Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I would like to buy the expansion. Initially I looked my local stores up and none of them has the physical edition. That was a huge disappointment for me, though I moved on and decided to buy the digital one.

I found out that ArenaNet/NCSoft continue to offer a game released in 2015 for a price of 45 Euro. Since the price was lower at my local stores back when the expansion was new I decided not to buy Heart of Thorns unless I am offered a discount.

Please, note I do not want to buy the product from g2a as the keys might be stolen, also I would not risk having my accout banned.

As a player who returned to the game after a while it is known for me the expansion enjoyed it’s discounts a couple months ago, though I was not interested at that time. It is very hard for me to believe the discount was not made permanent after such a long time.

I hope ArenaNet will find my post and respond.

You could just wait until the next discount and pick it up then, or purchase it from an approved third party, I believe Amazon had a sale a couple of weeks ago.

It can be assumed (but not guaranteed) that the next discount will come around the time of the next Living Story chapter, as that is when they have done the last couple of discounts.

It’s often discounted at each of ANet’s various official retailers. Just keep your eye peeled.

Can ArenaNet approve of the link given above and ensure me I would not lose/get my account banned if I decide to buy the game from that source?

You can verify it yourself by looking at Anet’s list of authorized retailers here. If it isn’t listed you are taking a risk.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/retailers/

For example DL Gamer shows as an authorized retailer under the list for the UK, US and several other countries.

If you look at the gw2 Web site, DL Gamer is listed as an official retailer (under digital download)

Amazon were recently selling this at a discount, although that seems to have ended presently.

Well, I had no idea a page like this existed, thank you.

I checked and a Polish retailer seems to have a digital key available. I had no idea it is an authorized one, so now there is no need for me to even exchange currencies.

No idea where did they hide that page. Should be more visible. Thank you once again.

Kinguin as the cheapeast price atm if I’m not mistaken. around 23€.

Still too expensive imho >_>

Not really hidden. There’s are links to the Knowledge Base on every Guild Wars 2 site page, just as on this one. Services – Support – Knowledge Base (or directly with the Support links).

Good luck.

Shop → Partners and Sponsers seems a bit more straightforward

Although that part is a bit of a mess as well.

I’d bet that whenever the new expansion comes out, it’ll come with HoT. So, you could just wait until then.

Yes, indeed. Thanks for showing it’s even less hidden. =)

It’s the cheapest ‘still legit’ site I could find

There are rumours of another expansion release this year, so I would wait to see if that is the case and buy that instead. You will get the new expansion and HoT free. And if you dont even have the base game, you get all of them!
Note you dont get a key for each expansion, if you already have HoT you just get the expansion, no key to give to a friend.

There are, Papaya is a pretty famous leak as it mentioned the pvp arena and the legendary mace Eureka, which we actually got. Problem is, the announcement will be propably around Q2 (maybe) but then it’d be another half a year of teasers and trailers before we get the expansion.
