Guild Wars 2

just found out from an article that Anet will give you the money you paid for the base game back if you purchased it from their site after January 23 of this year. You can get it deducted from the new expansion price ($50) or get a full refund. I submitted a ticket and will see how they respond.

from the article:

“For all players who purchased the Guild Wars 2 core game from our website and registered it between January 23, 2015 and June 16, 2015 in anticipation of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, we will automatically refund what you paid for the core game should you decide to pre-purchase Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns from our website or in-game store any time through July 31, 2015. If you take advantage of this refund and pre-purchase Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, all of your current account progress will be kept intact.”

“If you purchased the core Guild Wars 2 game from our website and registered it between January 23, 2015 and June 16, 2015, and you no longer want to play Guild Wars 2, we will refund your core game purchase price and close your account provided you make the request by July 31, 2015. Please contact our Customer Support team to make this request."

I am fairly new to GW2 and recently bought the game for full price ($40) from the official site. Now I feel like I’ve wasted my money. I should have just waited to get the base game with the expansion for another $10. I feel like I will be left behind if I don’t get HoT. I reached lvl 80 with one character (RNG) in the base game so far and it was fun if a bit repetitive feeling.

I don’t think I am going to continue to play the game anymore because of the expansion price. They should have made the expansion a lot less expensive for those who already purchased the game. Especially someone like me who had just paid full price a few months ago.

Oh well I guess I had some fun while it lasted. I’m just really disappointed because one of the reasons I got GW2 in the first place is because I thought I wouldn’t have to pay more money to play the game aside from shop items. For all of you who get the expansion and the new players who get the base + HoT for $50, enjoy the new game content but my adventure has come to an end……Thanks ArenaNet…/sigh
