Thanks

if you got the separate preorder box with the early key yes.

if you simply preordered you have only reserved a box on retail release no

This is not completely true, as for some places offer you the pre-order box along with the retail. They send you the pre-order box before the release date so you can attend the head start. A sure place to get this deal is at http://ebgames.com You might want to get the overnight shipment or you'll be waiting a few days after the head start is over, or pick it up at the game shop, which there is no shipping charge and they get their shipments overnight.

Ok, so here's what I did: Went to a EBGames store in Sweden, said that I wanted to pre-order GW:F. Thne he said, CE or normail edition and I said normal editions since im not in for CE and paying more money. Then I payed him three dollar as a "pre-cost" and I guess I will be fetching it on april 28th. Is that correct?

You will get your Retail key on or about the 28th. However, they should have also given you another package on the spot, and that would have your PreOrder key in it, and it does not matter if you got CE or Regular. I got the regular version as well, and I got the preorder package, which came with a CD, and a booklet with various codes in it, and one of those codes was for the preorder.

If you didn't get that package, go back to the store you preordered from and let them know.

Hmm there's one thing I noticed with all these.
People are confused between a "preorder BOX" and a "pre-order OF".

There's a preorder box, that's what you need to play head-start, the Cd-Key in the preorder box, not pre-order of the retail package.

Hmm ANet needs to change the 'preorder' to something else :/

VGJustice · Apr 22, 2006, 11:32 PM // 23:32

I dunno, Laibeus, when I did a preorder of Factions, I was imediatly handed a preorder box. Anyone who preorders Factions *should* get the box.

Veron · Apr 22, 2006, 11:48 PM // 23:48

Is the "Preorder Key" that gives you the head start the same you put in to get the preorder weapons?

VGJustice · Apr 22, 2006, 11:51 PM // 23:51

Veron, yes.
