/cynicism off

The event was probably done due to the complaints of not having any extra character slots to make the new classes. Since this event involves fighting Naga, it will give people who have no extra slots something to do with their higher leveled Tyrian-born characters, and still (maybe) enjoy the 24-hour headstart.

Yes that's all you need. you don't need the retail version of the game you just need the pre-order key for the head start and extra slots. No it doesn't display anything on manage accounts other then factions items.

and your other post....read the Gaile Gray chat logs in the Game and Dev Tracker section.

ah ok but also if u get your game at ebgames.com where do u get your pre order key?

It's funny because I have antlers and santa hats for my characters... i hardly ever wear them and certainly don't when i'm on a mission of any importance. I'm sure I'll get suckered in because I just can't help myself but the fact of the matter is it's just another inventory space gone.. and there is few to begin with... especially if you're a pack rat like me.

And actually on manage account it does show something for some people which is also confusing. Like for me it show early access.. but other people had taken screenshots of their and it doesn't say that... so i know i'm good to go but worry about some others that apparently entered the preorder code.

That's why I'm glad for guild storage.

That way I won't put anything of value in and only customized to me and nobody will take it seconds after I put stuff in it.

That is unless those bastard guild mates take stuff out to permanetly destroy them! Oh, right, guild mates not bastards.. Still... *dum dum dum*

One of the Gaile chat logs, the slots will probably be added on the day you get access.

natuxatu · Apr 24, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

There will be guild storage? I've been reading up but completely missed that one...

Once again, read the Gaile chat logs.

TwilightOblivion · Apr 24, 2006, 03:02 AM // 03:02

hooray! I missed out on the santa hat/ antlers cuz my internet went out on new years X(

MMSDome · Apr 24, 2006, 03:20 AM // 03:20

this sucks out loud, have school all day. Why cant they give us off!!!!!

Vahn Roi · Apr 24, 2006, 03:49 AM // 03:49

I hear you. I'm probably going to end up forking out a rediculous amount of gold for the Naga Claws just so I can have the mask before the head start ends.

I pre ordered at the EB in Belconnen, where I was assured they would ring me about when ready, but they never did!
I went there today and the shop assistant was like ...... retarded, after many questions finally the manager came out and explained to me that the CE was delayed and I should be able to get it in two weeks. When I asked about the pre order keys he said they have none, but that my CE will cost me $10 less for the inconvenience. Pft like I care!

Tomorrow is a pubblic holiday here in Australia, but Wednesday I'll be going to EB in Civic and get a pre order for the standard game, hoping they still have some available!

Thx again.

Wwwwweeeeeeeee!!!!

TENGU MASKS xD

I suppose I will now be spending all day farming Naga Fangs!

WTS: Naga Fangs 500g each

They did say that you can exchange these fangs for "other unique items" I wonder what they are?

oh, and for those who didnt pre-order..

Haa Haa!

Im with ya on this... but im thinking if theyre hard to get 5k each should be reasonable

personally I could care less about getting another useless peice of junk to clog up storage with ( used up everything but candy canes and a CC bow.. all the halloween stuff was used quickly in missions .. that was actually more fun than gettin it " wth was that? a ghost?"

Might as well be.

I get home at 5. sometiems have to do other stuff, then only get to play from like 6-11 most days.

Its a far cry from the weeks long events of the past

But I'm sure i'll get tengu masks or w/e

see... 5 hours!... I think this we be MORE than enough, remember they now tell us that after 3 hours of gameplay we should "take a break"...

They wouldnt force is to play longer than 5 hours to get our masks?.. I suspect it would probably take only an hour, if that.

THATS the spirit!!

well, people said that I was sad to book a day off work for the pre-order.. now im sure I will be up for most of those 24 hours!... I am going to be collecting as many of these Fangs for my guildies so when they come back home from school or work they will already have fangs to get their masks (Im such a lovable leader)

But feel free to message me in game 'The Snowman' my guild isnt that big and Im sure I will have spare

mega_jamie · Apr 24, 2006, 11:59 AM // 11:59

The question is how easy are they to get, where is this monestary place? and more importantly when do the servers open on Thursday?

Ahhh so much working out to do now, why cant anything be simple, i too was looking forward to an easy headstart day, oh well, looks like i have to miss lectures....

the answers to most of those questions are on the guildwars.com

The monestary place is the market place, the starting position for level 20 characters.. thats if its the same as the FPE.

Im guessing the mission will simply be to go an kill this Naga boss and his minions somewhere near there in neutral territory, these naga will drop Fangs at a rate probably similar to the drop of charr carvings or anyother collectors item.

again these are just guesses and may not be correct.

Is it just me or do the link they provide say nothing about emailing the preorder keys?

The CompUSA link doesnt even take you straight to the Factions product and says it ships May 1st.

And the EBgames link doesn't work for me, says cookies are not enabled, but typing in www.ebgames.com works.

These are new keys, brand new today. So if they didn't have them, or couldn't give them, they can now.

I just followed a link and found stores offering other goodies, too!

Hope to see you at Day of the Tengu!

And I don't see anything about other goodies either unless she means the poster offer from CompUSA.
