What happens when pre-order duration ends? - Guild Wars Forums

I have gotton really far on my warrior in Cantha, and I was wondering... when the preorder-play duration time ends, will we still be able to access our players once we install the regular factions- will be be in the same spots?

Thanks.

Will we still be able to access our players?

This is what the 10 day grace period is about. If you install the key for Factions within that time - yes, otherwise - no, unless they change something because of the CE problem.

Be in the same spots ?

If you have a Prophecies account, you will be returned somewhere like the Battle Isles or Guild Hall, or somewhere similar, if you play your character before installing the Factions key.

Your progress made this weekend will be preserved as long as you install the Factions key within the grace period, currently 10 days.

So that would mean I have to have the "real" factions key in by Saturday May 6th, because preorder started on April 27th, correct?

The grace period mentioned in an earlier news post will end at 11:59 p.m. PDT on May 8. During the 10-day grace period, if you have a Prophecies account and have added a Factions pre-order key, you can create a 5th or 6th character. After the 10-day grace period, if you have not added a Factions (retail) key to your account, you will not be able to create a 5th or 6th character. We will not delete your new characters, items, or skill unlocks after the 10-day grace period. However, you will need to add a Factions (retail) key to your account in order to play with any Canthan characters after the end of the Extended Head Start Event.
