I started playing Guild Wars 2 at release and the more I played the more I became excited about its lore and history.
The problem is that I would love to be able to play the first game and play through everything that happened before GW2 but every time I try to buy the game from the NCSoft store using paypal, I get an error message, and when I try to buy it on steam I get the message “This item is currently unavailable in your region.”
Since I live in Brazil I’ve been through this before but is there any way around this? I would really love to play this game, any idea how I can buy it in my region?

Maybe the problem is with your credit card? I’m from brazil too and i heard about some restrictions that creditcard companies made about buying in international websites, because some of those websites, like steam, show the price in brazilian currency, but they were getting problems because that price usually was different from the one you pay when you get the bill, causing some problems so the credit card companies stopped accepting those kinds of trades.

See if its affecting other purchages you do in steam. This problem shouldn’t affect purchages with paypal though..
