Having a bit of a problem...
Okay, long story short, and I can elaborate if needed, I preordered Factions at a gamestop but never got the preorder package. I'd really like to be in the headstart event, as that's why I preordered in the first place, So I'm curious if there are other ways to obtain that key. I've been told if I just go down and get it at bestbuy instead I get a free shirt also, and then I could just not get the one I preordered at gamestop. However, someone else mentioned that they'll e-mail the key, which seems like the simplest solution as most of that stuff in the preodrer package is useless for me anyway (the prophesies demo, etc.)
So... I don't know if they'll e-mail that or not, or if I should just go down to best buy. Opinions?

Call 1-800-883-8895 (EBGames/Gamestop) and press two and explain your situation. I've been hearing that they will read you a key as well as e-mail. So yeah, try that.

I think pretty much all preorder packages have already been bought. If you're not sure whether or not Gamestop is gonna email you your key, call em up and rag em until they 100% confirm that you're gettin your key.

Well there’s your problem, I don’t know if you can delete that new account. You can only use the pre-order key one time on one account.

It's the CE (Collector's Edition) that many places won't have. You shouldn't have trouble buying the standard game.

Remind me to never order from EBGames.com again. I ordered 2 1/2 weeks ago, with overnight shipping, and have yet to receive the preorder box. It's said 'shipped' for a week and a half now. Doubt I'll be able to enjoy the head start, and god only knows when I'll get the game at this point.
I ordered Prophecies from Amazon, got it right away. Ungh, should've just stayed with them.

Someone did post some time back (sorry, don't have a link atm) that they did the same. They talked to support and got the new account deleted and were emailed a new preorder key.
Don't know if you can do that this close to release, but maybe worth a try.
Edit:Or, if you have a store nearby that still has preorders, you could just pick up a preorder box for the deposit and use that key.

Supposedly, everything is shipping off tomorrow and I should check back at the store for my copy.

I reserved a copy of the standard edition for $5, the girl who did it for me rubbed me the wrong way though, I hope nothing goes wrong when I go to pick up my game friday afternoon.

I guess I just waited for my preorder to come in the mail for too long. I just called their 1-800 number, and yeah, they're completely out of preorder keys. Now why would Anet only give them a limited number of keys that obviously != the number of preorders available? This is BS. It was advertised that if I preordered GW Factions, I'd get a 'bonus' that allowed me to play it 24 hours before release. Since they can't get it to me in time, that is false advertising.
I called around to nearby Target and Gamestop/EBGames, none of which have any more Preorder boxes. Seems like a shortage to me. Now my wife and I can't play until god knows when, and these days I got off work are completely wasted. Whatever.

Question about Pre Order Acess Key
Does the Pre Order acess key that you get with your GWF: Pre Order unlock both the items AND the 24 hour preview/head start? In other words, is there only ONE acess key for the items and ONE for the headstart event? Or are they both contained in the same acess key? Because as of right now; the account screen says I only activated the two items. I could not find another code just for the 24 hour event. Just asking. Thanks alot.
