Well i just fired off an email, since my product status is "waiting for product"...

I'll admit I have no idea what's goin on.

on ebgames.com , if you buy the GW collectors edition, you get 3 months free of teamspeak, and a headset. I always thought that teamspeak was free? did this change, or are they talking about something different? thanks

I think I did 3 day shipping from EB when I pre-order back in November. Okay I have 48 hrs to input a retail key. If I do not, then I cannot continue to play until I do. The question is, if I do not have my retail key by that point, do I lose everything I have done when using the pre-order key to play? *

Curses a friend for confusing the hell out of him

NO

Gaile said characters would be kept for a reasonable time to let people get the game

weeks minimum possibly month or more

Noob187 · Apr 21, 2005, 08:12 PM // 20:12

where to start....

from what i have gathered, i understand how all of this is going down. now, i ordered 2 copys of GuildWars, a CE for myself

and a regular one for a buddy of mine, now when they sent the bonus packs, only 1 of the packs had a BWE code, of course... i used that one and gave my friend the 2 day pass code so he too could play at the last BWE. i preordered from ebgames and finally called them today to see what was up, come to find out, they only sent me 1 BWE code because only 1 per person, i told them it was for my friend and now their sending the package agian with the code.... little late i know! so if all goes well, my buddy will still have a code to put in so he can take part in the joy of preordering the game and get a head start like all of the others that have preorderd the game.

but, heres my question if anyone knows the answer, will my friend still get the preorder item to his account even though he didnt get his own BWE code?? i know the items arent ubber, but still be nice to get the item seeing how that was a determing factor in preordering the game from ebgames along with wanting to see the game at the last BWE. if anyone knows how arenanet is doing all this pls tell :P. like... how on earth are they knowing witch product is preorder and which isnt? is it based on the BWE code and then what retail code you type in?

sorry if im not making sence

Loviatar · Apr 21, 2005, 08:15 PM // 20:15

when he inputs the preorder key for the one day early(27th) start he has it

presumably the preorder key would be good after release for the item if not any BWE

snoleopard · Apr 21, 2005, 08:52 PM // 20:52

I've pre-ordered the game (collectors edition), but was in Nebraska visiting my son last weekend during the Event, so was unable to play because I forgot to take my key with me so I could use it on my sons computer. I'd like to know how I can now reserve the name of the main character I want to play. Any answers appreciated, and I'm really bummed that I wasn't able to join in on the event weekend.

βlitzkrieg · Apr 21, 2005, 09:24 PM // 21:24

Wait, bguys give me a defiante answer here.

From the 27th to the 29th, if our packages haven't arrived, we can use the BEW client to play GW?

But surely the game is much too big? Is this true?

27th through 28th, if you dont have your retail game by the end of the 28th you can no longer play.

In reference to the preorder items,

Don't worry, the items won't be overpowered, if anything they will be too weak and not much of an incentive to buy from certain retailers.

But they are better than nothing.

So you think the pre order items are going to be weak items and not even worth having?

homersadey · Apr 23, 2005, 04:27 AM // 04:27

The date today is april 22 2005, i have recieved my pre order box and got to the step where you enter the beta pass code, and when i try to enter this code i get an error saying "the access key you have entered has redundant rights". have tryed about 10 times now and hoping someone ehre knows what to do...

Servers are down until the 27th 12:01am pst. Try it again on the 27th.

Aerandus · Apr 23, 2005, 08:13 AM // 08:13

I'm having the same problem too. Will the key and preorder items be affected at all?

I have never played in any BWEs, and if I have to wait till the 27th, do I still get my preorder items?

Superdan · Apr 23, 2005, 02:53 PM // 14:53

No one answered the question about pre-ordering from Best Buy. I ordered the game with next day shipping on the 22nd. Am I supposed to get a key in the mail and wait on the CD's? On checking the order status it says to be shipped on the 28th...what's the point in preordering if I can't get it until several days after the stores get it??? In addition to that, I only had a friends pass so unless I get a key in the mail, I won't be able to play till I get the game in hand right?

Loviatar · Apr 23, 2005, 03:09 PM // 15:09

it simply the individual store policy
i ordered theCE with overnight shipping and was told that it would process on the 26 th
HOWEVER....i just got an email with a ups tracking number which shows it is as close as nevada as of 6 AM this morning and will arive on monday

XxSiLeNtxX · Apr 23, 2005, 03:16 PM // 15:16

I just got the pre-order box yesterday and i tried to enter in my code but all it said was "your account already has access to the rights this key provides"
I dotn know what to do..

Cyris · Apr 23, 2005, 04:21 PM // 16:21

I pre ordered and participated in the last bwe but now when i go back on it says i have to enter my key. but i have already done it. anyway i entered it and it said that this key was alreay associated with this account. Will i still be able to play early?
