The
HOT Merchandise?
The
Quick question on when HOT shirts and other merchandise will be available for sale? I get jealous when a dev gets to sport a cool shirt and I’m stuck with nothing.
Tons of HoT themed stuff was handed out at PAX East and EGX Rezzed earlier this year, so we know it does exist, its just not commercially available. It’ll come…eventually…
Don’t be so sure. In three years we have yet to get GW2 merchandise beyond a mouse pad or two. Sure there are Tshirts out there you can order but they aren’t officially licensed.

I have the official GW2 dragon shirt (Ingame too). Met the devs at a thing post launch and had them sign my collectors edition and everyone got a shirt! Was pretty cool!
As someone who works in the T-Shirt printing area, you honestly could always have it done. Technically it’s breaking copyrights, but there are so many illegitimate companies in this business (my companies main competition ) it’d be easy to get it done and as long as you’re not selling it no one would ever create an issue from it. Though one offs are much more expensive than large batches, and you’d likely spend double or more for it.
Just saying
If they don’t want to sell it to you, you can get it made. If they do want to sell it, you’d save money, they’d get money, seems like a good idea on their part if they’re able to handle the logistics of it without too much cost.
I don’t know what the HoT shirt looks like but for the big GW2 one you’d probably be looking at sublimation or rolling printing I believe it’s called, standard silk screen won’t get that same result very easily.

I’m pretty sure that’s not licensed, though. I have a life-long policy against purchasing pirated goods. If ANet says they’re cool with someone selling the HoT logo shirts or other GW2 related items, great, I’ll snap one up in a heartbeat.
Apparently the thread in which Gaile asked for merchandise suggestions has been deleted. I’m sad, I was hoping that would lead to nifty things.
