Just Pre-ordered Guild Wars - Guild Wars Forums

ben_thuggin · Mar 06, 2005, 10:29 PM // 22:29

And since I've never pre-ordered a game before, I don't know what to do. I bought the game at Best Buy, and need some help knowing what to do when Guild Wars comes out. Do I just take in the receipt?

Thanks for helping out a n00b.

Thanks a bunch, that pretty much answers all my questions

Mabye the guru's should put up an FAQ because ive seen a number of posts about this and other things newcomers ask about. Not that i mind answering questions in the forum since thats what its here for.

That would be an excelent idea. The admins could/should jsut pretty much copy and paste the information from the Guild Wars main site into a new addition of this one and if the newbies cannot see it, when they ask, jsut send them to the FAQ page. Please dothis admins, it will save bandwitch.

yeah this sounds like a good idea, but i think you shouldnt copy and paste the one from guildwars.com, it should be a guru QandA. maybe an admin or someone like that could gather up all the noob questions and things like that from the forums and....noobs, lol

did you order from a local store or by net?

if by local store as soon as they heve it and as soon as you go in and pick it up

if by net as soon as they ship it to you

some places will email you the key in case shipping is slow

If they say you wont get the pre-order, I would recommend cancelling your order, get your money back and try out this site.

gosunahc · Mar 10, 2005, 09:34 PM // 21:34

yer thnx i already have so gamesmarket eh~ hmm well i remember reading somewhere im this forum some ppl said gamestop is good for preordering... so do i get beta access key with these as soon as i buy them?

Bgnome · Mar 10, 2005, 10:37 PM // 22:37

gamespot will email you a beta key if you ask. not sure if they will do that for the retail however.

interactcd.com seems to be very helpful in this situation as well. you can find more info here:

altho it says it ships on 30/04/2005 ... what does that mean?? i will get it at that time? so no participation in beta event aswell?~! i seriously dont get the PREORDER NOW and play in beta when it says the release date is in APRIL

Loviatar · Mar 11, 2005, 05:42 PM // 17:42

the preorder box and the retail box are 2 separate boxes

ask when you would get the preorder box and if it would not make it in time ask if they email beta keys

i assume the april 30 ship date is for the retail game box

ask them
