Hello, i just pre-ordered my guild wars at about 2:00 pm est today. Will i get my CD code via email tonight to i can paly the weekend event? Or did i jsut pre order it for no reason? Im confused. I ordered from the link to best buy at the guild wars official website.

I did not get the CD key imediatly so i called best buy and the person i talked ot didnt even know that they were sellnig guild wars.... Im worried i wont be able to participate in weekend beta, what should i do?

also is there a number to call a guild wars tech for help?

If you find either out, please let me know too. I'm worried myself.

Hamster of Doom · Apr 15, 2005, 01:22 AM // 01:22

If anyone is able to get their preorder email on Thursday or Friday, please let us all know.

Could anyone tell me how to go about verification of code used? A friend of mine is unsure of which access code they used to establish their account. Not sure if they entered the You're Invited or the Beta Event code. Was looking to give away a free code if I can somehow verify the established account code.

Please help...so I can help another....

Sausaletus Rex · Apr 15, 2005, 02:30 AM // 02:30

The one on the "You're Invited" is the single use friends pass. The "Beta Event" is the beta pass. It's the later you want to keep as that one will let you play a day early when the game's released.

Xedu · Apr 15, 2005, 02:56 AM // 02:56

Rex I'm looking at them both now and the Invited says the sneak preview before actual final release and in game weapon and such. The Beta says invite a friend to join you .. access code for a friend etc.

But I am wanting to verify which was used by someone (hubby) since they can't remember which code they typed in last November. Is there an option somewhere that will show which code was used? I don't want to give out the Beta Friend code if that is the one they originally typed in to establish their account. (i.e. if you open excel and go to help and go to about excel is show you the product registration code...that is the kind of thing I'm looking for)

Sorry if I'm not to clear on this. I know what I'm trying to say but maybe nobody else does...

spiritofcat · Apr 15, 2005, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Has your husband played in more than one beta event? If so then he put in the correct code and you can give your friend both codes and they can try them both and only the friends pass one will work.

Xedu · Apr 15, 2005, 03:22 AM // 03:22

No, he is too stubborn!!!! (gggrrrr) But I think I've conned him into playing a bit this weekend.

So from what you have said if he can still login in once this event starts and his character is still active then he has used the Invited code and I should be able to let go of the Beta Friend code?

Thank you ever so much for your help....

If i install 2 pre-orders will i get the chance to save 8 characters and pick wich account i want ?

nevermind, just gave 2 passes away, but i guess someone could still answer the question

Davion · Apr 15, 2005, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Yup... I have that option now as is. I don't really care about both accounts..only that the one I wanted is the one i use.

Riley341 · Apr 15, 2005, 05:53 AM // 05:53

Has anyone else been unable to create an account? After I hit the Create Account button, I click continue after choosing a country and then get an error message (Err=5) stating it is unable to connect to the server due to an network or server error. Then tells me to go to www.guildwars.com/support which has no help for this problem.

I am behind a router but not sure if this is whats causing it. Any help? Got a beta key burining a hole in my pocket!!

DsFire · Apr 15, 2005, 06:14 AM // 06:14

have no idea where to preorder and get a access code...please help. Ordered thru amazon first but never received a code so i cancelled......any ideas?

Xenia · Apr 15, 2005, 07:17 AM // 07:17

14 minutes after midnight and still invalid...rather disheartening to say the least.

I ordered the preorder from EB games last week, for anyone whos wondering. Well guess its to bed I go for a few hours. What a depressing night

Oren · Apr 15, 2005, 08:50 AM // 08:50

I have a key I got from preordering Guild Wars from Importmadness.com. How can I know which item will I get as a gift upon launch? I know that there are several different items (for EBGames, GameStop etc.) but I don't know which one is associated with Importmadness.com and neither do they know for sure.

Thank you,

Oren

KitKat · Apr 15, 2005, 07:35 PM // 19:35

okay it's now 8:30pm gmt+0 and I still don't have my beta keys even though I ordered from gameplay.co.uk two weeks ago, which really I was suppose to recieve yesterday, so is anyone here kind enough to get me a friends pass please? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

bobthebus · Apr 15, 2005, 10:43 PM // 22:43

I preordered off futureshop.ca on the 12th, its the 15th now and it was only susposed to take a day. I now am pre-order keyless. Can anyone Give me a friend pass please. I will be forever grateful

Hamster of Doom · Apr 16, 2005, 01:45 AM // 01:45

*nods* forever grateful.

LateComer · Apr 16, 2005, 05:47 PM // 17:47

Can someone share their one weekend access key for this April 15 BWE, before it ends. Send me a PM, thanx.

Aimless · Apr 17, 2005, 12:53 AM // 00:53

As with the above.

I found out about this game yesterday, and would like to try it out, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to pre-order anywhere and get the key before the end of the event.

Would anyone not using their friend pass be willing to share it?
