Guild Wars Bonus Mission Pack

[KingOfPain]

Guess I am buying GW:EN from the Official Guild Wars (online) Store.

For a limited time, when you spend $29 USD (€26/£17) or more in the Official Guild Wars (online) Store, you will get a Guild Wars Bonus Mission Pack for free! The Guild Wars Bonus Mission Pack will allow you to play through four pivotal moments in Guild Wars history. Earn unique rewards as you go face-to-face with Palawa Joko and his undead army as one of the key figures in the Battle of Jahai. Experience part of Cantha's turbulent past as you witness the violent Tengu Wars. Learn firsthand how the White Mantle rose to power in Kryta. And, finally, discover what became of Gwen after the Charr invaded her home and the Searing destroyed everything she'd ever known.

The Guild Wars Mission Pack will be released sometime between November 1 and November 30, 2007. The contents will then be permanently available to the accounts of those who spend $29 USD (€26/£17) or more in the Official Guild Wars (online) Store between 12 p.m. (Noon) PST July 5, 2007 and 12 p.m. (Noon) PST October 31, 2007. This promotion is limited to one per account. The Guild Wars Mission Pack is not transferable and will only be available to the exact account that fulfills this promotion.

yeah i saw that too...either I could buy 3 character slots...which I don't want to do, or buy needless PvP unlocks since I've unlocked pretty much everything with my PvE toons...or I could just wait...stupid ANet.

I would like to try those new missions out though.

You have to wait anyway, because the mission pack doesn't go live till November.

[Lurker Wyrm]

Does anyone else think this is going to wind up being part of the GW:EN pre-order package for retail stores?

[FoxBat]

I doubt it, because you can get the "preorder package" benefits by "pre-ordering" online as well. And the bonus mission being in there would be redundant.

That isn't to say this content might become avaliable some other way at a later date.

[KingOfPain]

You can pre-order Guild Wars: Eye of the North in the following ways:

• The Guild Wars Official Store — Just log into Guild Wars and click on link to the online store in the upper right-hand corner of the character selection screen
  

Nothing about pre-order in game yet, is this going live soon?

do you get this if you buy GW:EN in the online store?

[KingOfPain]

Not GW:EN, these are from the GW:EN pre-order package, box on online.

do you get this if you buy GW:EN in the online store?

"this"?

If you buy the GW:EN preorder you get access to those items.
If you buy GW:EN online before the end of October you will have spent enough to gain access to the bonus mission pack.

The preorder and actual GW:EN purchase tallied together will be enough to qualify for the mission pack.
