Preordering a game means that you have a guaranteed copy of that game when it is released, specifically, on Oct. 27th. For preordering you get an extra character slot and usually some other bonus like weapons for your characters. Last time round we got to start playing a day before release as well. Hope that helps.

The preorder box comes out on the 15th of September. It's not the game, but it contains a preorder key to get you your bonus items for preordering. You will still have to go back on the 27th of October to pick up Nightfall when it comes out.

Accounts can't and will not be allowed to merge. Now, if you mean adding cd keys to your current account, adding Nightfall to your account will give you 2 more slots.

guys I preordered before I had a chance to even read the press release: anyone have an idea what the Mini-Character thing is? Like a Miniature Gwen Doll?

Wouldnt it be cool if Gwen was one of your customizable henchmen if you get collector?

My money is on a 'special Henchy' for the in-game CE treat... makes perfect sense, no?

I doubt it will be Gwen, but yeah, like a miniature character from the game, most likely Nightfall specific.

I assume you mean an older Gwen... ok, the more I think about this, this is actually possible. It's being done by the same people who did Prophecy, so they would be the ones to include Gwen. It could tie up some loose ends (hmmm, maybe my Tapestry Shards will come in handy!)

Gwen as a cutomizable henchmen makes perfect sense for Prophecy characters, since you're the one who befriended her, and she would likely remember you. How old is Gwen now anyway? How long has passed since our heroes left pre-searing? (and don't say 2 years, it's been longer than that...)

If you're referring to the old age question of merging a new campaign or keeping it seperate; adding any new campaign to your account will always give you two slots. Using it to make a new account will always give you four slots. In this case; if you get the Nightfall prerelease bonus pack; you will get three slots instead of just two.

Speculation from me says:

With the customizable "heroes" means pitting one players "heroes" against anothers' "heroes".
In other words, sorta like a coach mode in a Madden game... sorta.

Well I was cautious with Factions. I didn't like the write-up, so I waited until the game came out and people posted online about it. I still didn't like the feedback, so I never bothered buying it. Again, I will wait for online feedback on Nightfall before buying. Never believe marketing hype!

Oh man ... that's so close to Halloweeen!!!!
I'm going to spend that week drunk off my ass playing Nightfall and shmoozing with a fat bag of candy.
I love my godly metabolism!
One day, one day it will fail. But not October 27th. Or any time after that.
Just one day.
