Question about CE upgrading to Heavensward in the future

[SecretCrowds]

They did say that there will be an option to upgrade to digital CE. Go check one of the summaries of the liveletter.

Will there be a digital collector's edition upgrade option to receive the collector's edition in-game items?

Yes, there will be. We'll announce further details, including pricing, at a later date.

That's as of March 14th in the Letter from the Producer LIVE - Special Edition Digest thread. If they ever did get back with those "further details", though, I must have missed it.

Welp, that settles it and proves me wrong. Sorry, I just didnt understand why someone would buy a standard edition then upgrade to a collectors edition. why wouldnt you just get the CE in the first place? Oh well. more options for those who need it... Hope the PS3, PS4, Steam preorders come soon. I'm guessing either the 2nd or the 9th. that should still be enough time to do what needs to be done.

There are several reasons. Some people just enjoy having a physical memento, but aren't interested in collecting extra items they don't want. In this case, some may want a physical copy of the standard edition just to have a box and a disc, while also desiring the digital perks that come from the collector's edition, yet not being interested in the statue. An upgrade path is perfect for that.

There are also those that may simply change their mind and desire an upgrade as their enjoyment of the game increases, or even as their finances allow an expanded purchase. Again, an upgrade path is perfect for those as well.

For me this quote is true...I don't have room in this house for a statue, even if that is one nice looking statue.

I guess there is also cost. People might only have the money for the standard but by next payday have enough for the upgrade. Just because I didnt see the point to it doesnt mean the need isnt there. I support it and I'm glad people have the options. Now, if only we could actually have the land to buy a house and could reduce the RMT's but buying an expansion comes first (/cheeky comments off)
