As king of dumb mistakes, I knight you good sir.

ATM i dont think that there is anything you can do. At lest from what ive read.

Try using the "friend's pass" key on your retail account. It's a longshot though, pretty sure it wont work. I think you're screwed.

Send a support ticket to Anet, they should be able to help you, although they may be a nit busy for the next week or so.

IN addition the characters you make tonight or tomorrow (Pre release) are worthless for playing with later

The pre-release char's that start tonight are getting wiped on the 28th? I thought we got to keep these ones.

Not true. This is early access. We are getting in before retail players and we will keep our characters.

Official answer!

The levels, skills and items that a player acquires during the Early Access period will not be reset, and the character(s) will maintain ranking and inventory as the game officially opens.

Just sell your retail account to someone and use the money to buy a new box, with a new CD-Key, then apply that key to your preorder account.
Anternatively, you can probably pick up another preorder kit for anything from $1 to $10. Then just apply the new preorder code to your retail account.

Yes but if you register you preorder on ONE account and then register you Full release on ANOTHER account you cant transfer the characters from the preorder to the full release account.
Which is what the OP did. Which is also why I posted what I did.

I thought you meant in general, like everyone's chars would be wiped.

I would not worie about it, I mean it would be nice to have the item, but I dont think it is much of a big deal if you dont have it. I dont think it will be the most powerfull item in the game. Go around begging people they might fell bad for you.

Okay, this is what you need to do...
1. If you have the pre-order then what you need to do is uninstall the retail and re-install the beta. use the password and e-mail that was used for the beta.

2.Then when the 28th comes you should install the retail and after that you can change the e-mail and password.

You will know if this works the second you install the beta and the beta key with the original E-mail & password, it will say you are ready.
