I doubt the divine aura does anything at all. I think it makes your character glow. I highly doubt it increases stats like the pet that follows you when u purchase the Wow CE version. Not everyone can afford the CE version and Arena knows that and won't let ppl who own the CE version have an advantage over the standard version users.

they are delaying the time the servers are up so everyone has an equal chance that preordered, this prevents ppl from getting lucky and being level 20 before there are more than 10 ppl in the game

I called my local EB to ask if GuildWars was available to preorders, And they said it wouldn't be untill 27th. So, It only comes early to those who have preorder it online.

You are missing the point. Let me put it as bluntly as possible.

Anet planned it for the 28th.
EB deciced to let it go earlier than that.
Anet did not alter their plans at all.
Anet is following their own schedule.
EB is going their own schedule.

there was already a discussion thread about the divine aura. so im not asking about what the aura will be.

again. I am asking those ppl who received their CE version. was there anything included about it that was new or not mentioned in the forums.

When I log onto BB, it says it is "in process" 04/28/05-05/04/05 delivery dates. I guess it will be alright if the game arrives on the 28th. I can still play my Pre on the 27th, and I have to work Thursday and Friday anyway. Does EB games have a credit card? I have a BB card, and really that is the only reason I ordered from them, Oh Duh! The Targe! Almost forgot....
Ok last edit I swear! Here is the link to the box art and content at GW.

My order status from Gamestop now says "Usually Ships in 24 Hours" which I take to mean that they have it in stock and will soon send it. Their front page also states that it will ship 04/26. YES.

Gamestop sent me an e-mail with this.

Your order shipped on 4/25/2005.

Looks like it's on its way.

Anet must have known about EB, because they added the key asking thing back on again.

Tracking claims the package is thirty-six miles away, but it'll take until the 27th for it to arrive. I almost want to go there and pick it up myself.

I ordered mine from EB, and I got the confirmation message that it shipped. But, when I check UPS with my tracking number it says it hasnt shipped yet, just that they've received the electronic bill or something. That's not bad though, as its only the 25th. I just can't wait for the game!

Also: This is my first post on this forum,(which I think rocks by the way!) and I hope to make many more.

From my experience with UPS and USPS, on particularily busy days (IE game release days, belive it or not) their computers will backlog and you may not get the notifications for a few hours, or in one case even a day (I ordered a part for my jeep and got the notification it was BEING shipped the day it came. Same day that WoW had been shipping). USPS is particularily horrid about this, but UPS can do the same thing.

Yeah, I ordered half-life from USPS. I thought they were never going to ship my order, one day it came through the mail, 6 days later I got an email saying it was shipped.

Atleast USPS shipped the pre-order packet in 3 days, I should get the game tommorow.

Agree on the UPS thing. My order says shipped, but the tracking number doesn't work. So, it's coming, but not tomorrow. Sigh.

Well if you look at it from my point of view its BS...

Because i live in europe, therefor i cant order from the registered preorder compagnies... so i just preordered it at a reliable internet store here in Holland.

But that also means i wont get any special weapon at the start of the game, now i dont think its devastating, but its also a disadvantage for hte european players...

I ordered the CE and i'll see what i get, i havent gotten any preorder package but i believe taht was US only (god it sux to be european )...
