I understand that most companies do what Anet is doing to attract new business and it worked for my purchasing HoT for my son. Most companies will almost always offer an incentive to maintain is current business. After reading later posts I see that we get an extended char slot-while this does nothing for me it was an offer.
I’m sure this has been mentioned over the 121pages or in another posting but will this expansion eventually force the core players to switch over and pay anyway or is this a stand alone expansion-as you said the core being a bonus
I appreciate your replies btw, Ayril

There’s currently a debate as to whether future living story seasons will require the expansion. We haven’t gotten anything from Anet regarding whether this is true or not. However, Anet has stated several times that those who do not purchase the expansion will still be able to play the core game.

Thanks!

The price is not being bumped up for veteran players. You’ll start off exactly in the same position as a new player would.

I have to pay another $49 on top of the original $59 I originally paid.
Where do you not see this as a bump in price and how does $49 more put me in the same position as a new player?…Seems I’m down $49 more which isn’t exactly the same

I’m not saying I should get veteran treatment…Hell, I’m a military veteran and don’t get that at most places. All I’m saying is there should be an extended offer for those who have support Anet over the years. I got $50 credit and 6months HBO from Dish for being a loyal customer and asking if there were any new offers…I’m not complaining as much as I am asking…

This pretty much sucks-I purchased both GW1 and 2 at the beginning and have always been pleased with the way ArenaNet did stuff but this is a crock of kitten…
I paid $59 for the game a couple years ago and now I have to pay again? I just purchased the game for my son which comes with both-cheaper than I paid originally…Why the hell would I pay over $100 total as a veteran player and the newby pays $49. Way to stick it to those who have stuck with you ArenaNet

Same question I have. Bought 1200 Gems today from Game Stop. So, is it confirmed this method works?
