I just bought the game, installed it, and ran it. I go to the part where you choose beterrn PvP and role playing, i chose the rolplay option, and a pop up window stating it was connecting came up...it still hasnt connected, and its been like 10 minutes...i have DSL...whats wrong?

I saw some other people with the same problem, i first thought it may have been because of a firewall, but they disabled it, i guess the server may be down, i don't have the game myself so i don't know for sure.

I have the same problem. I suspect I have it because I don't have preordered version but storebought one.
Or am I wrong?

I "preordered" to find out I dont have the "Preordered" version I got the collectors from game stop and no Axe or whatever. Im very pissed. I would have ordered the preorder version which is what I thought I had if I knew I wouldnt be able to log untill 3AM EST. Why they have it set 12AM PST anyway.

As i understand it, if you would have bought the pre-order version you would already have your pre-order key from the last BWE. This said it doesn't matter which retail version you bought since you just have to add both keys (the pre-order one and the retail one) to your account to be able to play starting from 12AM PST on the 27 until you dont want to play anymore in a few years :P
The things that i think happened is that you 'Reserved' a copy which you pick up from the store when they got the shipment. This isn't a pre-order, this is a reservation and therefore the key given with your copy is a retail key which will unlock the game from 12AM PST on the 28.
hope it helps.

If you "pre-ordered" the game you should have been given or received a "pre-order" package that included a disk, a Beta key and a One weekend pass Key for a "friend". If you did not get that then one of two things happened, 1 you got ripped or 2 you didn't "pre-order" you "reserved" a copy for yourself.
