question for Gaile Gray
Drithlan
Hello. I was at my local video game retailer and had pre ordered Guild Wars Nightfall the said they were out of the Pre order disks because, they told me, That NCsoft had said the disks were onlu t ooffered to Pre orders for the Collecters edition or sold for $4.99 +tax each, and had some one come in and buy their entire shipment for the $4.99 +tax, leaving out any one who had or planned on pre ordering. I had thought the disk came with the pre order only standard or CE. i was just hoping you could clairfy this for me.
Former Ruling
The Disk doesn't come with the preorder AT ALL (either edition) unless the SPECIFIC store offers it like that (some do, some dont). If someone bought all the prerelease bonus packs at that store...you'll have to find another store to buy it at.
NCsoft has nothing to do with that, They just distribute them. The stores decide how they handle selling them.
This is all answered in the Nightfall section.

Just to clarify, it is a Pre-Release Bonus Pack, and not a pre-order pack (reading the text off the cover of mine right here). It's intended both for people that already play Guild Wars, and for those that have yet to buy/play it, as it contains both promotional material, and a trial key for the first 2 chapters. It has nothing to do with pre-ordering, unless the store you choose to get it at requires you to pre-order before they give it to you. If they do that, then just find another store that doesn't.
I got mine for $4.99 CAD each (bought half a dozen, and no, only one of them was for me), with no requirement to pre-order anything (though I did anyways, but a week later).
(Someone might want to move this thread, or merge it, or something.

Here's what I was told:
Although NCSoft advertises the pre-order pack as being free when you pre-order your game, there is a clause in fine-print that says retailers may, at their discretion, choose to sell the pre-order packs for any amount they see fit.
These retailers are greedy bastards. NCSoft gives them free paraphernalia to distribute and they decide to sell it for infinite profit.
When I found out about this, I pulled my preorder and used the money from that to pay for the preorder pack. The clerk said that everyone who has come in asking about the pack has done the same thing. He got an email from his boss not 5 minutes before I came in asking why 73 people had all canceled their preorders for Nightfall on the same day.
So yeah. If they don't give you the preorder pack, it's just greedy bastard syndrome.

Remember, it's NOT a preorder package this time, but rather a PRERELEASE package. As for the guy who bought all the stock, I'm sure he's gonna be super disappointed when he can't get multiple character slots.

Meh, the shops around here didn't offer the prerelease thingy with CE preorders, only with regular Nightfalls. Not going to bother ordering it separately, so no prerelease boxes for me.

and the retailer should have never done something like that...one box per person per visit or something

My local FNAC store sells 'm at 1 euroCENT ( slightly more than 0.01 $ ) Maybe you have to register though.... but the first few days, you could just buy'm off the shelf and hit the register.

Over here, every games store I visited in an attemt to get one of the pre-release packs had never even heard of them! Not one, and I must've visited at least 30 different stores.
All I kept hearing is, "You can pre-order the game but there's no such thing as a pre-release package". Someone, somewhere screwed up royally.

Former Ruling
Note this time around the pack is not a "PREORDER pack" - They named it "PRERELEASE Bonus Pack"...For a reason...so Retailers could sell it seperately. It isn't only for people that preorder the game >_>
