As per the forum post. The Steam launch is planned for November 2020.

Funnily enough, the announcement was made as the very sceptical thread was among the most discussed.

    "please note that you cannot convert an existing Guild Wars 2 account to a Steam account or convert a Steam account to a non-Steam account."

    That is so weird.  Like ridiculously so.  I don't know of any other MMO that went to steam with that limitation.

    ahem.... EvE online?

    Didn't even know it was on steam lol.

    LOTRO, Marvel Heroes and I assume SWTOR don't limit you that way.

    Its because you can't buy certain packs on steam, you have to purchase them on their store front.


    EvE and Gw2 have a lot of issues battling RMT, and making it so you can access it on Steam or their Client would make it even worse to track I assume
    Meh, they could have asked Warframe or so on some idea's. They seemed to get that working fine.
    At least... Every month a good few users of them get put behind the permabanned bars for trying to rmt with steampacks ;D

    I can imagine Eve having a lot harder time with that compared to GW2 though so i can see it being locked there. Gw2 however is as easily rmt'd as any other mmo regardless so doubt it would make it much easier :)

    Is it really that weird that companies want to keep all that sweet MTX money for themselves?
    Sig so that badges don't eat my posts.
