probably just wants a mule account which has no advantage for being HoT capable.

If that’s not the case, I also would recommend getting HoT through a third party. They go for as low as ~30 €.

Yes, you can still buy it. I bought a deluxe edition a couple of weeks ago for £12.
I’m surprised ANet no longer list the unexpanded game in their official shop.
Plenty of room for selling a few editions of both the core and the expanded versions at different prices points in that shop I reckon.

And on this forum there is no shortage of HoT fans telling other players to stick to the core stuff. ;p

I would not recommend that, at least not if they are not on the official reseller list
else you mostly will get banned because the key was bought with stolen credit cards.

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

The official reseller list is just a list of “official reseller”. Everyone and their mother can still set up shop and buy the game for resale from a distributor, then scan the codes from the box and sell them online. Every bit as legit.

Of course some shadier online shops may be selling stolen keys, but that’s another story.

One of the official retailers (funstock) had HoT on sale for $34 US about a month ago. Considering that, buying just the core game for ~$20 seems silly.

Have you seen after release in the Help Forums how many people were banned
because the bought their keys from sites like MMOGA ?

If something is too cheap there mostly is a reason, or would you buy HoT for 40
just to resell it for 30 ?

Here’s one official retailer selling at about 33 EUR:

I bet he’s not losing money on that either. Games are priced differently in different markets.

We’re not talking about HoT, we’re talking about the core game. Some legit retailers have old stock of the boxed version of the game and they have to discount them to sell them now that HoT is here. That is what I bought. Nothing dodgy about it. I’d avoid any site that is selling just an emailed key unless they are listed by ANet as official.
