Like all of the other campaigns (e.g. Factions, Nightfall) the public always had access to the Sneak Peek weekend; those who bought the prerelease, however, were able to get in the Sneak Peek earlier.

My question is, for EOTN, is everyone going to be able to get in Sneak Peek weekend (and just a little bit later than the prerelease people) or do you have to buy the prerelease to even get a glimpse at the game?

Only the people who got the prerelese are going to be able to see it.... and who cares the pre is like 5days before the real relese

24th of august. Also, I bought the Pre-release Bonus Pack in a store around the corner. When GW:EN comes out I can turn in my receipt and they'll take the price of the pre off of the price of GW:EN. Even if they didn't, E5,- (about $4,-?) that's like, a hamburger and a milkshake, not a fortune.

Tho the difference with this weekend is that you can keep all items

Etta · Jul 30, 2007, 09:19 AM // 09:19

Yep, everything you gain from preview weekend, weapons, staffs, heroes etc, will be there or unlock for you when the game goes live. Unlike the older preview events where everything got deleted at the end.

wondering what's the % of gw:en available during the sneak peak weekend.
3 full days, if the game is all there i guess someone would be crazy enough to complete it all

Etta · Jul 30, 2007, 09:27 AM // 09:27

I doubt they will allow that. My guess is it will be like in Nightfall where you get to a certain quest and the game won't allow you to go any further.

Drop of Fear · Jul 30, 2007, 09:30 AM // 09:30

hope the area we can explore during the sneak peak is full of chests at least

doinchi · Jul 30, 2007, 12:38 PM // 12:38

I just hope we can use our heros after the preview event is over and before the game is released. I know itso nly 5 days, but at least we will have something to do, kitting them out and stuff. I really hope they add a few Green dropping bosses around, I'd like some new GWEN skins!

WinterSnowblind · Jul 30, 2007, 12:45 PM // 12:45

I believe they said you'd be able to explore the entire Shiverpeaks. It'll probably stop you from going any further after that, because you just know someone would manage to finish the entire game in those two days.

Is that true? I thought everyone got access to the "preveiw" at the same time in the past.

Although, buying the pre-release of Factions allowed a "head start" of the actual game (kinda like the "sneak peak" for GW:EN).

I can't remember what the pre-release of Nightfall gave us - a day headstart as well?

To answer your question, no the general public will not be able to view the "sneak peak" of GW:EN. Not only will you have to buy the pre-release, but you'll also have to own a chapter of Guild Wars as well.

GW:EN is an expansion, not a new Chapter, so all the "rules" of the past do not apply.

It gave no head start, just the two bonus weapons and an extra character slot, plus a trial key for Prophecies and Factions.

Neo Nugget · Jul 30, 2007, 10:05 PM // 22:05

Factions had only a 1 day headstart for preorder peeps.
NF didnt they just had it where you got to preview istan.

I do believe i read somewhere about the shiverpeaks being open during the game.

I wonder if you will get something special during the preview......something like the tengu mask except....... not a mask lol.

the bigget question on my mind, is what happens to the items stuff we get during the 5 days before GWENs offically released. Do we get to use all the gold, weps, and heros we find or are they locked away in a cold storage like deal till we buy the full game?

hmmm i never thought about that. We SHOULD be able to use them since we get to keep them.....but im not sure about if theyre locked or not. Im guessing theyre not.

Quite disappointing, really. I've been involved in every event so far, and have really enjoyed the preview events particularly.

Where I've ordered my copy from don't seem to have the pre-releases available so it feels unlikely that I'll get the chance to get into the preview.

Would've been nice to have NC/AN let people who've bought the rest of the series entrance into the event.

NeHoMaR · Jul 31, 2007, 04:36 AM // 04:36

Where is the FREE PLAYABLE PREVIEW of GW:EN????? Remember Factions? Remember Nightfall?

There isn't one this time.

Grab a pre-order bonus pack.

Here Finland www.puolenkuunpelit.com, give Guild Wars pre-order packs free with pre-order.

So it is "free playable preview" for me and all else who got GW:EN from that online place.

And you can't get the prerelease pack from the ingame store like everyone else i guess?
