The lists for contents of the Factions pre-order packages are on the website

for the North American package

Ahh right. Heh, thanks for that. I just checked that site, but I must've been working too hard today or something.

The pre-order package was supposed to be available on Tuesday, Feb. 28.

I'm not sure there has been an "official" release date for Factions, although EB Games tells me it's 4/28/06. (Friday, April 28)

All right, I'll mention this here. DDO just recently came out and you could pre-order it as well and play before you received the box. The way they did this was to allow you to download the game client online (which we know you can do all ready from GuildWars.com) then they sent you a CD key number through email. When you received the box later on you got all the goodies. I imagine that Guild Wars is doing a similar thing. So it doesn't matter if you don't have the box or items in hand before the release date. They'll most likely send you the key and your friend's key that's included through email.

How does Anet know I reserved my pre-order?

Rok · Mar 02, 2006, 04:52 PM // 16:52

lmao, Walmart ^.^

They did not participate in the first pre-order, or any pre-orders for any other games for that matter that I know of, at least not the one here.

Use the list provided by the main site - EBgames, Best Buy, etc. If you dont have one of those local then order it online or something from one of them. Target participated in the pre-order for the first one, so you can try them too.

I stopped into the EB store here on the 28th - of course they did not have it out yet. I'm not too worried though. I'll wait and see, maybe check today, maybe tomorrow or next week.

Yes, and the release dates for the pre-order package, according to the GW site, are Feb 28th for North America, and March 3rd/March 31st for Europe

The full game may be released at the end of April, but the pre-order package is a bonus for those of us who pre-order, and for those who want the key to access the preview weekend on March 24th

Big_Iron · Mar 02, 2006, 06:49 PM // 18:49

I posted this on the other thread as well. I went to Best Buy again today. They still don't have it.

Rayea · Mar 02, 2006, 07:43 PM // 19:43

as far as i know, if they DO make a ce (and server gods, i hope so, i ordered it thru GAME already...)

it wount have the same items the pre-order pack had, but something else...maybe more of the glowwy hands, or a skill ect like the vannillaGW had.

Big_Iron · Mar 02, 2006, 07:48 PM // 19:48

On the official GW site under Faction FAQs they say there will be a CE and it'll be out at the same time as the standard edition. They don't say what it will be though.

jgortner · Mar 02, 2006, 08:03 PM // 20:03

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can preorder a softcopy? That is, I just get the factions key the moment it's released?

Isaac

EternalTempest · Mar 02, 2006, 08:06 PM // 20:06

North America or Europe.

North America gets a kit, Europe has a key only and kit version.

I would keep your eyes on this page for the key only:

I have yet to find real links .. but keeping an eye on this page may help.

Align · Mar 02, 2006, 08:39 PM // 20:39

I've already preordered the CE, so yes.

Sir Skullcrasher · Mar 02, 2006, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Refer to the thread with Gaile being onilne today. The preorder pack shipped on on the 28 of Feb and won't be in stores till next week (March 7 to 10 or so)

xxSilhouette · Mar 02, 2006, 09:03 PM // 21:03

The wal-mart here actually did have the first pre-order package, I went in tuesday and asked and the first two people had no idea, but someone else said that they had gotten the first pre-order pack for the original guild wars but they hadn't heard anything about factions pre-order pack.

So does anyone have the pre-order pack yet?

Starsky-sama · Mar 03, 2006, 02:50 AM // 02:50

I just wanted to mention something somewhat related.

Gamestop and Ebgames online advertised the full game's box using the preorder box graphics/look.

While @ Amazon.com/.ca (which I recently just noticed) finally had a box cover of the full game (I guess a small update to their site) which was totally different from others had advertised before. Again, Im not confirming it's gonna look like that, It does look like just a concept, but it does look nice. /IMO.

(check out the box if you havent seen it yet.)

(and o' I can't wait to see what the Collector's Ed. might look like.lol)
/g'day.

forever · Mar 03, 2006, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Yes, I saw the box art from Amazon.com this afternoon. Thought about starting a new thread about that, but didn't have time to post. It really looks nice and real. And I'm still waiting for the information of the CE, or I would've pre-ordered when the price on Amazon.com was still $39.99, now it's $49.99

The Great Al · Mar 03, 2006, 03:31 AM // 03:31

so will online retailers still send the preorder package to us early?
