Guild Wars 2

Just a short question. If I buy HoT to upgrade an exsisting account, what do I get in compensation for not needing the base game. All I could find was what I would have gotten had I preordered, but nothing else.

Do late adopters still get the extra character slot when upgrading? Do I get anything?
This will determine whether I buy it or not. After all, I’m Canadian and that’s $70 for this…

So if I just loose half of that value, no way I could support that. Far as I’m concerned, that amounts to theivery so hense compensation is needed since I don’t need, nor want, the base game I already own.

Do not get extra any more. Had to prepurchase and apply code before HoT launch to get character slot.

Alright, thanks. If I wanted to uselessly waste and burn money for nothing, I’d rather do it myself. Shame anet decided to remove incentive to buy for people who owned the game for years. If I bought this, I’d just feel riped of, seing as I only wvw.

Shame, since I also lost any reason to spend gems. It’s a shame you need HoT to stand a chance roaming.

Shame that an 800gem char slot is what cost them a sale and future gem purchases.

They should have removed the detail about HoT including the core game a while ago. It doesn’t even include it considering the core game is free and from a product perspective, HoT is simply the game.

There’s really no point in buying it however if you limit yourself to WvW. You might as well wait for the next expansion and hope HoT is simply given away like the core game. If you played PvE, consider that the living story will only be free for those that own HoT.

If you want however, HoT is $37 (~$52 CAD) at dlgamer.us (official retailer). Sales like this have been happening all along, even back during pre-purchasing.
