Do we need preorder to play on March 24th BWE for those of us that have chapter 1 already?Thanks

And it is is $64.44 CDN and I have to buy 2 of them.

Nope, just like the PvP, exsisting accounts are in automatically, you just need a free slot

Sorry Liete M/W

I just got pre-order disk from Best Buy. One guy did not know if the $10 price went towards the game when it game out. He got on a phone and called another guy. After some discussion the guy lookas at me and says "It should count towards the game." I say ""should" or "will"? Big difference there man." He looks at me and says "It will". Just goes to show that the staff at some stores have no clue what this pre-order is.

So now I have a question. Do I download the client off the disk? How does/will my Guild Wars account know I have the pre-order and how do I get my Pre-order items? Where do enter my pre order access key?

Log in to GW, click on Edit Account -> Manage Access Keys -> Next -> Next -> Enter your Pre-Order Kit key.

I'm wondering that myself - when I first got Guild Wars, it automatically placed me in the European districts, so I switched to American. I've pre-ordered GWF: CE, and apparently Australia is getting the European version. I hope it doesn't automatically place me back in the European districts or something again. :/

I just recently purchased the GW: Factions CE from gamestop.com...with their bonus offer which would be...the Pre-Order package. My question would be that...does anyone know when Gamestop plans on shipping the Pre-orders? Or does the Pre-order package..and...the CE ship together? Thanks.

That's what I was wondering. If it ships with the CE, it kind of negates the early 24 hour period you can play. It kind of sounds like it will ship with the box, but I honestly don't know.

I preordered from Play in Jan, and soon after they removed Factions from their lists. As they were showing no sign of changing this - although the order was still listed on my account - I emailed them and received this reply

Thank you for your email.

We are extremely sorry to inform you that Guild Wars 2: Factions (Campaign 2) (PC) has now become unavailable.

This means that the item has been removed from sale due to circumstances beyond our control and that we will be unable to fulfil any orders. It is unlikely that we will be able to offer the item again in the near future.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you and thank you for your patience and valued custom.

Nope, they don't charge until delivery, and I've now ordered with Gameplay

I ordered from Gamestop.com 4 days ago, no reply. Contacted by email and still no reply on my order. There is only 10 days until preview, what is going on. Are gamestop.com useless? or are they just ignoring us international orders. $86 is not something you let slip.

I'm in mid-central Missouri, USA and we still don't have the Pre Order available to us. Our local Hastings carried GW Pre but hasn't gotten in GWF Pre yet (and don't know if they will). Until I told them on the 28th to expect it, they didn't even know it was being released! (GWF wasn't even in their database as a confirmed release yet). Comp USA in the city is playing dumb and apparently doesn't have it. Amazon says they'll give/send you a copy if you buy the game which ships next month---as long as the supplies of the Pre box last, i.e. you may or may not get it.

This is craziness. Guess I'll have to go through Best Buy (*shudders*, don't like them) or some other online source since no 'locals' are enlightened enough. Even then, I'll have to order and then wait for the entire game just to get the Pre Order box--which is the only thing I want. I'd planned to just get the cd-key online for the game itself. Personally, I am highly upset at this oversight.

Mordakai · Mar 14, 2006, 02:57 PM // 14:57

Why do you dislike Best Buy? After waiting for weeks for it to show up at EB Games, I finally went to Best Buy (in San Antonio), where they had lots of copies still available. Sure, it cost $10 (compared to the $5 at EB Games), but at least I have my keys now.

tenorplayer · Mar 14, 2006, 04:53 PM // 16:53

When do I get the pre-order package if I preordered Factions online from GameStop.com? I don't know whether it will come with my CE when it gets shipped, or whether the pre-order ges shipped as soon as possible after my order. I e-mailed them and the answer I got back was no help whatsoever.

If anyone pre-ordered Prophecies from them or has pre-ordered Factions (and know how it works) please enlighten me.

capblueberry · Mar 14, 2006, 05:01 PM // 17:01

i had to call every other day 2 get mine from eb games then they complained about me calling so much when i got there

im starting to really dislike ebgames

If you are just looking for the preorder box, you can order it from Amazon for a dollar with free shipping.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...=UTF8&v=glance

You should get it within a few days.

Thanks a bunch! Now all I have to figure out is why the person that answered my e-mail is so useless...

Esprit · Mar 14, 2006, 05:23 PM // 17:23

I thought that Guild Wars was only sold through certain retailers, and not all retailers. Though you said your local store had Guild Wars, maybe that was a fluke or a mistake.
