I think buying two wouldn't benifit you at all. This is a prerelease key, so if you input a prerelease key it will turn a switch on in your account that says you get the bonuses from the prerelease. If you enter in a second prerelease key it will just check to make sure the bonuses are turned on. It's like a door, either it's open or closed; once it's open it can't be opened further.

NO

this is pre release and will give you access to any special pre release events but does not affect the release date which will be late oct/early nov

Kaineng City was just really crappily constructed. Also full of monsters and designed by someone with a twisted sense of humor...

preorder boxes are free when you preorder... and after reading this: id have to agree about the "total" of 3 character slots if you get the Pre- and then GWN... at least i hope

this is a nice tip of the hat to anyone who is stressed about $10 a hit. Personally, I have 7/7 which means +3 will let me finally have one primary of each class :P

Im guessing that the pre-order items will also be max dmg just like the GWF (as opposed to the original preorder items... which are -almost- max lol), so you can bet that I will no doubt be using that spear on my Para... and the scythe looks too good to pass up (eh you can change its prefix anyways-)

Im going to wait to preorder until the CE becomes available- which will hopefully be orderable on Sept 15 as well.

I hope i get a new login screen soon... :P

Sorry for the Double Post- But I have a useful answer after reviewing more of the post!!

And btw, you guys notice this part:

......Mini strategy guide, concept art, screenshots, in-game renders of characters and items, preview trailer, wallpapers, lore, quick reference card, music, and more!

Dunno about you guys, but Im pretty excited about the music and (more?) part....

Peace.

why complaint that character slots are $10 per?
in a way you already paid $10 per already when you bought GWF and added it's key to GWP
expansions usually cost $30
All GW games cost $50 if the store follows the MSRP
if this is your 1st GW game account you paid for a full game but if you add it to an existing game , you bought it @ an expansion price +2 character slots priced at $10 per
just be glad that you aren't forced to buy additional GW games.

Thanks

I think the reasoning for this being a "pre-release" package is so that certain stores can do this package but every store can allow pre-orders (remember the Factions pre-order and that some retailers weren't doing the preorder items/access)...

Be nice for ANet to say who is selling the bonus package so people can pick the right retailers

Jimyd · Aug 01, 2006, 08:02 PM // 20:02

Anyone know which retailers will be sellign this package on the west coast in the U.S. ?

And can we buy this through the guildwars store?

Horseman Of War · Aug 01, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

i dont think you want to just get it from the store, even if they do offer it...

youd get the items, slots, and music... but youd miss out on the rest of the package...

ANet does a good job with promotions- and im sure having a physical copy of the preorder will be well worth a trip to the store

(support your local businesses if possible!)

Jetdoc · Aug 01, 2006, 08:19 PM // 20:19

If you're thinking about buying one additional character slot, then you'd be foolish, IMO, to purchase one now, given that this bonus pack will give you an additional one for the same cost, PLUS you get all of the perks that come along with it.

Y.T. · Aug 01, 2006, 08:25 PM // 20:25

OOOOOOOOOO i'm soooooo getting this

MadOnion · Aug 01, 2006, 08:44 PM // 20:44

I hope Amazon.com does the same $1 no shipping deal as with the Factions pre-order :-)

sigried · Aug 01, 2006, 09:07 PM // 21:07

the good thing is that the realse date is the september 15th that means that the preorde should start soon. i guess

h4mx0r · Aug 01, 2006, 09:15 PM // 21:15

I'm going to preorder anyways! When the CE is announced and I deem it's contents worthy, I'll ask my preorder to be shifted onto the CE.

shakes head in wonder.

NO NO NO

the release date is NOT....NOT....NOT Sept 15 ........GOT THAT SO FAR?

the PREORDER should be available Sept 15 and has nothing to do with the release date at all

DevilStick · Aug 01, 2006, 09:27 PM // 21:27

Mmmmm... preorder goodness. Bonus character slot even!
