Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I have bought the game a while back, and have been playing. I have messaged the support about HoT and I learned that there is no discount for people who have purchased the core game before, nor any advantages. I don’t have a complaint about it but I have one question;

After purchasing the expansion, do I get a code for a core game if I already have purchased the core account before? It makes sense that each and every person gets the same benefits if they pay the same amount of money. I could use that code for a new account for a friend or an alternative account. That is 5 character slots, I mind you.

So, if I am not getting a game code if I already bought the game before why is that? I am paying the same amount of money as a new player, it makes no sense to purchase less for the same amount of money, specially for that price tag. I understand it is good for the company on expanding it’s community, but i feel it is unfair that I don’t get the same benefits if i am paying the same amount of money, just because I am a regular customer. Well, that is what I heard from friends, is it true?

Thanks

The core game is now free. Your friend can play it at any time.

I believe people who bought the core game prior to a certain date get an extra character slot.

Time is your advantage. You got all the things in the past years that new players wont be able to experience or get.
The price is for the expansion. Core game is now free. It was already priced at $10 prior to expansion announcement.
If you upgrade before the release date, you will get 1 free char slot (a $10 value).

This has already been discussed here

You can absolutely get the same (dis)advantage as a new player, and use your Serial Key code to start a new account from scratch (with 5 character slots).

Good luck.
