Early Start question - Guild Wars Forums

mbecker · Apr 12, 2005, 01:05 AM // 01:05

Preorder gets to play in BWE, you type in your key from the preorder box and it creates the account. Did that. What I'm wonder is how the early start and release thing goes. The game hits shelves on the 28th, and the servers go up for Early Start (preorder people) the day before.

I log in on the 27th and play all happy-go-lucky. When it becomes the 28th I can no longer play and have to go buy the retail and type in that code. Is there anyway to upgrade my account to release before the 28th so I don't have to deal with the crowds at stores or stop playing?

If you pre-ordered it from something like Amazon they'll send ya the copy by post so you got it at the 28th....there shouldn't be any other way to "upgrade" the account without the real key, you're able to use the BWE-Key till the 29th tho..so you got time!

If the timming is like my preorder package. Then my Guild Wars box should show up at my freinds door right around the time the 29th beta key time ends.

You don't have to fight any crowds at all. The pre-order early-play is good until the 28th at Midnight (probably PT), so if you want to wait until the stores are almost closed, you could do that.

It'll do you good to get out of your house after two straight days of playing. anyway.

They are delivering the package at midnight...? (Unless you are in Europe or something.)

I physically went to the store and purchased the pre-order. I plan to do the same for release. I did not actually order the game. I will play this BWE and if I choose to buy the game then I will. I'm just sad that my Early Start will be interupted in the middle of the night, prime play time.

I am correct though that the game hits the shelves on the 28th right? At Fry's these things usually happen at noon.
