I thought the pre-order kit became available today. Yet I don't see where I can buy it on the online store! Am I blind or is it not there yet?

It's not up yet. And there's really no rush to get it, you can't use the weapons until you add the GW:EN access key to your account. So you have until the 24th of August, when the preview weekend begins to buy it.

Its not there yet.

And I don't see why you wouldnt be able to use the weapons you get right now. All the other expansions when you got the preorder like factions you could use the weapons right away. Does it state somewhere that you cant?

I know there's plenty of time to still buy the pre-order kit, but when you set the expectation with the wife and she gives the go-ahead, you don't want to miss the boat. Anyone else here know what I'm sayin?

I speculate they'll add it later today along with a new login screen.

Don't order it from the PlayNC store IF you want credits for the bonus mission pack.

if you hunt around the 'Gaile talk page' on the official wiki you'll see some mention of the fact that ONLY purchases from the Official GuildWars store (the one on the character select screen) are valid to count towards this.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

Bah, I was hoping to get my pre-release items quickly today. Oh well, guess I got to hop on the waiting band wagon like everyone else.

I'm gonna wait till the store in GW updates. And in response to the possible updated login screen...bring it on. I need a new theme and background to listen to.

on another note they (gaile actually) said it would be available but not WHEN it would be available. Since no part of it is even live until the first day of the sneak preview it doesn't really matter but I would have liked to know I had the key and didn't have to dread something not working the day of the event.

I too was looking forward to equipping all my caster heroes with a cool new staff to replace the broken factions staff but I also have a sinking feeling that the only staff that spawns upon /bonus will be for the class you are. Maybe secondaries will count which will work albeit not very efficiently.

You can't even do anything with the pre-order until the 20th of August, so theres no rush.

That'll teach me to be enthusiastic for the games I play! I believe this is what Jon Stewart would call a Marketing and PR catastrophuck. Alienate your market by not living up to the customer expectations you imposed on your own sensuously curvaceous corporate body.
