Guild Wars 2: EU vs. US

We’ve all seen the announcement about the Guild Wars 2 pre-purchase options. Like everyone else, I squeed when I saw it, but something about the pricing was off: players in the EU will be charged approximately $50 more for the CE than players in the US. The EU CE is $129.99, which at today’s exchange rate means that we would be paying approximately $204.27 rather than the $149.99 that US players will be playing. Offensive, yes. Am I going to take a stand and NOT buy this game? Absofrickinlutely not. I’m not buying the CE edition, of course, but I am going to be all over that standard edition and headstart. :)

It feels as though we’ve all been waiting for this for years. Hell, we have been waiting for this for years.

  1. The sad economics of strength of the pound versus the strength of the dollar and cost of…zzzzz…omg I made myself fall asleep.

    I can understand the offense but it is just a sad truth that the pound is worth x against the dollar and somewhere it all evens itself out, boring, not fair but true.
