I am wonderring if/when it will be possible to buy a GW:F product key from the PlayNC site.
They offer online key purchase for all of their other games... including Guild Wars, so they will probably do it for Factions? I just hope that they add it to the site soon so I can buy the game without driving around looking for a place that has it.

Silvergun Superman · Apr 28, 2006, 05:58 AM // 05:58

Well, when Guild Wars was released. It wasn't until after a few days since the launch day was when PlayNC offered cd key online purchase. So you just got to wait

Stabber · Apr 28, 2006, 06:25 AM // 06:25

I am hoping PlayNC will have it in about 40 minutes or so, but, realistically, I don't expect it before next week or later. Their store page hasn't been updated in months, and I doubt they have it set up to magically update at midnight. I sent an email to them asking for the exact time they will have it, and all they said is "not until release". I then asked if that meant on April 28 or sometime in the future, and that email hasn't been answered yet.

Stabber · Apr 28, 2006, 06:42 AM // 06:42

They replied to my second email. Here it is:

Thank you for contacting us.

At this time we are not offering Guild Wars Factions serial codes through our PlayNC store or through the PURCHASE CODE link in your PlayNC master account. We would like to recommend to keep an eye on the PlayNC store for any updates or changes to this.

We're SOL.

*sigh* Guess I will have to drive to Wal-Mart in a few minutes and see if they got it. There's no other place open at night that might have it. Wal-Mart has Guild Wars so they should get Factions too... the only question that remains is whether they have received a shipment...

noocoo · Apr 28, 2006, 06:52 AM // 06:52

awww...

Its really make me disappointed
Why didnt they put access key online purchase more early?
Did they have trouble to do it?
I dont know where to buy it near my apart.....
Office depot???LOL

*sigh*

Sunai · Apr 28, 2006, 07:08 AM // 07:08

You can now buy a Factions key through plaync.com.

MasterDinadan · Apr 28, 2006, 07:29 AM // 07:29

Well... the announcement on www.guildwars.com SUGGESTS that you can buy a Factions product key online through PlayNC, but in fact, the link brings you to a site where you can buy a Prophecies product key... I looked around in PlayNC store and can't find anything.

It's a darn shame, cuz Wal-Mart didn't seem to have it. It wasn't on the shelf at any rate, and the employee there didn't have any clue

RealityDesign · Apr 28, 2006, 09:14 AM // 09:14

You can buy it on PlayNC...it's right there. I bought mine 2 hours ago...

hellmr · Apr 28, 2006, 11:14 AM // 11:14

where that ! i did search every singel link on plaync and cant find it ?!
i cant buy the game at store i am at egypt and the only way is to buy onlike key/download ver

. am burring to play it.

AxeMe · Apr 28, 2006, 11:25 AM // 11:25

I found the link on the www.guildwars.com site for buying online but - like the other person - could not find Factions listed. I'm guessing that, since the official site says you can buy it online and since it offers the link, it will be possible later today.

If I'm missing something (which is usually, grin) and Factions is available on that site now, I would appreciate someone posting here with a direct link.

Same goes for me... All I can find is some Pre-Order stuff...

I don't want the bloody pre-order.

I just want to get the game and go to Cantha...

EDIT: Found it, had to sign up for an account at the PlayNC site to buy it... Now I just gotta get the stuff filled out and start playing...

Frank Dudenstein · Apr 28, 2006, 11:58 AM // 11:58

EDIT - got mine this morning (8:00 AM EST) you have to register as a user on ncsoft website and then it works fine.

Tindalos · Apr 28, 2006, 12:09 PM // 12:09

The link on the guild wars site doesn't (yet) take you directly to where you can purchase a code. To get the code, you need to set up a PlayNC account, as mentioned above, then manage the account and about half way down the management screen is:

Online Serial Codes Purchase Code

From there I saw a selection to buy Guild Wars Factions.

Hope that helps.

Manda Panda · Apr 28, 2006, 12:30 PM // 12:30

It does. Thank you so much.

We're sorry, but due to high demand, serial code purchases are currently being limited. Please try again in 24 hours.

Dang.

AxeMe · Apr 28, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

I must have gotten mine just as they closed the service temporarily -- it did work (thanks to the explanations of how to do it from the folks here) for me.
