Guild Wars 2

I understand that this is technically not the correct avenue for such questions, but I truly feel that the avid readers of this particular forum will have a unique view on the matter at hand. One I would respect far more than the tendentious responses I may receive from the general forum.

Moving on…

My friend has a 13" Macbook air 1.7GHz 8gb ram. I was looking into gifting him a copy of the game for xmas. A few questions….

1. Considering all of the current problems with the mac beta – should I buy this as a gift to a Mac fan boy? I’d hate for him to be discouraged from a multitude of bugs, inevitably giving up on such a great game.

2. In the process of buying the game through the GW2 website – I’m asked for a email address, Does this need to be his email or mine?

3. Finally, correct me if I’m wrong, but If i do deiced to get a hard copy of the game via Amazon-all he would need from the box is the game key. Proceeding from there to download the Mac beta.

Thank you, in advance, for your input.

Not right now no. The current state of our Mac client which isn’t native it’s a cider wrapper is a bit of a joke. I would hold find something else your friend likes. The Mac support is pretty horrendous. I would not recommend this game to anyone in its current state and probably at all ever again.

I couldn’t agree with Mike more. Its simply not worth the money and frustration when there is, in reality, no support for mac users.

3 is correct.
I’m not sure about 2 – the key would be sent to whatever email address you use – but I’m not sure if it will force you to register with that email as well or not.
