Thanks Anet for this Moved. Although price is a bit high but as a veteran i will be there : )

however another question i want to ask is. did HOT release any Hard copy? i prefer a hard copy can keep. (all GW-GW2 copy is on my bookshelves )

also recording on “Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns edition before Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns‘ launch, we will add one additional character slot to your Guild Wars 2 account.”

meaning if hard copy release it won’t have extra slot?

I have most of my GW2 related stuff together on a shelf; the books, the 4 campaigns for GW1 as physical copies, the beta-weekend disc case, and the GW2 physical disc case. (Sadly I never got a hold of a Rytlock, the shipping was just far too much to get it to Canada)

Question being, can I expect a physical copy of ‘Heart of Thorns’? In Canada?
I’m sure it’s the last thing on people’s minds but it would be nice to add to my shelf.

“Q: Will this expansion only be available digitally, or will there be a boxed edition as well?
A: Both. Once Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is available, you’ll be able to buy it digitally or get boxed editions at retail stores.”

Ahh, thanks man! Must have scrolled past that.
I guess it’ll just be up to my specific retailer if it’s available or not.
I hope I don’t have to take the train to Toronto just to get a copy like I did for GG:Xrd.

I’m not sure there will be a boxed edition, or at least a boxed Collector’s Edition. Now that they’re selling pre-orders on it, we have all-digital Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate tiers, without a physical or Collector’s one in sight.

They could still do a boxed release, but the problem with doing a Collector’s Edition is that some people are going to buy the Ultimate ($100) right away because they want the biggest version, and then find themselves in a pickle if Anet announces a boxed Collector’s Edition for $150 or whatever. Cue mass refund requests and order-switching.

I mean, they could still do that, but it would a pretty boneheaded move due to all of the customer service calls they’d have to deal with. There could be a “Heroic Edition” or something down the line, like they did with the base game, but it would be silly to burn that initial purchase hype and then announce the REAL ultimate edition a month later.

I want a boxed edition too because I want to use my Best Buy store credit card to purchase the expansion.

I have to buy the expansion for multiple active accounts (one for NA and one for EU). Right now, I only have enough room on my Bank of America account to purchase one digital copy. I can’t use my Best Buy store card to buy the digital version. This sucks!

EDIT: I’m also going to add that I get more rewards with my Best Buy store card. That’s why I prefer to buy HoT straight from Best Buy itself. I hope Anet releases a boxed version.

Yes. Starting on June 23, 2015, you’ll be able to pre-purchase boxed and digital editions of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns from our official retail partners. You may also be able to pre-order through retailers, but there is no official pre-order program and pre-purchasing is the only way to receive the benefits of our pre-purchase program, including access to all of the Beta Weekend Events.

I really prefer physical copies instead of boring digital ones. It sucks that people like me will miss the title and Beta-access just because we’d rather have physical copy instead.

I’d like clarification about physical copy pre-ordering, since the FAQ seems to be little out of date.

@Regina: Just want to put my 2 pence in. Prices are grand, no problems there. In game items seem cool. Very disappointed that there is a physical collectors edition, but I can understand you probably have financial reasons for not being able to do one. Also quite disappointed that I can’t buy an Ultimate Edition from a retailer. My partner and I would both be buying the Ultimate if we could get a physical box. We liked boxed games. And Books. We’re old fashioned. So we will probably only be buying the Standard Edition.
Feel like this prepurchase scheme may have been rushed through to gather some revenue and could have been thought out better to include the desires of more players. Saying that unfortunately makes me sound entitled like those who are currently moaning about prices and packages… What can ya do….

You’re not going to miss the title and beta access.

It says in the FAQ and has been quoted in this topic that boxed copies will be available for pre-purchase from the 23rd of June. That’s next Tuesday, 6 days time.

They’re not going to bring the expansion out before then and I’d be surprised if they even have a beta before then. Therefore it’s still in the pre-purchase period and you’ll get the same things as everyone else.

Meh, what a disapointment.
It`s not like there was a demand for boxed editions in general.

I am sorry. Who didn`t want a cool wooden box like you gave out on the community events?
A cool T-shirt? A little figurine? An Artbook? A simple map?

Seriously. Maybe it isn`t as profitable, but it is very good marketing.

I am seriously not ready to spend up to 100€ just for digital stuff. Digital stuff which is really only “nice to have” and the only one worth having should have been in the expansion already: The Character Slot for which I am certainly not paying 25€ more.

Sure the digital stuff is “nice”, even it banks on group mentality for the Guild Hall decoration and the other things are just “okay” and allready showing the future of the gemstore, which is just scary. Not in a good way…

Combine that with the forced core game I am not seeing the value here on the digital market. Money I would have spend on the physical market right away, though.
btw. 4000Gems? What a joke. Courency you create youself? Thats like giving someone a gift card: “here, buy yourself something nice.”
How is that Ultimate?

There is no boxed Ultimate Edition version of the game and no other editions of the game being offered beyond what you see on buy.guildwars2.com.

I have no qualms over the costing of the expansion and if it comes to it I will purchase the ultimate edition without a doubt after having played this game since release.

However, I’m slightly concerned about the lack of physical edition. On my shelf in my room I have GW Prophecies, Factions, Nightftall, EoTN and Guild Wars 2 next to all of my favourite classic Nintendo games.

Is there really going to be no physical edition or will we see it announced in the near future?

I plan to purchase the digital ultimate edition but I’d just like clarification on a physical copy release and when/if it will come.

Well, it did say that they’ll be selling it through Best Buy, GameStop, and one other place that I don’t recall. You can’t get the most expensive version that way, but the other two are supposed to be there as of sometime before the end of this month.

(They gave a date, but I don’t recall what it was.)

If you wait, you might miss a beta event that won’t have much more than what we’ve seen before. So, no real harm in waiting for a bit and then seeing if any stores near you have it for prepurchase.

Hey guys, I know A.Net mentioned that there will be both digital and physical copies of HoT available, but I can’t find any further information on this. I plan on purchasing the Ultimate Edition, but I want to get the physical copy of HoT. Is there any way I can do this? I’d even be willing to pay a little extra more for a physical copy of the expansion itself, but I also want all the benefits that come with the Ultimate Edition. I’m just not willing to spend $99 + $50 for a physical copy if I can’t get the Ultimate Edition with a physical copy.

So basically, my question is this: does anyone know if/how/where I can pre-order a physical version of the expansion, but still get the benefits of the Ultimate Edition without having to buy the two separate? GW2 is pretty much my favorite MMO at this point, so I’d absolutely LOVE to have a physical version of HoT if possible.

Thanks ahead of time for any responses.

Is that a rumor or did Anet buff veteran accounts with a free GW2 pass?

I’m 100% okay with this as a resolution, its effectively (pricewise) the same as handing out sale-price GW2 accounts, the base game can have ads for HoT plastered all over to advertise to new players that we give the codes to.
