You might have noticed that we are in Germany, covering MMORPG news from the biggest European gaming convention. As announced before ArenaNet is not doing anything “spectacular” in terms of presentation because the game is about to launch and everyone is hard at work to make that happen. Luckily, we came across several very friendly community managers and some old Aion friends and managed to get something really exciting for you guys. As you might be aware, Arena Net is giving away in-game codes that will unlock a special item (It’s a white T-shirt with red dragon on it.) for your character once the game launches. You can obtain these if you visit Guild Wars 2 booth at Gamescom.
For those of you that are not at the show in Cologne, we managed to obtain some codes and get the item anyways. We did not get many, only four, but it’s better than nothing. The only thing you need to do is use the widget bellow and enter the giveaway by following us on twitter (you get 3 entry points for this) or leaving a comment here on the site (you get one entry point for this). The winners will be chosen at random on August 21st and notified by email so make sure you leave proper contact information when you sign into the widget. Duplicate entries will not be accepted and will be removed. Thank you all for participating and good luck.
GW2 Life In-game Item Giveaway
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to an unprecedented demand we are forced to end the giveaway prematurely. We initially wanted to run it for 4 days, but we had 4000 people apply within the first 8 hours. Letting this continue with only 4 keys to be given away would just be pointless, so we have decided to cut short the giveaway. We thank you all for participating and we will be contacting the lucky winners with their codes within the next 24 hours. We talked to NCSoft and we were told that a larger batch of keys will be available for us to giveaway so all of you have at least a decent chance of getting one. If we continued this giveaway, the ratio would be one key to 1000 applicants and probably 1 to 10000 within a few days. You might as well play the lottery with those odds …
Omg I so need one to help fuel my gw2 addiction
Gutted that I couldn’t make GamesCom this year, especially with GW2 giving away in-game items!
I was wondering when somebody was going to do a giveaway with these π
So, does anyone already know what exactly these items are going to be?
Would love to win this! =D
I look forward to using your services when the game launches.
Mahalo
Thank you for doing this! I visit the website quite often but really wasn’t expecting this at all. Good luck,

Thanks guys, wish me luck
Thanks a lot for doing this! Good luck to everyone who enters. π

