I preordered CE, didn't get jack
So I preordered the CE in full at EBgames, all the guy gave me at the time was my change and the receipt. While I was on my way home, it came to me that I didn't receieve a preorder box or anything. So today, I come in the store and show a different Eb employee my receipt and asked if I was supposed to receieve an early access key and the rest of the stuff. Well, he said he had no clue and that they didn't even have the CE in. So what do I do? Since I didn't receive a preorder box I will have to wait till the 28th, right? And will I still receieve an Ithas Bow and Divine Aura? If I don't I will be so pissed.

without the preorder box key you will not get early acess or the item
edit unless you purchased the preorder box all you did was preorder the retail game big differance |

The official Guild Wars Knowledge Base says:
About the CE it says: When you input the Collector's Edition access key, each character on your account will receive the Divine Aura. If you also preordered Guild Wars and have activated the preorder access key, you will also receive the special in-game item on each of your characters. Additional details about the Divine Aura will be available close to the release of Guild Wars.From this, I would say that a CE does not give you Early Access. |

If you don???t have a pre-order key from the pre-order box, you will not get the bow, and if you don???t have the CE box with code, then you will not get the Aura. Sounds like you should take the game back... and get the CE... they will most likely get it in the next day or so... I know the EB near me only gets them tomorrow... and they already have the retail version. Sounds like you just have the retail version.

I picked up pre-orders at CompUSA, Target and EB Games. Ordered my CE from EB Games. I entered all three pre-orders codes today and it shows that I have the bow, censure and idol and can play starting tomorrow. I'm gonna try and get pre-orders from all the stores (after the release) and see if I can get all of the special items. They probably won't be any good in the long run, but it's become a challange!

No, I preordered the CE for sure, I put in 80 bucks and it said I did on the receipt. The guy said he didn't receive a CE in. So...what should I do to get the ingame item. The guy at Eb says they don't even have an preorder box. I have nothing physically except for the receipt. If I can't get this straightened out and I don't get an Ithas Bow or a Divine Aura, I'll be pissed.

people need to read these forums, and read them carefully, ive noticed alot of repeating and its rather sad. the guys here at this forum have been doing an awsome job of answering everyones questions and i feel sorry for them when it comes to repeating a answer when they coulda just read a few posts. on a side note, i just got my CE of GW today got it from ebgames, and the regular game i got for a buddy came in yesterday, was kinda cool geting a game that shows up at your front door 3 days before its released, i should preorder games more offten. |

Darn, that means I won't get the poster that comes with the preorder box either :/ . On the site it states this:
How much does the preorder package cost? When you place a deposit on a preorder for Guild Wars, you will receive a copy of the preorder package. That deposit will be applied to the retail cost of the game. Most retailers have a deposit requirement of between $5 and $10 in order to obtain the preorder package. Therefore, I believe even though I did not preorder the standard game, I should still have recieeved it since I payed in full as well. It does not specifiy if you only receive it with the standard edition or CE. |

So regardless of whether or not we got the pre-order box for the CE, we will still get the "Dive Aura"?
