Well it's the 13th and still no post for keys anywhere...... Anyone know what happened? I've been checking back all day so far and still nothing. C'mon ANET don't tease us as bad as Square-Enix does.

I thought it was PST that they worked off of.
If that is the fact, then (right now as I type this), it is only 7:30am PST.
If they dont update till say, 9am PST, it will be 12pm EST when the update goes into effect on the site.

not sure if anyone noticed this but.. Anet are some clever people this will get more ppl to play pvp which in turn will covert the non pvp community as they wont want to miss out trying out the new professions

I have a question on this.If you have Gw,will you still be able to play it even after Chapter 2 is released?If yes,how will the HoH be affected?Since 2 different guilds in 2 different chapters might be able to control HoH.

You will be able to play chapter 1 content still.
For new players, who have not purchased GW chapter 1, but buy chapter 2, they will be able to play chapter 2 only. However, when they buy chapter 1, they can experience both parts of the game.

Good question about HOH. That is still yet to be seen. I have no idea how chapter 2 will affect HOH if at all.

Brknkybrd · Jan 13, 2006, 04:42 PM // 16:42

NO extra slots????

WHAT????

Damn it, I'm screwed. And about 500 thousand other players too.

EDIT: Maybe, maybe not...

Hailfall · Jan 13, 2006, 04:44 PM // 16:44

you simple make an new accoutn with that access key :P

That works just fine methinks

Homsar · Jan 13, 2006, 04:48 PM // 16:48

When you go into your account options, there is an option called "manage access keys" for those who preordered, it came with a key for the prerelease, and a key for normal access, all you do is add the key they give out today, real simple, easy, no extra downloading. I would reccommend possibly on next thursday or friday before the preview weekend afk with the client on or afk logged in, that way you can stream whatever content anet has for you, it worked for me during the weekend events, i left it on and was downloading randomly during the week. strange, but its true.

Be patient, even if you get the key right now, you can't login to chapter 2 now anyway, you still have to wait for another week, so don't cry.

It wouldn't do you any good, if the client needs to be updated and most likely that's the case. You have to log out and then log in again to update the client.

True, but what if half the world population is waiting for a key, and there are only a 1000. Then we're screwed right?

Symeon · Jan 13, 2006, 05:21 PM // 17:21

tick tock tick tock tick tock the clock is going tick tock tick tock....

*comes out of trance*

So, it's like, the 13th, where are the access keys...on the way? I'm gonna get in there and nab one straight away...oh wait, so is everyone else.

I believe I heard one of the ANet people say that keys wern't going to be "locked" so we could all use the same key if need be.

forever · Jan 13, 2006, 05:39 PM // 17:39

Yes, Geile has said the key is universal, I think that means they will give only ONE key to everyone in the world, so nobody is left behind.

There is actually going to be 1 key and it will be unlimited. Gaile has already said this and actually encouraged us to e-mail the key around to our friends. Just a recap:
- 1 key for everyone
- it will have unlimited uses

Edit: Bah should of read further down the thread

Miral · Jan 13, 2006, 06:02 PM // 18:02

the key is bigger than a breadbox.
the key is red.
the key has appeared in at least two places in Guild Wars core game.

Hailfall · Jan 13, 2006, 06:07 PM // 18:07

What are you talking about Miral?

I'm with Silent in that I'm not much of PvP'er myself, although I did do plenty of fighting in the Snowball Arena over the holidays. I may not be a really good PvP'er, but at least trying the Assassin and Ritualist out will be something to look forward to.
