Guild Wars 2

Sorry, for adding to the pile of HoT threads but I want to clarify a few things.

Some people seem to be under the impression that when they buy HoT, they will lose all their stuff, because they will be forced to play under a new account.

This is simply not true. I just got it and was able to add it to my account. (I even got an in-game ‘thank you’ note).

How about the ultimate edition, can it be merged to your current account?

Cyvien, I bought the Ultimate Edition in game and it merged automatically.

Roger, ultimate seems like the fairest pricing of the three. I will get it then :P

That is not at all the issue here. I already have a main and secondary account, and wouldn’t mind a third purely for the purpose of laurel farming. It’s 50+g a month for a simple login. The issue is that if I choose to get the xpac, either I have to not receive my ‘complementary’ base game (upgrade goes on main account, base game is gone) or I have to accept that my xpac now lives on an account that I haven’t already poured thousands of gems into over the course of the last two years. I’m not going to pay more for the expansion than I did for either of my base copies because as it stands this is an awful deal.
