Whatever our attitudes towards GW2, from kaiten fangirl to jaded cynic, it's safe to say that almost all of FUBU will be there on Day One. That's a given.

It's also a given that GW2 - like all big MMO releases, especially those that are not sub-based - will have more than its fair share of conveniently mutually exclusive preorder digital redemption items from various corps that are not even marginally involved in gaming, including not only shopping outlets but also food and clothing vendors. Probably at least a dozen such exclusive items.

(Star Trek Online, for point of reference - many of these items are powerful)

GW2 will be the biggest and most expensive MMO launch ever, and just as the first day of Christmas steadily inches towards July, so too the preorder offers shall be hawked ever earlier, long before the game goes gold.

Not all of us are pathologically obsessive completionists or have a psychotic inability to deal with denied opportunities. Many, if not most of us, just don't give a shit. But surely there is benefit to be had, for all of us, in terms of things we can really agree on - in-game status and power, and cold hard cash - to work together to maximize our preorder opportunities.

So, I created this thread.

As exclusive preorder options or other ways of getting Free Stuff Now in GW2 emerge, please post them here. We should all work together to exploit every option in our respective regions (sit down, maple syrup sipper) such as certain chains and food franchises unique to our regions and mail/exchange items amongst ourselves.

So - if you become aware of any offers, please share them here.

I don't think it's possible to spend more money on an MMO than SWTOR already has and the only thing you can claim you really like is the sound.

Ok, the point got lost in verbiage because I'm really high.

Simply enough, let's share the preorder bonus items that are only regionally available, and our information about when and where they'll be available, so we can all go into GW2 with every possible in-game advantage.

The only 'preorder' bonuses available are the Hall of Monument stuff from GW1.

I see, I had no idea, that looks fascinating, I should get in on it. How does one pick up Guild Wars - just download and go, or do I need to buy a box?

Also, how do you know those will be the only rewards? Doesn't the very fact they're offering Day One bonuses suggest there could be others - especially for those who haven't played GW1?

Whatever else there might be, it's going to be cosmetic at best. You obviously need GW base game, and Eye of the North unlocks the hall of monuments. The rest of the expansions are not required to play the game. You can find a guide to do the basic 30/50, but I don't know of a specific link currently.

I've been planning on picking up the original trilogy + EOTN and farming my way to 30/50. No way in hell am I even going to attempt 50/50.

Mebbes people from here would be interested in banging it out together? If you haven't tried the game (Aestu), I'd recommend picking up the trial and seeing if you can get into it - it's definitely different.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/quic ... 54314.html

That's the guide I've been recommended to.

The one on the wiki is pretty solid as well

I do not recognize the concept of "purely cosmetic".

I think Jubber would.

Back to talking about GW1, sure - when works for you?

Whenever. Tonight (possibly) if you wanted to.

I would probably start with Nightfall though, since from what I've read it's the fastest to get points with early on, and you hit level 20 really quickly.

Prophecies is the slowest campaign :v
