BWE = Beta Weekend Events

You would pre-order the game and get access to special beta events once a month. Or you could get keys to it. But the last beta is already over, and now comes release. I suggest reading up on the game here and other fansites (even official site) and figuring if you want to play it or not (if you haven't already). Maybe you can find a friend who also wants to play it and you two can test it out.

Hmm from what I heard collectors edition is roughly $80, pre-order is somewhere around $60, and the game itself on the release is round $50. Don't know for sure, haven't looked at prices since I pre-ordered.

Ossain · Apr 19, 2005, 10:24 PM // 22:24

Going to be $49.99 for the regular version and most places have the Collector's Edition (CE) for $79.99, though for some odd reason some places are selling it for $89.99. No Monthly Fee, and an estimated ~$50 addition for the game every 6 months.

i paid 49.99 at gamestop regular preorder

collectors edition 70+low to 80+high

edit

the reason for the 89.99 is greed because people will buy it without shopping around and finding the other for 10 dollars less

This is a good reason why you should do comparison-shopping before buying anything.
