FedEx dropped mine off about 2 hours ago. I ordered from GameStop with overnight shipping.

We typically don't get deliveries here until around 6 in the afternoon, which is still a ways off. However, if my CE gets here today and no one else has beaten me to it, maybe i'll snap a few pictures of it since people were curious as to the contents.

Well, I guess Im the only retard that pre-ordered from BestBuy, they haven't even received the game yet...

Well, Anet specifically said they wouldn't be up till Wensday, and that's just for early access people.
Although, I'm not sure how they are going to keep out other accounts.

All I can say is..

CURRENTLY INSTALLING!

DarkWasp · Apr 25, 2005, 03:10 PM // 15:10

To all of you that have the package. How does it look, is it the Necro?

And how big is the manual.

Aiwahead · Apr 25, 2005, 03:17 PM // 15:17

The boxes are different apparently.. I am not sure if by the store or just random. I have a male monk on one side and a female elementalist on the other.. The book's relatively small..though long. 144 pages, but mostly because of the fonts and amazing amount of graphics used in it. I'll snap a few pics in a minute, Just need to grab that damn usb cable.

Included in the package: Book, CD case (2 cds) "How to guide" (For installing), booklet from NCsoft (Lineage 2 COH, etc etc), and finally a small card from ATI advertising the X850 series.

Edit: Almost forgot. Quick reference sheet as well.

You can take pictures of the box, but the manual you might need permision.

Aiwahead · Apr 25, 2005, 03:31 PM // 15:31

Here we go. I'll hold off on the pics of the manual till you guys figure whether or not I'm 'allowed' to post pics of it :P

Front of the box

Back of the box

Edit: Fixed front link

Auh · Apr 25, 2005, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Top link doesn't work correctly for me ~~~ Error-- File not Found.

Demolas · Apr 25, 2005, 03:35 PM // 15:35

Yea, Mine is different...had some mage and a knight in armor.

Auh · Apr 25, 2005, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Someone posted theirs, which had the Necro on top.

Oh Wait.... Maybe you get a certain picture for a certains shop... Say if you got yours from EB you'd have a ranger, Since EB's item was a ranger? I don't know, But it's a possibility.

Aiwahead · Apr 25, 2005, 03:40 PM // 15:40

Fixed that. Btw the manual seems to have some intresting stories revolving around GW's universe.. Has a few creatures and where they are often found. Introduces the gods, several personalities of the world and also introduces the kingdoms and armies.

Edit: About the boxes: I dont think so, Because I ordered from EB games and got an elementalist/Monk book. They're probably just random collector items. *Shrug*

Rizzen Khalazar · Apr 25, 2005, 03:58 PM // 15:58

Yeah, the one I received has warrior on the Front and an elemantalist on the back.

Dragonne · Apr 25, 2005, 04:04 PM // 16:04

The image might be related to the typical class that uses the pre-order item. There's a Warrior and a Necro on mine.

Mephala · Apr 25, 2005, 04:26 PM // 16:26

my box is totally different

I got mine about an hour ago. ( 11:30 EDT ) I was too awstuck by it to come online before I installed it and went through the manual.

I have to say, the manual is really nice. Like how game manual's were 5 - 6 years ago before they started cheeping out on them.

Einhnader · Apr 25, 2005, 05:21 PM // 17:21

Well, I pre-ordered from ebgames but they aint gonna ship till the 26th

and + a 3 day shipping... well sux to be me lol

baranovan · Apr 25, 2005, 05:25 PM // 17:25

Yeah and it sucks even worse to be me; BestBuy won't get the game till the 28th. That's before they ship it... well if I get it sometime next week, Ill be lucky.
