Guild Wars 2

Hi tyrians,
back when HoT came out I remember that the devs ensured an additional character slot for the old players of gw2, on top of the one in the bundles. Is it so also for PoF or this is not the case since there are no new classes to try?
Thanks in advance

They added a character slot if you pre-purchased HoT because existing players complained that they were having to buy the whole base game again since it was included in the purchase price.

After much debate on the forum a few people suggesting an extra character slot as a compromise (since the base game had previously been sold for $10, the same price as a slot, and because people were separately complaining about having to buy a slot to play a revenant).

With PoF they reduced the price and gave you the option to buy HoT as well instead of simply including it.

So there’s nothing for existing players to complain about (or at least they aren’t complaining about that) and no need for Anet to offer a compensation prize.

That’s not how I remember it. There was a slot given for prepurchasing though

No new class and lower price point for the base pack. The reason people complained on HoT was because GW2 owners (veterans) should have gotten it cheaper than others, since it included GW2 for an extra “premium” expansion price. This is pretty much what has happened for PoF. PoF+HoT (ie GW2) is €60 I think.

As I imagined. Thanks
