Hey this probably was asked already but im to lazy to ready through 30+ pages of questions. I ordered a pre order package from gamestop, usually after 24 hours they ship out correct? They didnt so im guessing theres soemthing special with pre orders, any idea when ill be getting it? Will it be before or after the 28th of April?

Wortan · Mar 23, 2006, 03:01 PM // 15:01

I ordered from gamestop.com on the 14th, yet more problems with international orders for the collectors edition. I have to $60 extra if i want it in time for the preview not going to happen. $85 ok, $130 no go i'll wait the extra time as thats a lot of cash for a game.

Anyone order the international early version the $130 version?

BloodBuckle · Mar 23, 2006, 08:58 PM // 20:58

That doesnt really help me...

I preordered from Bestbuy a while ago, and have NOT recieved my preorder stuff. I feel scammed because I clicked on the Best Buy link on the Gw.com site and I expected to get preorder stuff by preordering...

Should I call them and cancel my order, and order from some place else?

It's like an extra 60 bucks to get it early. Im just getting the internation CE order with the preorder kit. I'd rather wait even though it means i cant get the 24 hour head start, its only a single day extra, it wont be a big deal.

They are going to ship you the pre-order box with the game on release day. So, if I were you, I would just cancel it and get it somewhere else because of the stocking issues that the pre-order boxes are having.

I don't know about any other Australians but I am pretty annoyed that we don't get the preorder pack. They better give us something to make up for it, either in the CE or the next GW expansion.

I was really looking forward to the preorder weapons.

I found the pre-order pack at EB Games in Parramatta (Sydney), but they only had 1 left at the time. Also, I had to ask specifically for it, it wasn't on the shelf (I even had to explain to the clerk what the pre-order pack is). I think a lot of retailers have it but some of the employee's are not aware of it.

i ordered my factions game more than 2 weeks ago.. I still cant get the pre order pack. The local E B Games here cant get them in. I have contacted everyone from the local store manager , the warehouses, and talked to managers there, all the way to arena net. No one can tell me why we cant get the pack. Store and warehouse say they have ordered them several times and cant ge them in, and a-net says its up to the warehouse and stores to order them. Personally i think its a crock, or just my luck. But so far i really like factions. Assasins rule!

So, if the game doesn't hit shelves until April 28, how do pre-order people get to play 24 hours in advance? Will they be able to play Factions for those 24 hours without having the full version?

Thank you

This may have already been asked before, so I apologize if it has...

Quote: I heard of a store that was actually selling the pre-order without applying the price to the cost of Guild Wars. If you know of such an instance, let us know, because that's not the way it's supposed to work.

I just bought the GW:F Preorder Edition from Target for .99 cents. It contains the key for the 24 hour head start and all the bonus material. What exactly does this mean? When/where do I need to pay the full price for Factions?

Russell.Crowe · Mar 28, 2006, 03:54 AM // 03:54

Since I bought the Pre-Order Edition from Best Buy, when the game comes out will that money I spent go towards the purchase of the game? I question this because they didn't ask for a name, address, phone number, or anything like they do when I generally pre-order a game.

Amok · Mar 28, 2006, 07:08 AM // 07:08

It is supposed to go towards the cost of the game. Eg if you paid $10 for the pre-order pack, you should get a $10 discount off Factions when you buy it (provided you get it from the same place). You should keep your receipt and give them a call, I'm pretty sure they are not allow to just sell you the pre-order pack.

I live in Brazil, and there is no GW selling here. Also, if we preordered online, it would take a week or two for the package to arrive, plus almost doubling the price.
I know there may be many people on the same situation, so why isnt PlayNC selling pre-order keys online?

We didnt want to be left out of the preorder just because ANet isnt interested in selling here

You can play 24 hours in advance using the preorder key. If you have a Prophecies retail account, you will already have most of Factions on your PC, this is what the large downloads have been.

I preordered today off of ebgames.com (collectors edtion). I have never preordered a game online before and had a few questions.

1) Will they send me the preorder stuff, or do I have to go pick it up?
2) Will they send me the actual game, or do I have to go and pick that up as well?
3) Why don't they just say how it works? (or am I wrong?)

Well, if that says anything about what ebgames is doing... that sucks. I went to ebgames earlier today to try and preorder, and they were all sold out of the preorder packages and collectors edition. Is all lost for me ?
