Sales Temporarily Disabled on Guild Wars 2 Website

[Shawn Zipay]

The Guild Wars 2 team has just revealed that they have temporarily disabled sales via their first-party website. Why? Well, because so many people have bought and are playing the game that they want to ensure the best possible experience for the current players.

Ensuring the best possible play experience for our fans is our highest priority. We’ve said before that we would be willing to temporarily disable first-party digital sales if we felt our high player concurrency may compromise player experiences. We have now reached that point.

Effective immediately we have disabled sales via buy.guildwars2.com. To be clear, box and digital sales are still available via our retail partners. We are tracking our concurrency closely while expanding our infrastructure. We’ll re-enable first-party digital sales as soon as we feel that we can do so safely.

As noted, sales of the game are still available from other retailers, both digital and from retail stores.

Well, digital retailers are out of stock too. Amazon (standard), GMG, Gamefly are out.
Good thing I bought mine yesterday so I can play it all weekend long.
