I can understand that you want to start playing it from the moment its released, but complaining like this is just imo pathetic.

Pre-Release for Factions CE
Estimated shipping date: 5/4/2006

Some are estimating shipping even later for the CE, even as late as 5/10/2006

And let us not forget that when something ships, it doesnt get directly placed into your hand, there is going to be another 3-4 days in some cases before you even get it, and that's if it doesn't ship on a friday, or saturday, thus throwing sunday in the loop.

Basically, I figured it out, if a character is created on the 27th.. and is going to be deleted 10 days from then, there is no way, with the first estimated shipping date, that the character will be saved. Meaning, Not only will I be left behind while the rest of the guild/players move on during the 10+ days, but I will have to start all over again.

Lovely, and all because someone couldn't line stickers up on a sheet, or fell asleep at the press.

Myself, and others, have every given right to complain. We paid 70 dollars + for this pos.. believe me, if you hadn't gotten your SE on time, you would be bitching too.

props to that quote. Im tired of all the blame on ANET for everything! This is NCSOFTS fault, and i dont get why they delaywed it, that hasnt seemed to be part of the conversation on it at all, just everyone wanting to know whats going on as do i. I am just curious why they have to delay only the collectors edition, quite odd.

yeah i went through different sites such as ebgames, gamestop and others. None has collector edition even listed on their list.

I guess, i'll get the standard one and wait till the collector is released.

Anet does make the game then hands it off to the publisher NCSoft.

after that it is out of Anets hands or control

Raise's Hand

1st they send me an email saying it was shipped on Sunday.. (EBGames) Yeah right!
2 days later, it's delayed, best guess is May 4th...

I bought the pre-order kit via BB and already have it on my account so I can play for the day advance but.... not sure when I can add the retail CE key to my account.

In the meant time will be firing up Morrowind with a bunch of user mods to pass the time.. or catch up on watching anime that I'm behind on

the only thing i have gotten from 2 different people was a CE manufacturing error (unspecified) which will delay shipment an unspecified amount of time.

Anet didnt do it

the stores didnt do it

blame NCSoft for it

I think that making the Collector's Edition a rare drop is contrary to the spirit of Guild Wars. In keeping with tradition I should just have to present Five Factions Receipts to the clerk to receive a copy.

Default Official Arenanet response to delay

If you are not able to register your Collector's Edition Access Key to your account prior to the end of the Head Start, you will not be able to continue accessing the Factions game content. However, the characters you created in those two extra character slots will remain for a 10-day grace period (though will be unplayable).

If you are able to register your Collector's Edition key to your account prior to the end of this grace period, you will be able to retain those two characters.

If you are not able to register your Collector's Edition key until after that grace period expires, the two character slots will no longer show on your account. Once you register your Collector's Edition key, the character slots will return, but will be blank.

Please keep in mind that you are able to "stack" a Collector's Edition Access Key on an account that already has a Standard Edition Access Key registered. You can, of course, register a Standard Edition key to your account in order to ensure continued access to the Factions game content and the extra character slots while you are waiting on the arrival of your Collector's Edition game box.

We sincerely apologize for any frustration or inconvenience this issue may have caused, and hope for the speedy receipt of your Collector's Edition game box.

This is Crap!

Based on what I heard from my local Best Buy, it seems like they will do a return of the preorder sale, then sell the real game at full price. Do you think Best Buy store will treat the preorder like this, or just the customer service at my local store misunderstood the preorder process? Thank you!
why cause confusion and just pay full price get your shirt and wait for CE, go in then present the 10 buck preorder slip and exchange it. I bet it saves you and the store time.

OMG wow... Ok my response to that E-mail would have to be in a jerk manner:
"Oh, you mean the CE that I just cancelled?" GAH... Come on Anet, we deserve better than this, at least something to cheer us up, like we will be getting 99999 plat on our return if we enter a CE key... Anything...
