Guild Wars 2

What is the difference between a free account and the one I just got?

Map chat, full access to trading post, pvp, wvw, can enter zones and all maps freely, and daily login bonuses.

Welcome to tyria!

Here’s the list of differences

Thanks guys. I think that is fair enough, so won’t complain. (like it would do good anyway)

Also if you bought it from ANet directly, you get the expansion on Oct 23 and all the goodies therein, because ANet isn’t selling anything but HoT now.

This. Did you buy the original GW2 or did you buy Heart of Thorns. If the original game, how much did you pay for it? If you paid 40 bucks for the original game from a third party vendor then you got shafted (since you could have spent 50 and got the base game plus the expansion).

60 euro core game 3 years ago and 50$ for HOT. The game is worth every penny paid for!