A random comment. kthxbai :*
Just kidding. π
T – 9 days.
Preorder people will know.
great job
I am very jelly just now.
wow..u guys did awesome jobs by doing this giveaway π
Good Luck everyone!
Thanks for the opportunity guys π
This is fantastic! I saw that they were giving away codes at gamescom but was upset that I would never get the chance to win one. Thanks guys!
Thanks very much for giving us this opportunity!
Thanks for this awesome offer! I was afraid I’d never get a chance to get my hands on a code π
Thanks for a chance in this contest!
If only I could whisper from Wisconsin!
Best game ever, can’t wait for release.
GW2 needs to launch now!
Pretty nice of you to share those additional codes you received.
I was sad when I knew I couldn’t go to Gamescom this year. Then I felt better when Anet decided not to program something major.
And I was sad again when they announced in-game items for those who could go there.
But it’s okay, because you are willing to share with us all \o/
I cant get to Gamescom and I would really love to get a code.
Not really sure what we’ll win but I want it anyways π
Thank you for the chance of the ingame items =)
GameGrinders.org supports this contest π
This is pretty cool. And this is a comment.
Sadly I can’t go to Cologne but I hope I’ll be able to get a code π
Thanks for doing this! Might you guys be able to get some more for the other Days as well (If the Items you get differ from Day to Day)?!? π
Thank you guys very much for doing this!
Happy to see that were getting some swag! After i saw the collectors edition stuff in action i don’t think i’m disappointed.
i appreciate the opportunity to win since going to gamescom wasn’t in the cards for me. π
I WANT! π
Guild wars 2! π
thanks guys for this giveaway ^__^
Good luck everyone :3
Great idea guys! Thanks! Sign me up!
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you.
I hope people who managed to attend gamescon this year are having a good time! Thanks MMORPG LIFE for doing this for us less fortunate π
Hooray for Guild Wars 2! I certainly love this game, and hope I can get the giveaway item! π
I would love to win!
Thanks guys!! Awesome contest.
It’s great to see they gave away some codes for those of us (most of us) who can’t go to the convention. Thanks for doing this!
Wow, this is just amazing!
Any idea what the items are?
Thanks for doing this. What is “life” in game item? I dont get it, lol.
this is a comment
jkhghjkhjgk
Its pretty awesome of you guys to do this!
Thanks for doing this !
I would really like to win those In-game items since i’m a big Guild Wars fan
Can’t wait for GW2 π
Good luck everyone! Can’t wait to see what the item is π
thanks!
WOO
Looking forward to GW2!
Thanks for this opportunity!
Thanks guys for doing this giveaway, Its pretty crazy to think that the items might be, “Exclusive” if you can only get them from attending gamescom all the way in germany. Seeing how Anet arn’t planning any other shows any time soon this site is the best way to get the item.
GimmeGimmeGimme!
Awesome! π
Thanks for doing this!
This is a great opportunity, cheers from Dominican Republic!
Hope everyone good luck π
Thank you very much for doing this! It’s a very kind thing to do. π
Thank you for this opportunity to get this otherwise unattainable item, for me at lease.
Great idea guys. At least four of those that couldn’t go to the Gamescon will be able to get the items. Thank you!
I’m so excited for GW2! All my other games are just sitting on the shelf :/
Thanks for doing this π
Thanks for doing this give away
Thanks for doing this give away. This item will be tradeable too I think.
Yay free stuff!
Good luck.
Woot
Please choose me!
PLEASE LET ME WIN
Thanks for getting the codes and offering them to those of us who could not be there. π
thanks for the entries!
Good luck everyone =)
Awesome π
thanks
Pretty awesome that you got these
Thanks for the opportunity to win even when we can’t make Germany.
Cool! I was jealous of the people who could make it to Gamescom. It’s nice to have a chance at winning one of the items.
Thanks so much for giving people the chance to win this item!
Noticed that no one actually commented. And if they did, I’m unable to view them. I hope I win, and I hope this contest goes well.
Great opportunity for those cannot be on gamescom thank you
Thanks for this giveaway!
awww yeahhh, thanks for doing this!
Thank you for this awesome opportunity π
Great giveaway even though you “only” got 4 codes to spread. (:
Awesome article! I bet the items will be some sort of town clothing.
test
Good luck all!
Thanks for the chance to get the item.
Thanks for this sweet giveaway guys! Really kind of you.
Wish I could be at Gamescon! But thanks for having this giveaway for those who aren’t there!
Really cool of you guys to do this.
Thanks for doing this. π
Thanks for the opportunity to get one of these!
Woohoo, giveaway! I love you all, but 1 of the 4 will be mine, even if I have to use your ribcages as a ladder to fetch it.
awsome game cant wait for launch! See you all there! <3
interesting
Great guys. It’s good initiative.
Thanks a lot for doing this for those of us that couldn’t be there in person! π
Sweet!
I’ll take one and a venti Frap no whip please.
Wow. Amazing for you to do this. I’m never able to get to these events so most of the times I have no chance of getting those cool items that just “some” people get. This is how I belive the Guild Wars 2 community will be, friendly and not selfish. After playing Guild Wars for 2,800 hours, 8 days and 16h feel like a lifetime!
Cya on Whiteside Ridge or Far Shiverpeaks!
Long live GW2!!!
This is awesome!
What are these mysterious “items”, anyway? ^_^
Don’t stand a chance, but worth a shot!
Hope I win! π
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win these items! There’s no way I’d have access to them otherwise π
http://i.imgur.com/k8nE1.png
do want the shirt π
Fingers crossed!
Nice one!
Thanks so much for this π
Oh my gosh exclusive item I need this.
Unfortunately I cannot attend GamesCon this year.. I’d still love to get one of those GW2 items though!
Hello! thank u so mutch for doing this, it gives us that dosent have a chance to get to gamescom to still get some of them sweet codes

Totally Pumped for the Launch! Just a few more days!!!
Good luck everyone.
Great giveaway guys π
I had been lurking on your site for quite some time now! I’m an avid collector, and all the guides that you guys post are legitimately top notch, so even for the BETA weekends, they’ve helped me out, genuinely, a lot.
Thanks even more for holding this contest and keep up all the great work!
Gah. Made me think if I should fly to Germany just for this, but then kinda came to my senses. Would’ve cost hundreds of euros.. π
Thanks for this Giveaway.
I live in chile, so there’s no way i can get a code by visiting ArenaNet at Gamescom =(
I hope i can win something =3
Hope you guys do more giveaways like this in future!
Thanks!
Thanks guys!
