ArenaNet had shut off their digital sales of Guild Wars 2 a few days after last month's launch, explaining that the demand was simply too high, and existing players' needs needed to be attended to first. Since then, they've gotten the servers sorted out, the trading post online, and (from my experience, at least) significantly reduced the frequency of getting kicked to overflow. So, with the early rush mellowed out, ArenaNet announced that they've re-opened their own digital sales.
