wait, what? ok i read and reread the above few posts... but am still confused..........

i am now unable to play canthan toons, like you, and was under the impression from anets site that i could until may 8th, am i as the say.. up the river till EB gets my copy? Can I re-enter my key and get acess again till may 8th? Will the Question i sent to Anet about this actualy get answered in a manner that makes any sense?

:edit: just read the post before mine. must have missed it..... now that my friend makes no sense, you can create.. but not play... what purpose does that serve exactly? after you create an RP toon doewsn't it automaticaly take you into game? but thats not the point, the point is... thats skitchy... come on anet, it's not our fault there aren't enough games to go around and our stores are giving us the run around... this this just isnt right.......

Well, thanks for the extension, ANet.

I should say that, instead of simply focusing on the negative.

But in a situation where pre-ordering a product is possible(and playing), one would think a company would make certain supply far exceeds demand.

One would hope that a situation like the one we are in right now can be avoided in future releases.

You cannot create or play.

I have a Rit that is still in the monestary and as of this morning, I cannot access her. It gives me a message that my account is not authorized to play factions.

As for my old Tyria characters, I had my mesmer in House Zu Heltzer as of last night and when I started this morning it ported me to Ascalon and I have no option to travel to Cantha from the boat.

As I stand, unless I get my CE soon, then I'm just stuck in Tyria which is not very nice since I really need to play in Cantha but I do not want to get the regular edition.

I was in EB yesterday (Canada) and they told me that they might get it today or tomorrow but I wont believe it until I have the box in my hands.

Anet should have an option that if you can show a prof of purchase then they issue a key for you to be able to play.

They said that aditional CEs would ship June 30th then that key should stay active untill early July.

I'm hooked on GW and will play it does not matter what but this situation might turn off other players and they would stop playing.

My 2 cents.

I'm still waiting for mine aswell, a guildie of mine's (who ordered from the same place) order status claims that they're currently packaging it so it can be sent. Mine is still "under handling", and I ordered mine before he ordered his... Since it's not 7:13 pm in Sweden, I doubt I'll recieve mine tomorrow while all my guildies will. >=(

But I guess I'm venting aswell. Either way, stop blaming ANet. It wasn't their fault, neither was it the stores' fault. It has been stated that it was due to an error at the distributor (NCSoft). Blame them.

Just as an extra note, you shouldn't have to worry about your chars until 8th May; Headstart was 27th april, release day was 28th, so your 10 days of 'safety' aren't over yet, its just the grace playing period thats up
