Due to PAX East now in full swing this weekend up in snow-buried Boston, they’ve announced the game is 75% off (for only 48 hours)! But only through their online store. Aka, don’t expect to get it through Amazon. Freaked out when I saw the news and instantly went to go buy it. I mean, fuck waiting ’till the 17th, when it’s on sale RIGHT NOW! 😀
So, I got the Digital Deluxe edition for $15, which would normally go for $60. That’s not bad at all. It comes with a plethora of free stuff.
It was a really good thing when the Twitter account for Guild Wars 2, popped up in my list of people to follow. I would had never known of this sale.
Getting it got a bit hairy. The purchase page was a bit confusing. It wanted you to enter your Credit Card info, yet also had a section for PayPal. Anyway, I accidentally entered the wrong email. I made it as b.dobson1@twc.com, when there is no actual ‘1’ in the email. Yet I still paid for it.
I panicked when I didn’t receive an email from them giving me a link to begin downloading. Yes, it’s a digital download.
To make a long story short, I found out all I needed to do was register an account with them, and then saw a download link to their installer. Currently downloading it. So, all is good. I think anyway. And it also proved, there’s no subscription fees. Very happy with that.
Now when it gets done downloading, I am still not going to play it until… for some time. I only bought it now because of the sale, but I still want a worthy transition.
Basically, in WoW, I just got my Worgen Warlock to 100 last night. I need to do the same for my Tauren Hunter. Then I’ll do what I can tolerate in 6.1. After that, I will transition to Guild Wars 2.
