I dunno about u but i had just got back from EBgames Paid in full $59.99($68.38)Cad and also got the pre-release bonus pack and no where on my bill do i have an extra $4.99 charge for it. Maybe i just got lucky but im not complaining.

A normal slot goes for $9.99 in the GW store. You get a chracter slot + a lot of promo material with two ingame items that make great starting items. I look forward to the disc for the 2-5 audio cd tracks myself.

The problem is Anet made the package but allowed venders to use it however they wanted. Ebgames does @ $5.00. Other are going to charge $10.00 for it. Some may even give it away free as part of the pre-order.

I have my CE Nightfall pre-order with EB (tempeting fate again).. but I will stop by Best Buy and they will proable have it and have to pony out $10 like last time.

As of 8pm last night, my local EB Games... has no clue what I'm talking about, and I think the shift manager thinks I'm a complete loon. :P

Sigh, maybe they'll figure it out today...

Ok..thats all well and good...i didnt get any other thing than the actual factions game for $49.99 US. Can someone just plz explain to me why the pack is not available for $9.99 at our local dealers today to buy like it says on the main website? doesnt say anything about gettin it when you buy the game in another month and a half.

Yeah 9.99 same price as a character slot lol. Which goes back to my main point that this is just a way for them to get you to buy extra character slot!!!!!!!!!!

You don't even have to buy this package to preorder the game itself since the bonus package is a standalone lol. So since no goodies with preordering I will just wait to release day. Anyways in my opinion this package should have been free with your preorder of the game like they did factions.

oh well

I went to my local uber-CompUSA. They didn't receive any copies of the pre-Release. ('Tho I suppose I should be impressed that they actually knew what I was talking about.)

Oh my.

Kudo's to ANet for producing games that have had only two rollbacks/issues in two years. Kudo's to ANet for totally bucking the MMO common wisdom and offering their game free of monthly shackles.... urm, fee$. Kudo's for great community relations. Kudo's for writing some really tight code. Kudo's for making their unique server concept work.

But maybe they ought to put a few more resources into communicating with retailers and their distribution network.

Blech. Is it that important to have 9 instead of 8 slots?

EDIT: BTW --- Grats to K. Sith for getting the goods! I'm happy to see that some players will have success.

All game stores near me were confused when I asked them, to include EB and another. Nor did they have the new PC gamer magazine today. Sigh

Yeah the problem is (at least where I live) you need to do it in the same store (or chain) and those that actually carry the preorder have higher prices for full games so you might end up paying more anyway :/

is it possible to waste a yellow dye?

the spiritbinder and war pick were dyeable... but just for the wraps. sunspear looks black already, so I guess I got my wish there.


@bandito- ever character gets one auto-customized, same as all the rest of the pre-items.

When you mentioned ths I contacted EB to se if they do the same and they said no. So far eb is the cheapest I have seen for the bonus pack. But stilll I dont feel like paying 4.99 for an extra character slot I dont need. Also feel sorry for those people that just bought extra slots for the full price and then this bonus came.

Best Buy does something similiar... but they don't actually tell you how there pre-order works.. just actually have to know about it.
