There are two different versions! I personally think that the Pack with the dervish is better because it has music. I don't know why in Europe we get the Paragon one and we have only one track of music!

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 19, 2006, 05:45 PM // 17:45

ah; We in america got the Dervish with 8 music tracks. The different regions each tailor their promo goodies to what they think would sell better in their territory. This is also why the European Factions CE got a cloth picture and colectible platic serial key card; and all America got was a perferated piece of paper.

Mordakai · Sep 19, 2006, 06:02 PM // 18:02

Wait, so Europeans want less music? That makes no sense.

Did you guys get anything extra in the European pre-release?

ludogego · Sep 19, 2006, 06:03 PM // 18:03

This is kind of...unfair! You get more music but we get a plastic card! I really like the card and I won't give it back but I won't refuse some more music. I suppose you can say that for the card too!

And no, I don't think we get somethink like a bonus. Maybe we will get a bonus in the CE like with the cloth picture in the Factions' CE. Thouhg our concept art is better quality and the sceenshots too.

muahaha 8 tracks > plastic

everything's bigger in the US.. so more soundtracks for us

Maybe it has to do with license issues. I remember European license/copyright etc was a bit different than it is here. Or maybe, someone didn't finish his/her paperwork for european market in time...

Are these actually out already? I've got my pre order through Software Etc. and they still don't have the darned things here in Arizona......Are they slacking or is it Anet?

Bowman Artemis · Sep 21, 2006, 12:35 AM // 00:35

Yay ebay, Ima get both. :P I have a huge GW collection. *wanders off muttering about finding a prophecies CE*

EDIT: Just realised that I'm gonna be in the US in... Calendar please. *checks* 6 days, but it's really only 5 because I get 2 Tuesdays next week.

No need for ebay now!

rxtracid · Sep 21, 2006, 01:13 AM // 01:13

kanniet · Sep 21, 2006, 05:43 AM // 05:43

yes, I was disappointed to find out the European preorder kit didn't contain music. Is there any way we can retrieve this?

poozle · Sep 21, 2006, 08:16 AM // 08:16

Well I'm getting (well going to try) the pre-release pack today, according to the eu guildwars site it says we get music on the disc, and I can't believe it would just be one track, seems weird.

JC68 · Sep 21, 2006, 11:37 AM // 11:37

I believe that is against copywright and best to not ask on a public forum

argh... well i have to wait until my CE comes

so far, getting the Pre-order box is still related more to dumb luck, than coordinated effort. at least in the part of germany I live in. I could buy around 100 preview packs of the burning crusade, as well as at least 20 packs of another MMO preorder pack (I've already forgotten the name) though.

weird to ban the music. after all, the screenshots from the pack get copied all over the net and they are as much IP as a song. either both are plain advertisement or none is.

Samuel Dravis · Sep 21, 2006, 03:06 PM // 15:06

I've been wondering whether the character slots stack if you add more than one prerelease key to your account. That is, buy 2 prelease packs and add them, do you get two extra slots?

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 21, 2006, 03:07 PM // 15:07

No; in fact it won't even let you add a second key.

Samuel Dravis · Sep 21, 2006, 03:12 PM // 15:12

That's too bad; I guess I'm not getting any extra slots. Blast credit cards and their ubiquity. They need to sell slot cards in stores.
