Default Would someone please help me!

Ok, here's my problem; GW:F Pre-order isn't available in my area, and I was wondering if a mod could help me.

Here's what I need you to do; Get me a Factions Pre-order, and PM me the code, After, you recieve the cash in your paypal account.

Here's what I'll do; Send you the money, and give you a little extra, for your time.

I Just want pre-order, so, when you've got the cash in paypal, PM me the CD-key.

Whoever helps me, I'll have the money ready by next friday. (That's the latest.)

Are you saying you live in an area that doesn't have Best Buy, EB, Gamestop, or any of the other highly profitable gaming stores?

Yes, the nearest one is 60 Miles away! I'm not driving an hour to get factions, mostly, because nobody would take me...

I live in a college town...

...or internet connection?

The main site, www.guildwars.com even has a link to www.amazon.com to preorder.

I ordered my copy 3/1/2006 from EBX Online. Today, I received an e-mail from them stating that the product shipped. I should see the box either tomorrow or Monday.

hmm, I guess it was just me, 'cause, all those sites couldn't be found. Now they work.

Also, I've heard some really bad reports about ordering online. are these true?

Depends....I never would use a Debit Card for a bank account online. Too much I.D. theft with those. I never use one period...I will write a check around town and stuff. I use a credit card for online purchases....they are better protected if you get yer number stolen.

I really mean, I've heard that some of those didn't actually send a pre-order box.

And from what i read at amazon, it doesn't sound like they do...

If you pre-order this title, you are eligible to receive the Guild Wars Factions Pre-sale Disk gift package*. The pre-order gift package will be shipped to you, with no shipping charges, upon receiving your order, if you choose to have it shipped without the game. The game will be shipped when it is released. The pre-order gift package includes:

* 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
* 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
Apparently, they just do it oddly. Hopefully they still actually have some left, and tell you, instead of surprising you one day by saying, "Oh, yeah, and we're out, sorry." after it's too late to really get it anywhere else.

Edit: This is in no way intended to be a guarantee though.
