Despite the title; this thread is more about the contents of the prerelease pack than a place for everyone to say "I got it too!!"

Bane of Worlds · Sep 16, 2006, 09:07 PM // 21:07

well I haven't picked up my copy yet but everyone is posting to get their post count up so ...

Alright, any ideas of where I can look for this Pre-release pack? I've checked Gamestop, Best Buy, Circuit City, Target and Wal-Mart to no avail. The only one that had an inkling of hope was Best Buy who said the release date was set in their system for the 24th (of September).

I thought this was released on the 15th? Surely someone, somewhere has it. I'm in North Carolina, BTW. I was able to get my hands on the PC Gamer, though, so I'm half-pleased.

That's called spam.

arcanemacabre: CompUSA? A guildie told me he found one there (in San Antonio), after I called them and they told me "no."

Jimmy Dean · Sep 18, 2006, 04:08 PM // 16:08

Try CompUSA - that's where I got mine and several others have reported the same. $4.99, refundable with game purchase.

Big_Iron · Sep 18, 2006, 04:13 PM // 16:13

I ordered from Amazon.com and it was 4.99. I just got an update that I should have it by tomorrow.

Does anyone know if you can apply more than one pre-order key to the same Guild Wars account?

I ordered CE Nightfall and the Bonus from Frys for 65.88 but I am thinking of also picking up the bonus now at Comp USA.

Got a link to that on Amazon? All I can find is this: http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-Nig...8&s=videogames

Which is ridiculous - $14.99 for the pre-sale? They must be joking...

I don't know if anyone has had this today, but my pre-order code didn't work. It claimed I already had the relevant "privileges" or something. If you get that problem, contact the company you bought it from immediately. Apparently this has happened with other games in the past. If they are informed, they can get new keys from ANet.

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 18, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

He probablly ordered it weeks ago. Amazon already sold out their stock so they no longer list it on the site. The ones on there now are from other sellers.

It does that to everyone and it's not a problem. When it say hit cancel, hit add instead and it'll be added. Gaile said they need to change the message that pops up; but if you hit add you'll be fine. There's nothing wrong with your key.

I did. The first day they had it on sale. I can't believe someone is selling it for $14.99 now. Lucky I got mine early. But it really doesn't matter since you can't use in of the in game stuff until Nightfall is released.

DawnFrostbringer · Sep 18, 2006, 05:33 PM // 17:33

I'm not finding any place that has them... Fry's is restaurant here; no one knows what Fry's electronics is within 500 miles of where I live. Online stores don;t seem to really have them either.. maybe they ran out.

So I need to know becuase it looks like there is no why I will get a preorder pack before the 22nd or even the 24th, how do I play the on preview weekend without the pre-key?

I'm also rather pissed off that I have to pay 30 dollars shipping to get the pre orders for my family... this after driving 80 miles to BestBuy which is the only hope around here..

I'm worn out.

Once again; you don't need the bonus pack to participate in the preview event. There is no reason for you to need it for the 22nd; as long as you have it by Oct 27 you'll be fine. In fact, you'll be fine even if you get it after that.

Swinging Fists · Sep 18, 2006, 06:49 PM // 18:49

I'm getting pretty frustrated. Why is ANet telling everybody the pre-release bonus pack is available September 15th if none of their retailers will give it to us. I don't care about getting it early, but I do care about making sure I get it. I personally do not want to pre-order now, and find out on October 26 or whenever, that the retailer that I pre-ordered from has no pre-release packs. That would piss me off and is the basis for my current frustration with what is going on. I want to make sure I get that character slot, but there doesn't seem to be any way for me to do that.

Horseman Of War · Sep 18, 2006, 07:49 PM // 19:49

id just like to point out, for the sake of anyone concerned on the pre-release kit- You need to add the key by december 31st- It wont be like the first two pre-order packages where you can still buy them and add them at any time.

edit->

yay got mine. you guys read some of the descriptions inside the booklet>? looks like stealing spells will actually be useful for any mesmer now...

signet of illusion- next spell cast uses your Illusion attribute instead of its typical attribute (woot!)

This is my major concern as well. In my area (MD), there were only a scant few factions preorder discs to be had, and the ones that were available were claimed as soon as they hit the shelves. I don't want to miss out this time.

Ok, thanks for that. Crisis averted.

I can't wait for the 22nd so I can see the rest of the additional skills available...

That's a "Used" one sold by someone through Amazon but it's not from Amazon directly.
