If you've been holding back from purchasing Guild Wars' first (and probably only) expansion pack, then you might want to reconsider. Guild Wars: Eye of the North not only is available on Steam for the first time, but is being offered for 33% off one week only, bringing the price down to $13.39 until October 15th. This is a better deal than the discount that NCsoft is offering on its own store, where GW:EotN is on sale for $19.99.
While not a full-fledged campaign, Eye of the North does offer a huge assortment of goodies, including new regions, tons of dungeons, dozens of new skills, additional heroes, and rare armor sets.
For players eagerly awaiting Guild Wars 2, it's definitely worth a trip back through the lands of Tyria, especially now that we're learning more about how the Hall of Monuments from Eye of the North will "pay forward" rewards and titles into Guild Wars 2.

Damn! Perfect timing for me! I was planning on getting the game through the Online store for NCSoft because no one seems to be carrying it, but now this? Steam... you're alright...

Damn, I bought it for $20 off the NCSoft store 2 days ago, cause I didnt see it on Steam. Then they go an release it on Steam and shave off 7$ bucks. I mean im not bent over the 7 bucks, but I do like official steam releases so its all integrated in one place. Bah.

Eh, I hate box copies, and I rather have the game instantly available, since I was playing it right away. I just like steam managing all my keys, everything is quick access, and so on. I have the GW Trilogy from Steam (bought it for $20 instead of paying $20 for just Nightfall on my main account that I had for a long time, same price, but now I have all my expansion keys saved in my steam for future customer support use or anything else. Blah. Oh well, I have trilogy on Steam soo its integrated anyway.

I already have all GW, but would love to also have the convenience on running it on steam, do I need to re buy all GW to do so?

I just went on Steam as I saw this offer this morning and decided to jump on it... except now on Steam it quotes the price as 33% off of the $29.99, making it $20.09. It says the sale will still last until the 15th, but its certainly not at $13.39.

I have to say that despite having initial doubts, I tried to buy a Perfect World CD Key from OffGamers recently and they came up trumps. Not only do they have easy and safe online payment procedures but their customer support were excellent and I received my order in just a few minutes. Definitely highly recommended =)
