I went with Game as they e-mailed the beta key and will send the pre-order boxout too. I didn't bother with the CE of either Propechies or Factions as the extras in the box don't seem worth the extra money and I don't use emotes or dances at all.

I got a question for thouse who have ordered from gameplay.com.

It saids, it will be a free dilvery in second class, would this mean I will still be able to get in the next day from your experience? Or is it worth getting the first class dilvery for the extra £1?

I ask because from my experience from ordering from Amazon, there was no difference in speed.

If you pre-order and get it delivered second class, you'll probably not be guaranteed to get it the day before official release day. Second class may take a few days more. Bear in mind they won't be sending anything out until close to the official release date anyway.

Anyone know if sendit are doing the pre-order thing?
http://sendit.com/game/item/6000000002443
The picture says pre-order edition but they say nothing about it so I dunno.
Even if it they don't the £12 off and free delivery is worth it

Best place to get any games in teh UK is www.play.com that is where i will be getting my copy from. I got Guild Wars for £18 before it was released last time you just have to get lucky as they mess with there prices for pre orders all the time.

That's what I thought, but they are no longer going to be stocking Factions, see a previous post of mine here http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...&postcount=588

Ditto to waiting on a response from GAME, but if I don't hear anything soon i'm ordering from gameplay

Dear Sir / Madam

Thanks for your email. I am afraid we are not taking part in the beta test or Pre-order packets

I hate when companys use Dear Sir / Madam when then know my name cos i have posted a order, A damn template looks unprofessional

JMFD · Mar 21, 2006, 05:19 PM // 17:19

Game has collectors ed out now, all the benefits of the key and preorder box.. delivered!

schutz · Mar 21, 2006, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Pre ordered on game online got my pre order key the same day, plus the special pre order comes with cd's and other stuff aswell, i didnt want collectors because theres alot of un-needed crap that i would never use

BellyFlop · Mar 21, 2006, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Duh i never noticed this on Guild Wars Website.

http://www.guildwars.com/aboutgw/whe...preordereu.php

THE EUROPEAN BOXED PRE-ORDER PACK
The European boxed Pre-Order Pack will be available in stores on March 31st and will include:
Access to Guild Wars Factions twenty-four hours before the official release date
Exclusive in-game items—one unique item for each of the two new professions
A tactical guide and quick-reference card PDF in five different languages
A CD that includes concept art, wallpapers, in-game movies, and Factions music
A Guild Wars Factions poster

I think i wait a bit longer and see if anyone else gets this Pre-order pack, cos i really dont like GAME.

Is not like I need a CD key to play the weekend Preview anyway.

Anyone else smell a bit of NCsoft price fixing going on here? Play aren't stocking factions at all, despite being one of the biggest on-line games retailers, and Simply, who are heavily discounting the CE box have been removed from the pre-order event.

Snowman · Mar 22, 2006, 03:15 PM // 15:15

Yea I went with simply games as well,

When I originally bought Guildwars I followed a link from to simply games from guildwars.com but I dont see it this time!.. hmm, odd.

Anyway I still had 300+ points from when I used them so I got £1 off!.. which I used to pay for the priority delivery server xD

Im not botherd when I get the pack, so long as I can play on the day

BlueNovember · Mar 23, 2006, 03:15 PM // 15:15

I pre-ordered mine from Play (www.play.com) in about... November 05. XD Still confused over a lot of things though.

Quote:

Here's the current full confirmed list of UK online retailers taking part in the online preorder.

UK Pre-Orders

Gamestation: www.gamestation.co.uk
Virgin Online: www.virginmegastores.co.uk
GAME.NET: www.game.net
Gameplay: www.gameplay.com
Play.com: www.play.com
Gameseek: www.gameseek.co.uk
Simply Games: www.simplygames.com
HMV: http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/home.do

Pre-order is not the same as the Pre-order package, right?

My understanding:
With the pre-order package you get some fancy A/Rit weapons as well as the stuff from the non-package Pre-order. (Posters and merchandise ignored)

Do both packages come into play on April 28th? Which one (if not both) can be used on April 27th?
Is it possible (using a Factions CDKey emailed to you after purchasing Pre-order package) to have more than 4 character slots before April 27th?

All the fancy /addkey commands only apply to the Pre-order package, correct?

TIA for any clarity anyone can provide. So much conflicting info in so many threads! Aaaa

art_ · Mar 23, 2006, 04:26 PM // 16:26

Ugh, I was going to get it from play.com

Any updates on this?

Cirian · Mar 23, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

I'm still planning on the CE boxed set from play.com - once March the 31st comes, I'll start looking!

Tachyon · Mar 23, 2006, 05:20 PM // 17:20

I've had mine pre-ordered from play.com since Jan 16th. It isn't the pre-order box, just the game when it's released, but for £18 I'm not bothered about getting to play 24 hours earlier with a couple of special weapons.

BellyFlop · Mar 23, 2006, 07:58 PM // 19:58

I am a bit confused i dont see any Record of Guild Wars faction on Play.com.

Plus there was this post by SylverDragon.

UK, ordered from GamePlay and received the preorder keys, if the thread is still up I'll let you know if they send the preorder box as well, though they don't mention it on their site.

However, Play.com will not be providing the preorder, as they will not be selling Factions. This is the email I received form them

Quote:
We are extremely sorry to inform you that Guild Wars 2: Factions (Campaign 2) (PC) has now become unavailable.

This means that the item has been removed from sale due to circumstances beyond our control and that we will be unable to fulfil any orders. It is unlikely that we will be able to offer the item again in the near future.

Taken from my Play.com "out standing orders". Perhaps they pulled it?
But yeah, the massive discount is worth losing out on the 2 weapons I think.
