Good thing I got my key via email or I'd be panicking.

You can spawn them, use them, trash them, and respawn them as many times you like.

ok, I preordered my copy of Factions CE a while back, and today I got the delay email... which sucked.

anyway, I was wondering how NCSoft(or areanet, or whoever needs to know) will know I preordered. Will gamestop send them my email? Will gamestop email me a key to enter?

a few days ago I got this email:

so, was what they sent me the key? Am I one of the lucky ones who is actually gonna get CE on tyme?

Sorry for all the questions, but I am very confused by all this nonsense.

Please advise.

I preordered at the EB game store last week and they told me I could pick up the game on the 27th. When I called today to confirm they told me the 28th.
I thought I could pick it up and play on the 27th. Turns out they were out of they preorder CD and never told me. None of the Local stores have it. At one of the EB's I called he told me the he couldnt get one for himself and he got his at Target. He told me to try Wallmart or Target. Went to two and couldnt find.

Does anyone know if any Brick and Mortar stores still have this?

I recommend checking Home Depot. If my pre-order key doesn't come in the mail today LIKE IT SHOULD, A guildie of mine has a hook up with ebgames and says he could give me one. I think the tengu masks exploded all pre-order boxes.

Couple possible answers...

To start, CE is Delayed...talked to customer service this morning. No known release date, 4 May at the EARLIEST.

ONE: if they sent you the pre-order box for the CE, then it contains the event key...put it on your account and you get access during the head start, to include opening 2 additional chara slots for linked accounts. After the head start ends, you will NOT be able to access new Factions charas until you put on a Factions retail box key though...which means you wait till the CE ships.

TWO: if they did not send you a pre-order box, advice is to find a friend with a pre-order key who is not using it...

Sry, know the news sucks...personally, I am not a happy camper atm. Hope it gets better as the day goes on. The folks at Gamestop are trying to find a work around for it...ANet did a big boo boo with this one and the retail folks are getting the brunt of the angst...REMEMBER TO BE NICE TO THE FOLKS AT EBGAMES AND GAMESTOP, etc...THE DELAY IS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THEY ARE WORKING THIER BUTTS OFF TO GET THE REGULAR EDITIONS OUT QUICKLY.

mm00re · Apr 26, 2006, 05:15 PM // 17:15

no more than likely this is the pre-order package.

I just got off the phone with gamestop hq and they were informed late last night that ncsoft will not be providing any temp keys for those that ordered the CE edition.

their stores are on a 24 hhour delay so it is doubtful any of them have this latest info but if they call they will be informed of the same thing.

white wolfgang · Apr 26, 2006, 05:21 PM // 17:21

I have started a thread to see if anyone knows where to find the preorder key
It seems hopeless one Guy at EB told me to look in Target

refused · Apr 26, 2006, 05:23 PM // 17:23

THAT is the pre-order box because I check out my order tracking on EBGames and it showed the pre-oder as shipped while the ACTUAL game still pending. Mine was shipped the same day... hell, same e-mail. It better come in today.

chaos of the elemen · Apr 26, 2006, 05:56 PM // 17:56

thanx to all that replied... I sure hope they extend things for preorder people... I spent close to $90 making sure I could play ASAP and now I have to wait weeks!

mrcake · Apr 26, 2006, 06:00 PM // 18:00

Well i pre order factions around a month ago from gameplay safe in the knowledge i would get it for the early start on 27th.
Turns out my girlfriends card who i order it on has been used fraudulantly so got canceld yesterday, and gameplay went to take the money today but card was canceled so no joy!
Whats the deal with the pre order keys if i order know do they email it to you or does it come in the box?
Is there any shops in the u.k that will have it on shelfs tomorow??

thanks

This is the reason why I canceled my preorder CE from Gamestop. Totally ridiculous. I spent over $80 for CE and this crap happens. I'm not a happy camper either so I just ordered the SE instead and it will arrive by Friday, which is the launch day. I'll still have the 24 hour head start as I also have the preorder key.

Balthasar · Apr 26, 2006, 06:40 PM // 18:40

i ordered a copy of factions from play.com and it hasnt said it has posted which i would expect if it is meant to arrive on friday. also i havent yet received the pre order key. i looked on the GW website and it said that it has been globally shipped today. does this mean that it has been shipped to the suppliers and shops etc or posted by the individual companies to you?

If ir doesnt arrive before Saturday i will have to wait til tuesday which sucks

chaos of the elemen · Apr 26, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

I am debating doing the same, but there are supposedly plenty of extras in the CE.. I dunno what tho (long tyme since I ordered)

Phrozenflame · Apr 26, 2006, 06:54 PM // 18:54

Hiye,

Guys, I'm looking for some place where they can INSTANTLY or pretty soon email me the FACTION's CD KEY so I can start playing, I dont want pre-order, just the game, so like it'll download the data, stream it and I can play....

Any online retailer which gives me the cd key real fast and ships the order like usual....

refused · Apr 26, 2006, 07:22 PM // 19:22

Does anyone know where I can get a pre-oder key to e-mail?
