Does anyone know why I am seeing that red text message above my character slots that reads, "Your account is not yet authorized to play Guild Wars" When I login to the NF Preview event??? It is 12:31 PDT right now and the event should be live.
Can anyone please cure my frustration and tell me why it is not authorized? Is my account the only one, or has the event just not been launched yet?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!!!

I looked to see if I could find this info - with no luck - sorry if I put the wrong search info in = =
Should I use the Key that came with my "Pre-Release" pack or the one supplied by the site?
Or does it make a difference?
Does the new character slot show up or do you have to delete one of your characters and then create a new one?
Thanks so much in advance - and again I apologize if this has been covered over and over again.

Hmm...let me see if I can answer.
If you already have Guild Wars: Prophecies or Factions, then you don't need the main GW site codes to play in the preview. You just log in and select "Nightfall" campaign with one of your open character slots.
If you don't have GW, then the CD key on the main site will be what you use, after you download the client.
Also, the CD key from the pre-release pack allows you to type "/bonusitems" to receive the icy scythe and fiery sunspear right now. The extra character slot appears when you input the "Nightfall" CD key.
Hope this helps.

If you have a GW account then you do not need to add the key on the site.
The character slot from the preview bonus disk will only show up when you add the key for Nighfall (when it comes out)
It will not show during this preview.
You do not have to delete one of your characters to be able to play.
Just create another account (it does not even have to be a valid email) and then use the key that is posted on the site.

i created a new account for it, and im also getting that message, so i guess we will just have to wait a bit longer

Thank you both so much for the replies.
I do already have all of the GW packs and bought the Nightfall PreRelease for the extra "bennies" and the key for this preview week-end.
I have used all of my 6 slots - and while waiting for the site to come up was reading some more of the threads for info
I had already entered the 'key' that came with the disc - but started to wonder if I did it all correctly - too much time to think (over thinking TeeHee).
Thanks again

Shattered Self
Grrr, I got up early for this too, since today is the only day I'll get to play. 
Arteful Dodger
OK I'm a bit confused here. I have both Prophecies and Factions. I have extra character slots. When I log in and click on the Nightfall icon it just opens up an information screen. I see no options to create either of the two new character types. If I try Prophesices or Factions I can only create one of the old professions. How or what am I supposed to do to be able to check out the Nightfall event?
LightningHell
Darnit, still nothing, and it's :40...
BeXoR
I tried with a new account, with my factions preview account and with my existing account and none are "authorised to play guild wars at this time" or able to create an Elonian character.
WTF?
WTF?
Pinna
Dodger, did you even read the "Event Update" announcement? There's a delay.
AyeJaye
Well, first off, even though GW.com says the event is now in full swing, I can't create a Nightfall charater, as the option is greyed out at the Campaign selection screen.
bigwig
well guildwars.com did update to say that the event was ready to go, where previously it had announced a delay, but yeah.
the servers are being updated slowly, one at a time. just give it time.

D'oh question of the day =
How do you create another account?
Do I still use the same key numbers/game as I already have installed?
Senior moment #371
Edit (Senior moment #486) I was suppose to get a new charactor slot with the pre-order - it is Not showing up - why?

ia64
well this sucks... all the character slots in my regular account are already taken so I have to make a temp account just for this weekend, thats cool and all but every skill I unlock in the weekend event will be lost at the end.
I cant see whats so hard about giving us atleast one extra slot just for the weekend event, after all it only helps Anet that people test out the game...
ah well...

Im not sure if this is directly related to the Nightfall Event, or just all preview events, but everytime there is some sort of sneak-peak/preview test event i get frequent (and i mean frequent) Error7's. The day the event is over, im fine again.
This makes it so incredibly hard to play and test the game to see if i want to even buy it.
Any ideas on how to fix this, or what this is related to?

Everyone in my guild but me can make new nightfall pve chars. When i try, i just get the same old nightfall coming soon screen with an OK button, and can't get beyond it.
I've run gw with -image, and i got the update to the skills window [k] but i can't seem to get any of the rest of the event.
Ideas?

I'm getting a really annoying bug..
Whenever I cast Arcane Echo, and then the new Necro Elite "Reaper's Mark" The game freezes (in Isle of nameless) or kicks me due to 'loss of internet connection' (in RA maps)
Very annoying.
EDIT: I don't even have to cast Arcane Echo. Whenever I cast 'Reaper's Mark' it breaks

I finished the opener mission before you get to the trainers and didn't get drops that usually appear in a window after a mission. Basically I kill the last guy and blue weapon drops, cinematic goes then no option to get drop. If the rest of the missions have this same 'issue' then I see it as an issue...
EDIT: OIC I was still 'in' the mission and got the drop after I got done...

I had a crash to blue screen - an error in the nvatabus.sys file - while in the first mission town, after having adjusted the graphics options around.
In two years, I've never had a crash in GW before, and am very certain that this system is stable, as I use it for high-end pro audio daily.

Did the tutorial, got to the first small outpost. I took the quest to defend the village and went to load the Chahbek Village instance. Gave up after being stuck at 0% for 10 minutes. Tried three times now with no joy.
EDIT - Now I can't login with any characters. After being able to login with my nightfall character 3 times any other character sit at 0% when attempting to load.

Glitch or something... Random rollback during mid play.
I had just finished selling some stuff and trashing my starters spear and suddenly I was zoned to the town I had previously been to, my atts were reset, and everything was back in my inventory... o_O While I dont know if it was intened or just some random reset surge - I wonder how often it will happen.. I didn't lose any of my levels or rewards I dun think but it was very odd..... And I have no clue where I got this expert salvage kit but thanks o_O!

Zoned out of Kamadan (outpost) to Plains of Jarin.
When game loaded my hero Koss and I were occupying the same space on the ground. I could look around but could not move, as if I were trapped to that space. Tried both keyboard and mouse methods of moving, neither worked. I tried to use the flag to get Koss to move away from me, but the flag did not take and Koss did not move either.
I then attempted to map back to Kamadan to try again. I pulled up the map screen, clicked on Kamadan, and said travel, and then... nothing. The map window faded out and it was just me and Koss trapped in Plains of Jarin - the map was not working either.
I closed GW and restarted. I was back in Kamadan, so I decided to try it again. It was not a fluke - when I took Koss with me, the same problem occured, both the moving and the inability to map out.
Can anyone shed light on this? I wasn't having this problem two hours ago when I first started playing, but there was an update while I was offline.
It appears I am trapped at this early stage of the game -- really disappointed that it's unplayable right now. Lots of problems today.
(am sending this in to ANet asap)

As of the new build from 5min ago things are seriously broken.
As soon as you exit a town you are frozen in place and can't move.
I've also had 2 error 005's in the last 10min.
Rest of my internet browsing is fine.
I'm on the European servers.

Ditto Polgara.
Kry Onicle
Yeah i have that also, as well as stuck at '100%' while trying to get to enter 'Cliffs of Dohjok' explorable area.
arcanemacabre
I'm having an issue with the latest build, too. Now, when I click the hero's (Koss) button in the party window while in town, GW crashes immediately. Happened twice now, and I know it worked fine before with no problems.
