Heroic Edition Chest

Recently a friend of mine received a Heroic Chest through the mail, which contained the Mithril Box, 10 exp boosters and a choice of the Legacy armors, from Arena.net. He bought the game quite long ago, near the beginning of this year. However, I have read on the forums that past buyers do not get the bonuses of the Heroic Edition. Was that changed?

No, it wasn’t changed. Just a glitch.

Wait, please. You can’t know it’s a glitch. And that isn’t a solid answer, because if it is a glitch, and the forums are the first place in which we become aware of it, we’d naturally like to and need to know more.

Icy — we’re not going to take away your friend’s items. But I would like to know more about this situation, as a responsible reaction to a potential game bug. For research purposes only, could you please PM me the account display name or a character name on that account. Again, we would not take away the items or penalize someone who received the chest in error, but we would like to look into what may be a bug. (Could be he was sent the chest for some reason that’s unknown to me, but we can see that when we look into the account. No biggie, just doing “due diligence” here. )

Thanks for that info.
