But I didn't get the Bonus Mission Pack in my account, I know that the content will only go live in November but shouldn't the feature show up in the account?

The amounts you quoted, did they include the tax you paid? i Am pretty sure that wouldnt be included in anets calculation (it being $29 of their goods purchased) to qualify. I may be wrong, but Ive never seen another promotion included taxes... just a heads up for you just in case.

Just as a slight off topic also.. knowing how wary everyone is of the store on opening night, I this evening when purchasing extra slots (to qualify for the mission as I have GW:EN from elsewhere), the store timed out and later I found that they had charged my credit card twice...

Not exactly something that instills me with confidence when it would have been a "quiet time" on their stores server....

since i preordered in the online store then other money that i spend for the full game will go towards the online store right?

please dont flame me if this has been asked before

If you buy the full game from the online store, you will qualify for the bonus pack when it is released. Gaile has confirmed that (You should also get the price of the full game discounted by the amount you paid for the pre order also).

Doh! *smacks own head* I did miscalculated, all the while I thought the Pre-Order is $9.99 even when I bought it myself from the IGS...

Now I'm still short! Might as well buy GW:EN from the In-Game store, I've 14 characters slots already and I am disappointed with the box package and manual... Perhaps I'll follow up whether the Bonus Mission Pack feature is added to my account or not.

Ha ha I deserve some butt-kicking but at least I found out that ATM that there is nothing that will show that you've qualified for the BMP.

zanntos · Aug 30, 2007, 02:56 PM // 14:56

You WILL be qualified when you buy it, but there isn't going to be anything that says "You are now qualified for the Bous Pack" you'll just have to wait for it to come out in November and trust them to add it. (It's probably an automatic system)

MMSDome · Aug 30, 2007, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Hmm I think it is brilliant how we pre-order the game in the onlnie store yet when the game comes out we need to re-buy it meaning we only payed for some pre-order package. Why cant it just automatically be charged to the credit card because if you preorder a game you obviously want it. Sometimes I wonder what the hell the people that organize this crap are thinking.

Aramaki · Aug 31, 2007, 02:49 AM // 02:49

Yeah I just bought GW:EN in the In-Game Store for $35USD, GW:EN is added to my account but the Bonus Mission Pack feature still isn't. Just have to trust Anet to add it automatically in November.

To give people more control - for instance, in case pulling the money out on release time is somehow going to hurt the customer (there probably aren't many situations in which such a small deduction would have that effect, but it is a possible concern). If the customer has to do it themselves, then it's their responsibility to ensure that something like that isn't going to happen.

for example-i get paid friday.. i currently have $25 in that account, if it was auto and the transaction processed early it would either fail - or more likely knowing my bank, be an overdraft... This way, i have to push the transaction through to ensure i want it at that time.

If they make the BMP available, to be fair it probably be a few months later. So those that got bought stuff for it would have it, but those who want it can still get it but at a later time, the advantage is not spending 10$'s and getting it months before everyone else.
