You can always cancel after you've used that access key and just buy a CE from the store. If I hear anything I'll let you know

Thanks for the info, I'm not so worried about missing out on the access key for the march 24th event because I already have access to that through owning GW. I just dont want to miss out on any of the cool extra stuff, or getting Factions 24hours earlier

What I'd LIKE to see is characters displaying an overall glow (much like a boss monster) but a lot more subdued, perhaps a shimmering effect or your dye job glows slightly, etc.

THAT would be a must have, for those of us that are vain.

Only reason I bought first CE, was the inclusion of the Art Book and OST. Couldn't care less about the stupid shiny hands

I like the presumed contents of this CE though

But still, main reason for me to buy it will be the art book

Everyone is complaining about EB games not getting the preorders in when Best Buy and such have them.

After inquiring EB Games (my local one) they said they were told it'd be an Online Exclusive for their store (as in the actual stores would not have them).

I Emailed EB Game's main office for product support and they said "Thank you for contacting EBgames.com. We do not have any information on
a bonus for this item. Please keep checking the web site as we will
update it if we receive any new information."

Mister_Smiley · Mar 07, 2006, 10:08 PM // 22:08

Well i hope thats true. Mabey thats why it taken so long for them to get the pre-order package, their working on the item? Still no luck, going to call tommarow to see if they get it in.

Markaedw · Mar 07, 2006, 10:10 PM // 22:10

well it looks like I may have to cancel my order

TheMosesPHD · Mar 07, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

If I buy collectors edition I want to be able to use the /yulecap command so all my new chars can tote around the hat too :P Oh and can you buy a CE pre-order now even though they haven't told us what's in it? I'm in America but I was thinking that some of the ppl who were saying they pre-ordered the collectors were in Europe or somethin.

Sample Attack · Mar 07, 2006, 10:24 PM // 22:24

I have the GW collector Edition , that will like to link collector Edition with the Pre oder Faction, How Do I do that ? I see the Regular Pre-order Faction , Who / how to buy/get the Collector Edition?

Hodor · Mar 07, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

In Australia, EB have exclusive sales rights to Guild Wars. Where I live, in a major city, the nearest EB is 500km away. I had to buy GW from Ebay, my chances of getting a pre-order of Factions are zero.

EB would be probably the worst possible choice to distribute a game in Australia.

I talked to my local EB guy he said they were converting to gamestops computer system and SKU's etc... he said unless he is mistaken they should carry everything gamestop carries. He also said only actual products will come out this week. Pre orders will be held off at the wharehouse until they get the conversion complete. He told me to check back Thursday or friday. I got the preorder (regular edition) from Best buy, but was gonna get the collectors from EB since I could go downstairs at work.

Mister_Smiley · Mar 07, 2006, 10:42 PM // 22:42

hmmm well if they don't get it this week, i most likey will just cancel it and go to best buy, like everyone else.

Mister_Smiley · Mar 07, 2006, 10:44 PM // 22:44

their is no way at this time to per-orde the collectors edition of factions, but when the offical game comes out, you can pick up the CE then. It might be up next week or so, since they are going to offical announce what will be in it.

Sample Attack · Mar 07, 2006, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Anybody know how do I buy CE for Factions ?? Link ? I see pre-order Factions , But I didn't find CE , Thanx

Mister_Smiley · Mar 07, 2006, 10:45 PM // 22:45

ya i got the CE for the artwork and all that other stuff, i didn't even know about the hands thingy till someone told me in the game about what the CE came with.

Vilaptca · Mar 07, 2006, 10:52 PM // 22:52

Um, I talked to my EB guy, and he actually knew what I was talking about and said it would be 2-3 weeks...

So I'm just going to Best Buy...like everyone else...

Mister_Smiley · Mar 07, 2006, 11:04 PM // 23:04

thats crazy 2-3 weeks, hell no, Best Buy i come. Just called EBgames, both times they hung up on me on the phone. So tommarow, going to go to them and return and get my money back and then go to best buy.

Last Sunday, I went to EB to preorder Factions but all I received was a receipt saying I deposited $5. I tried to ask the lady about the preorder kits but she said she didn't know when they would come in. After that, she said the game would arrive in May. Yes, it was a sort of WTF moment for me.

Upon coming home, I went to browse the forums of Guru and read the discontent of our fellow players who have experienced the same WTF moments as me with EB. So, I decided that I must take action and conduct an investigation. I called EB this morning and asked if the preorder kits came in today. The female employee over the phone responded to my question along the lines like this: "WTH is preorder kit? We don't get no goddayum preorder box. You want preorder?! You can reserve a copy today with us! We call you when game arrive." Of course, I am bending the way she talked a bit. She actually sounded quite nice.

So just an hour ago, I went back to the mall and got my money back from EB. It was a different employee this time. I also tried to explain to her about the preorder package and how some of the content in it can only be accessed month's time before the actual release date. I think I spoke to her in a gentle and kind manner but her eyes were widened and she looked frightened. She replied with: "We don't get preorder kits for Guild Wars. I don't know anything about preorder kits." Right then and there, I had enough of EB and asked for my money back. Before leaving, I asked her if EB and Gamestop were one company now. She said, "Sorta."

Shortly after, I went across the balcony to Gamestop. In the back, they had a glass case, and inside was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen: the Factions preorder box! I asked one of the gentlemen there if those were the preorder kits. And damnit, it wasn't. They told me that the real kits have not arrived yet but if I were to reserve my copy today, they would PERSONALLY call ME when the KITS arrive. The supplies of the preorder kits are actually limited and it is a RESERVE FIRST basis. Immediately after, I gave the guy my $5 and some of my personal information. He gave me a receipt but I didn't have to sign it. THIS IS QUALITY SERVICE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. QUALITY SERVICE!

So in conclusion: GAMESTOP FTW!

Mister_Smiley · Mar 08, 2006, 12:40 AM // 00:40

Thats cool cause i got a gamestop not to far from me. But i think i'm still going to go to best buy.

ReKLiS · Mar 08, 2006, 12:41 AM // 00:41

it seems everyone from my guild is getting it at best buys. When GuildWars Chapter 1 Came out i got my pre-order at bestbuys as well and they seemed to know what was going on.

penguo · Mar 08, 2006, 12:57 AM // 00:57

I have the same problem as some people, /presale + /preorder dont work. Heres hoping it'll get fixed soon
