Default Got My Pre-order Edition (Info please)

Hi this is my first post in these forums so i may seem to sound like a compleate noob whe i ask this but, For those who ordered the Pre-Order Edition of fation has anyone recived there copy like me ?
It says clearly on the Box full version of game not included but does that mean it is a download edition of the game or simply that i spent £30 on a poster and some music ?

Any help would be great thanks all

Van

Your full version of Guild Wars Factions will be sent home to you when it is released on the 28 of april. you only got the special items that came along with it. Just wait!

For us with the Pre-Order Collectors Edition will have to wait untill the 28 to get it all!

It's been the same with Prophecies: The CD doesn't actually contain the game. On the CD was just a very small installer file. The actual game will be downloaded streaming in small potions as you play.

The Guild Wars Factions Pre-Order Pack contains the following:

* A key that provides access to the Factions Preview Event on March 24th
* Access to Guild Wars Factions twenty-four hours before the official release date
* Exclusive in-game items—one unique item for each of the two new professions
* A "friend" key that gives one of your friends access to the Factions Preview Event on March 24th
* A 14-day, 10-hour trial of Guild Wars (original Prophecies campaign)
* A tactical guide
* A quick-reference card
* A CD that includes concept art, wallpapers, and in-game trailers

If you noticed, there's no RETAIL ACCESS KEY!

So does this mean our Faction RETAIL ACCESS KEY will be delivered to us on the 28th? You don't by any chance have to purchase the retail version of the game and spend another 50$, right?

If so, how do they deliver it? same way with your pre-order package?

Sorry if i have to ask this, i never got the pre-order package for the prophecies campaign, i purchased the full retail version of the game 1 month after it was released!

Yeah all will come in one whole Box, just look at Guildwars.com.

If you have bought the Pre-Order Collectors Edition you will allready have the Special item access key by mail a few months ago (depending on when you bought it) and avalible in GW when you make a new char.

But the Game Access key will come later as i saied and no extra cost ofcourse.

When you purchase the Pre-Order Pack for say $5, you will get a discount of that same $5 when you buy a retail version of Factions. I bought my Pre-Order Package for 10 Euro's, the Faction's Collector's Edition (with the retail key) which I will get on the 28th will cost 65 Euro's minus the 10 Euro's, making 55 Euro's.

Hmm.

I preordered the collectors eddition a few days ago from gamestop.(im in the US) It anounces the bonus with the 24 hour early acess and whatnot. But im not sure how this is going to work, should i be expecting to get a preorder box in the mail the next couple days, or will they just send it all togeather?

You will get the pre-order box in a few days and the Retail Game by whatever shipping method you chose, so this way you can play the head start.
