Guild Wars 2: The Wallet Arrives

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

Tired of inventory Tetris with all of the various collectible things in Guild Wars 2? We thought so. Well, take heart! ArenaNet has come up with a unique feature to help those pesky housekeeping chores. Called "The Wallet", everything placed in it will be account bound. How's that for cool?

The wallet! One place for all of your Badges of Honor, dungeon tokens, coins, karma, gems, and laurels, and more. More importantly, everything existing on the wallet will be bound to your account. That means that the sum of all gold, karma, tokens, etc. across all your characters will all be dumped into this wallet and shared across all your characters.

What if you get an Ascalonian Tear on your ranger but want to spend it on your warrior? No problem – now that will be possible!

What if you have 10 gold on you mesmer, and 4 gold on your thief? Once you log in, your currencies wallet will show 14 gold – the sum of the gold on your account!

    It was a pain in the butt to keep up with all the alts. This helps a ton.

    This is probably the Best Present from Arenanet so far!!!

    Knowing as we all know that GW2 has no subscription fees...and all the money they make comes from Gem Store.... Giving all this extra bank space for free is simply....a great present for all!

    Got to love ArenaNet and how they treat their community.

    Kudos!

    I can say that GW2 has the most convenient features of any MMO EVER. I'd be surprised, if in the next 3 yearsanother mmo will be able to replicate all the things they have done to make gameplay smooth.

     

    and then they do this. Awesome.

    This actually a good idea and something I'd like to see other MMO's do.

    Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?

    Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.

    Nice move, Anet. I just recently hopped on after a long hiatus and immediately became frustrated with my bursting inventory - something which no doubt contributed to my logging off after just a short period of play as I did not want to deal with it. Since they are obviously trying to get players to return lately, this is a clever, subtle move toward that.

    its just an update patch. I didnt pay a cent for that feature and its great.

    Anet keeps showing they care about both their games and their players. Thats why they get my money and not the other greedy guys.

    Nothing! That's the best part. It is free to everyone, all characters :D

    I really wish they left us the option to deposit our gold in the bank still.  I used it for my alts, as sort of a reserve bank.  Oh well, it's not a game-breaking issue and i'll live with it  I'm so glad they added the wallet though, since it took up so much inventory space.

    Might want to read the OP.

    Either way I agree it's a feature that a lot of people would like to see in more MMOs.

    Barter Wallet isn't the same thing and you basically need to "upgrade" it through the ingame store to bring it to GW2 level of service overall.

    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

    I had enough of GW2 and only log in once in awhile when my other games start to get boring.
    But they have by far the best buy to play / free to play mmo ever made.

    Anet deserves a 10/10 for their marketing and cash shop design.
    Trading gold for gems is one of those things that let anyone buy everything they need.
    real cash for gems trading
    gems for gold trading

    Anyone can buy anything without spending their cash.
    The only mmo that have a similar design is Eve Online, buying sub with ingame currency is one of the greatest feats i ever seen in mmo's.

    I like this feature so much cause now i can put all those badges from dungeons i dont do anymore away without having to delete them, that pasky 20 HotW badges that u can't spend but dont wanna trow away =x

    On the bad side i wish i could segregate the inventory money from the bank money, because now i have all my 250g starring at me yellin' "COME ON SPEND ME! SPEND ME! come on try again the f&## mystic toiled you are lucky  today, or even buy some new skins for your norn range come on!"

    now: GW2 (11 80s).
    Dark Souls 2.

    this is great.

    Just want to try GW2,  i prefer to play least popular class for many reasons. And i couldnt find any uptodate info.

    English is not my first language. I think i misspelled "least" )))

    I don't think there is a least played profession. It seems to be evenly matched as far as races are concerned.

    Nice move ArenaNET! Now this I can say is both practical and smart. So much better than updates about kites.....

    Works like a charm, though I do wish I could deposit my gold somewhere to prevent impulsive buying.

    Also, I believe the least played class is the engineer and the least favorite race is the sylvari.
