To prevent this in the future Anet should offer us an upgrade offer for those who buy the standard addition.

Pay another $20 on their site to upgrade and email us the key.

Back in the real world people are at the game store going "Guild Wars" releases today? Never heard of it. Who is this "Arena Net" person? My Level 60 Gnome Mage could so pwn Guild Wars anyday.

Internet doesn't have tax. At least for me it doesn't.

It does have physical items. Shipping is no big deal as long as I get the key in a timely manner its worth the extra $$.

you are lucky, we NJer got tax even for internet (yay...)

They should make a different kind of factions's collectors edition...like for the phrophesies campaign, they should have a version with the aura and special music, but nothing else. Then we would be able to get keys online, and NOT wait for shipping...(...who needs a logitech headset and artwork you can get for a dollar?)

Shanaeri Rynale · Apr 27, 2006, 06:08 AM // 06:08

A simple way of compensating those who have to buy a standard edition to tide them over for pre orders is to gift them 4 extra slots to anyone who's account shows a SE+CE key

EndoftheSyringe · Apr 27, 2006, 06:19 AM // 06:19

I think above all the worst thing that is happening here is NOT that NCsoft is such a shitty company, but that they are dragging ArenaNet down with them! Anet is going to have a very bad reputation with people who don't do their research because they naturally assume it's the developer's (since it's the "big" name connected with the game) fault.

As for it not being worth the trouble, I don't really care. I have other games to hold me over, and if I don't end up getting CE when it was delayed to (you know, the whole week-delay deal), well, June 30th is my Birthday!

Mindtrust · Apr 27, 2006, 06:35 AM // 06:35

many haven't recived their normal copy pre-order either, i'm one of them

elLOCOmutha · Apr 27, 2006, 06:55 AM // 06:55

These people making excuses for NCSoft make me sick....

We paid ahead of time pre ordered CE edition and were told we would be playing it ahead of time and have all the goodies also. We have a right to be mad about this PR nightmare ... you probably never buy the CE edition so what are you even caring for? Seriously, telling people they dont have a right to be mad about something a retail company was selling and now delayed until god knows when and on top of it says to buy the regular edition then buy the CE edition when it comes out ...is just plain nutz.

I seriously think you people saying not to be mad are just rubbing it in our faces ... so step off and let us vent.

NCSoft needs to make this right or they have just delivered a major deathblow to Guild Wars PC game ... I plunked my hard earned cash down months ago for this CE edition and was promised I would have it in my hands on the 28th april I and everyone else that got screwed have a right to be mad and bitch about it.

Yeah sure humans make mistakes, but in a big business like Guild Wars has become they just shot themselves in the foot ...

I can understand that you want to start playing it from the moment its released, but complaining like this is just imo pathetic.

.. is it really that hard to spell certain words out?

That having been said, it's more the principle of the issue: that we've invested more money into the game we love--and, because of that, we've accidentally been penalized for it.

No, three days isn't that much.

However, when those three days involve a new game that -everyone else- is playing but you, and you could be playing it too if it weren't for some stupid technicality..

Then, yes, it's a big pain in the ass.

Ashleigh McMahon · Apr 27, 2006, 07:29 AM // 07:29

3 days? 30th of June? Isn't it the 27th of April? That's over a month we may have to wait.

I don't know if i've been effected (gameseek.co.uk).
I haven't recieved an email, but i've mailed there support enquiring.

Pevil Lihatuh · Apr 27, 2006, 07:46 AM // 07:46

I'm kinda ticked as well. I work in a game store. We got normal in yesterday. No CE yet. I've not been playing on GW for a month and was looking forward to coming back for the factions release. If I gotta wait til end of June I gotta find something else to do... *sigh*

My sentiments exactly.

Actually however many days or weeks, it is all relative. 3 days to someone might not be the same as 3 days to another. Just like some people are ignorant to claim that $10 is not a lot of money; it's not a lot of money to themself, but may be a chunk of change to another. These "arguments" fail.

good news for uk players, i just recieved an email from game.co.uk (same as game.net) saying my factions CE has been dispatched and will be with me for the morning of release

Ashleigh McMahon · Apr 27, 2006, 10:10 AM // 10:10

I ordered from www.gameseek.co.uk

I can't check my email just now, but I think mine will have been dispathched.

On the order status is still says pre-order.

I'll let ya know.

Mr.Deflok · Apr 27, 2006, 11:06 AM // 11:06

I was quite annoyed too but seeing as how there's not a thing I can do about it I don't want to get to caught up on it.

So I changed my pre-order over to a standard edition, BUT, I still want the CE for the extras.

What I want to know is if I install Factions Standard will I be able to install the CE later and still be able to use my account that I create with the standard copy with a CE CD-Key?

Yes, I plan on buying both copies, there's no way I'm going to play catch up with my guild a week (or however long it's gonna be).
