You should get a little preorder kit with some special keys to enter. If you didn't get them go back to the store and demand your preorder stuff.

the keep a log of all the preorder recipts in a small box. you tell them your name and maybe even show some ID and they find your ticket and then you pay the remaining balance if it isnt paid in full yet, after that, you get your game and go back home!

Hehe. Log in with your beta account, it's still there, then just add your retail key to it and you'll be all set with the preorder stuff. The beta key was the preorder key.

Go to the one you pre-ordered from. If you pre-ordered online it will be shipped to you in the mail I believe.

Did you get a little card or an email with a key code on it that let you play in the beta weekends? That is the preorder code. If you have already played in the beta weekends (sounds like you said you did) then you already entered your code, just use the same account you used for beta.

Okay if you preordered online, they'll send an email with your code. Then ship your package TO YOU.

I got my email a week after I ordered. So depending on where you ordered it may take a while.

Zai · Apr 27, 2005, 12:04 AM // 00:04

No you use the same account from beta. The beta code was the preorder code. If you login with your beta account you will see that you have early access and whatever item.

SBird759 · Apr 27, 2005, 12:19 AM // 00:19

i cant use the beta key as the key for the game release it says it has already been registered since it has so it is impossible to use again

Yes it was already used by you. You don't need to enter it again. Log into your old beta account and use it, and you're all set. You wont get any other preorder stuff.

It means they declared it as final code and was ready for pressing copies of. Hence it is golden.
