no you dont. I just pre-ordered GW:EN @ dynabyte and ive chosen for the option that i will pay it when they have the game in store.They will give me a call , i will go there and pay.

Maybe Anet gave more detailed information to there retailers, instead of Holiday 2007... which is a bit vague.

Well, it's probably incorrect, but that 8/27 launch date would be sweet; it's my birthday. Plus, it means we get GWEN that much sooner. Again, it's premature, but it's still nice to think about.

Mordakai · Apr 05, 2007, 01:59 PM // 13:59

The last article posted (the German one) said Summer 2007, so 8/27 could be correct.

I'm still expecting an October release myself (a year after Nightfall).

I'll be wating for the CE as well (maybe it will come with special items for Guild Wars 2?)

^Actually Gaile said the "summer comment" was a miscommunication. When they were talking about summer, they meant it would be playable at PAX '07.

September 3 is Labor Day in the U.S. That's a holiday even I get off.

gene terrodon · Apr 05, 2007, 04:25 PM // 16:25

Well, if you look at the offer, it says, and I quote "Pre-Release
Ships 8/27/07."

That does not sound like the game to me.
Maybe a weapon set, a minipet and/or an extra character slot.
It does not mention the full version as being available on 08/27/2007.

Sir Skullcrasher · Apr 05, 2007, 05:36 PM // 17:36

Would there be a CE for GW:EN?

Nekretaal · Apr 05, 2007, 05:46 PM // 17:46

i'm not sure I'm going to buy it. As an expansion, not a campaign its guaranteted to be more of the same, and I'm not sure I want more of the same.

Besides some things about guild wars really annoy me.

(1) Spam in trade
(2) Death of 6v6 -- I liked 6v6
(3) Lack of regualar skill balances
(4) Overreaching "hard nerf" style of Izzy who is about to send my primary character (with over half my total hours logged into GW) into storage.
(5) Direction GW seems headed with every expansion and update since Tomb of Primeval Kings: zerg like mobs with unbalanced monster skills and environmental effects that dont increase difficulty but do force the community to discriminate against entire professions.

Onarik Amrak · Apr 05, 2007, 05:58 PM // 17:58

This isn't a discussion on things that annoy you in game. It's about when it will be available and companies fudging release dates.

gamona: Last question: Will you be at Games Convention with EotN and Guild Wars 2 this year?

Arena.net: We're just finalizing the details - but if EotN will hit shelves in summer, there would be no reason for not showing it at GC.

The quote doesn't really mean anything, but ... for what it's worth, they're not saying it will be definitely Christmas holiday, or even Halloween. August/September is still the second half of 2007. So anything's possible.

Omega X · Apr 05, 2007, 06:29 PM // 18:29

I'll take the preorder dates with a huge cup of salt, because they are hardly ever right.

Chop it Off · Apr 05, 2007, 07:23 PM // 19:23

39.99?

/sigh

add two classes and charge me the exta 10$.

On the bright side, for $40 they'll probably offer some sweet incentives (read: bonus items for Guild Wars 2), to buy it.

beanerman_99 · Apr 05, 2007, 07:59 PM // 19:59

I will most likely just buy it directly from Anet's online store like I did Nightfall. Its fast, easy, and I don't have to run around to different stores to see who has it instock

Former Ruling · Apr 05, 2007, 08:14 PM // 20:14

Eb/Gamestop tends to 1) Overprice things, 2) Get preorders horribly wrong :\

I vowed never to to do business with them again.

EternalTempest · Apr 05, 2007, 08:19 PM // 20:19

If it's a code + cd only.. I may got the route that beanerman_99 and buy it via online store actually.

The only thing that would draw me away from the online store would be
Directsong pack as part of the physical package
Some sort of in-game item/effect, etc.
Find a story that sells it much cheaper then online store (Fry's / Outpost tends to do this with special on pre-release games).
A CE Version... I own all the other CE versions
