However, if you want to continue playing on your account, you'll be treated as a veteran. Get the refund, then buy the expansion and play on a new account. You account you registered with the game will be closed.īut if you haven't made much in-game progress on that account, and you also want to play Heart of Thorns, that route could presumably also save you some money.

If you bought the game between 23rd January and 16th June and don't want to continue playing, you can contact the customer support team and get full refund. Refunds are applicable only to copies of Guild Wars 2 bought from the game's website. "This was not our intention and amendments made to the FAQ following the announcement were a good-faith attempt to clarify this misinterpretation."

"Some read the FAQ as us urging players to buy the core game now, in preparation for the expansion release," ArenaNet explained. This was before they realised the core game would be bundled with the Heart of Thorns expansion. The "comprehensive refund policy" is for people who felt misled by an official FAQ saying they would need the core Guild Wars 2 game in order to play the expansion. This could "take us some time", but ASAP is the plan and specific timing will be shared when it is known.

The veteran reward will be an additional character slot.ĪrenaNet explained: "For all players who registered the core Guild Wars 2 game prior to January 23, 2015, and who upgrade their account by pre-purchasing and registering any Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns edition before Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns' launch, we will add one additional character slot to your Guild Wars 2 account." There's also a word on expansion pricing in the future: "In the future, if we release further Guild Wars 2 expansions, we plan to offer all of the prior expansions, the core game, and the latest expansion for one single purchase price," ArenaNet said.

UPDATE 23RD JUNE: ArenaNet has formally responded, announcing a new veteran reward and refund policy. In other words, the buying options next expansion could be more or less the same. I said I was concerned that as that bundle gets bigger, the price tag gets higher, but I got the same response. So will that be at the same £35 price tag? "We can't confirm pricing for possible future expansions," ArenaNet said. That's the same as with the £34.99/€44.99 Heart of Thorns bundle, in other words. What it means is that for one price you will get the new expansion plus the original game and any previous expansions thrown in, an NCSoft spokesperson clarified. "We could offer different SKU 'packages' just as we are currently with Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns," ArenaNet said. Did it mean there will only be one purchase-option if/when another expansion comes out? No. UPDATE 25TH JUNE: I followed the following statement up with ArenaNet: "In the future, if we release further Guild Wars 2 expansions, we plan to offer all of the prior expansions, the core game, and the latest expansion for one single purchase price."
