Hokay! I am going to preorder GW 2nite through the web. When i order it are they going to send me some sort of email with a key or something in it? I know there will be keys in the actual game box. But are the keys different in a way that i will get the preorder item? Im confused and dont know ehere to find the awnser!

the key in the preorder box will let you in a day early (the 27th) and you will have to input the full retail key at the end of the 28 th to continue to play

do they send me a preorder box?
and the item... Is it a special key? From the retail normal full game box.

they will send it if they have it in stock

the item is tied to the preorder code which is different than the retail code from the retail box

figure in shipping time and you might or might not get it in time for the early play on the 27th

The keys are indexed to the retailer so install the client and use the preorder key, then later add the game key. There'll be a place for this and your retail key

I have some new information about Preorder Items: As it turns out, a player account can have more than one preorder item on his or her account. Here is how it will work: You will have an Account Information Page for your Guild Wars account. On that page, you'll be able to do a lot of things, including inputting the retail key when you put up your copy of the game on April 28th. In addition, you could upgrade from the standard edition to the Collector's Edition, if you find that you can't live without the game soundtrack, the headphones, the Art of Guild Wars book and the Divine Aura. But most interestingly, you can also input an additional preorder key or keys, if you should so desire.

Now, I'm not saying "Go forth and buy one of every preorder on the planet," but I have been asked about the preorder items several times -- some folks have just had a lot of trouble deciding which preorder to get -- and this now is your definitive answer. Incidentally, the Account Info Page will be useful in the future, as we add the newer chapters of Guild Wars, and possibly as we have other opportunities where keys will be useful.

Hope this is good news to those of you who wondered about the subject!
