Guild Wars packs pack some punch
Looking for a stocking stuffer for your Guild Wars-addicted significant other? As an end of the year promotion, NCsoft has announced that they're bringing back Skill and Item Unlock Packs, giving players paid access to all the skills and items from every Guild Wars game from the original through Eye of the North, some geared towards PvE and others aimed specifically at facilitating PvP domination. As an added bit of value (perhaps to spread holiday cheer?), all packs will be selling at a 50% discount from now through the end of the year. So they're cheap, and they save your significant other some time they can spend with you... perhaps playing through Issue 11?
I've always been unsure of what to make of promotions like this, since it's not the first time these packs have been available. Granted, I never really played much Guild Wars so I don't have the best idea of how important itemization is in that game, but if Blizzard had offered a "Tier 1 pack" back in the day for a few shekels, I imagine I would have felt guilty about buying it.
Still, it's nice of them to offer, and you can't really argue with the price.
