Load or not to Load? - Guild Wars Forums

I just got GW from an online pre-order and here's the deal.

I've played in the last few BWE and I have my Beta Invitation w/code.

Do I want to reload GE with the new game disks or just wait to try an log in on the 27th?

I have two days to think about it but what the hell, I figure someone else is sitting out there thinking the same darn thing.

There's quite a lot of information on those install disks that hasn't been available to people playing in the BWEs, specifically the art assets and other information relating to all of the as-of-yet unseen areas of the game.

I've played in the Beta Weekend Events and I've received a lot of files over that time. Do I pretty much have everything I need to play Guild Wars already on my computer?

No, not really. There are whole new regions you've never visited, so you will obtain those assets from the game CD. There are all those new missions and explorable areas and quests that you will acquire. And of course, there will be a modest update on the day you launch the retail version, which will revise any files we might have changed since the game went to duplication, and will also assure that you have the files that will entitle you to your spiffy in-game items and the newest account options.

I was wondering the same thing myself. It seems best to do a clean install off the CD's. If you have high speed internet, it wont really matter. I think ill ininstall and install the game off the CD's.

Go to this webpage. You do not have to reinstall the game if you played in the beta or loaded the game from the web. At least that's my understanding.

The early access is for Pre-Oreder Key only

Quote:

Early Access will begin at 12:01 am PDT on Wednesday, April 27th which is 8:01 am GMT.

This is for the Reatil. NOT A REINSTALL

Quote:

The servers will open for retail access keys at 12:01 am PDT (8:01 am GMT) on Thursday, April 28th. While you may have a copy before that time, that is the official "go" time, and that is when all retail keys will be activated in order for you.

If anyone should feel they need to do a clean install it is YOUR LOSE!
