I'm a little confused...please help

Okay,

I picked up my pre-order today. I log in...I TRY to enter my key and I get the error "Your account already has the access rights this key provides." I decide to send in a support ticket and I am currently still waiting on a reponse. I head over to the forums and I see all this talk about pre-order keys, not being able to play until the 27th, and more. I have a few questions...

1. WHEN do I get to play early access?
2. I entered the key in the cd case...is this the retail key???
3. Where is my pre-order key? I can't find anything in my GuildWars things about a pre-order key except on the back of the box where it mentions it, but I can't find an actual pre-order key.
4. Will somebody please give me a basic run-down if what is gonig on? I really don't know anything... D:

Did you pick it up from a store?

If so it might just be a normal copy that they set aside for you.

:/

Zintinix - if you have a pre-order, that password is good for 7 hours hence. If you have a full version of the game, you will have to wait until the 28th to play.

Your account settings shows which Access type you have. For example, I have the pre-order, and if I press "Play" right now, it says this :

"Your Account is authorized to play the following releases of Guild Wars :

Early Access Event (12:01 AM PST, April 27th)"


Hope that helps

Zint, an update was just released. I got the same message you did. Go try it now and it should work.

the cd key is the retail box which is completely separate from the preorder boxes which were out earlier

Yup - sounds like you are entering the key for the full game - that WON'T work tonight

Wow I feel bad for him

I have both boxes....I just can't find anything about a pre-order key

You should get a little preorder kit with some special keys to enter. If you didn't get them go back to the store and demand your preorder stuff. ~~~ Zai

I got a pre-order box when I pre-ordered the game...should I have gotten another one today???

Did you access any of the previous BWEs?

The pre-order box has two slips of paper - a key for you and a key for a friend to attend ONE BWE event.

If you don't have those slips of paper - go bash them with a Kanthan Targe

Yes, march...I didn't get to play april because I got into a fight and had some troubles to deal with that weekend...heh... =P

If you played ANY of the BWEs, then you're good to go for tonight

Well what code did you use to get in? :P

Tonight is the 26th...I have to wait till the 27th, correct? I just got it to work...don't ask me how, but I did. What I mean by this is...I got it to accept my key.

Well 12:01 PDT, so stay up late and you can play!

LOL! I wish I could! The dreaded school....I'll be playing my heart out on the weekend, though!

Use the beta weekend key, it is the key that also gets you the early access. Just set up mine and I have both the normal play and early play listed as well as the EB bow gift.

Hope this helps.

yea try now, within the past 4 hours or so, they've released an update and u can enter ur cd keys in now, the ones from ur pre order copy, and it will tell you that you are allowed to play "APril 27 12:01 PDT"
