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.

The code for the items is the code for the 24hour event. Should just say Factions Pre-order Key:

Yeah the name in your access key list is very misleading.

I payed $10 to get it preordered, and then I found out that they called me on the NORMAL RELEASE DATE AND I HAD TO COME IN TO GET IT - I MISS OUT ON DAY OF THE TENGU!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, wtf EB?

I got the exact same problem with Best Buy. I pre-ordered it and when no pre-prder key was mailed to me or e-mailed i called them and they are so clueless its sad, they didnt have any idea what i was talking about. all they could say was that complete packege will be shipped on the 27th, a lot of good that does me if the pre order key is in the friggin box, and they were pretty rude about it as well.

Question.

I got my preorder disc a few weeks before they added the new UI at the log in screen allowing you to add access keys to an existing account. I attempted to use the Factions Preorder key with my existing email address and it would not let me. Therefore, I had to add a second email address, separate from my Prophecies email account in order to play Factions. Now, I can not link my preorder key to my existing account because of the two conflicting email addresses. Am I out of luck here, or is there anyway I can merge the two accounts now?

Any help would be appreciated.

Dela, you are probably out of luck, unless you find another pre-order key. There is no way to merge accounts, AFAIK.

The Best Buy Ad says they will be in stores on Friday but if you go by and ask if they came in on Thursdays truck they will pull the software for you. Got my copy and shirt this afternoon.

YOU SUCK!!11 j/k

Did they have any CE's stashed away by any chance?

gsampl4 · Apr 27, 2006, 06:20 PM // 18:20

Nope only the standard version, sorry.

Lord Oranos · Apr 27, 2006, 08:05 PM // 20:05

Ok, Im really pissed right now, I just got back from eb, having ordered it on the 13th, and I went back to get the pre order package, which was today(earliest time I could do it) they told me the head start was only for people who pre-ordered the ce... Was I misinformed?

I gotta say, this is kinda ridiculous.

My sis ordered her and myself a copy of GW:F CE as soon as it was possible to pre-order them. We've been talking about this for weeks. And because of Anet and NCSoft underestimating the demand, those of us who already spent $100+ pre-ordering the CE are being screwed. And I don't even mean because I don't have the pretty box and all that hooey, but because they have no idea what they're doing, or know exactly when the CEs will be released, so we're basically playing Factions on borrowed time. Ten days to be exact, which I think is absolutely wrong.

On GW's website, it said they're manufacturing more CEs, and they have an estimated shipping date of JUNE 30th. Sis said that ours should ship on May 4th. Who do we believe? Why doesn't anyone have the same information at the same time so we're not all guessing? Why doesn't GW make an announcement on their website about those that have already pre-ordered, and those who now want the CE, and the availability of the game for each of those aforementioned groups?

This is all giving me a serious migraine.

Just got my order of Factions Full Version from EBGames. I did overnight shipping and I got my order of Factions and my strategy guide. I know there were alot of people that ordered from EBGames so I wanted to give them hope.

Sphinx2k · Apr 27, 2006, 09:26 PM // 21:26

i just walked into the ebgames on my way home to see if they had the pre-orders and the guy let me just buy the full edition instead

Drow Lor · Apr 27, 2006, 09:31 PM // 21:31

Edited Msg....

Why did this post twice...I have the same entry on page 48????

Spinosaursus · Apr 27, 2006, 09:31 PM // 21:31

Hmm. That's very lucky of you Lalita. I know a friend of mine who Pre-Ordered the Standard Edition since the start of April, and still no news...

I guess it depends on where you live? If there is high demand, it would run out fast. If there is low or no demand, they tend to ship it to the few customers they have.

What i want to know is why they aren't just sending the activation keycards to us who pre-ordered CE, and are being told we'll have to wait.
Instead of making us wait for them to put together enough CE boxes, why haven't they said they'll send customers buying CE the plastic card, and the rest of the CE set will come when it's all ready.

Lalita · Apr 27, 2006, 09:53 PM // 21:53

Totally going out on a limb here...but maybe it was because I paid for the overnight service?

Also on their tracking website it shows that they mailed out the complimentary pre-order, but not the standard edition yet. Odd, because I got the standard edition but no pre-order.

kaheiyeh · Apr 27, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

Well the EBGames site took Factions off preorder and now you can have it within 24 hours.

=DNC=Trucker · Apr 27, 2006, 10:17 PM // 22:17

I picked one up in the store as well. But.... its not pre-order so the key doesn't appear to work until tomorrow. Is anyone else have this issue who have the non pre-order retail box?
