Here's the latest on what's accessible right now, at just past 5:00 p.m. PDT on the evening before the Nightfall servers go live.

The Nightfall character slots are now live.
The Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack character slot will be live very soon.
The Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Items are available now.
The Collector's Edition Varesh Miniature is available now.

And...

Nightfall Access Keys are on sale in the Official Guild Wars Store. (See, toldja you'd have them in plenty of time to get into the game when the servers go live!

)

It's a very, very happy day, here in ArenaNetLand! Less than 7 hours, and counting!

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

hmm CE mini pet isn't showing up (on EU server), did get 2 extra char slots though. Also in the manage key panel there is no mention of having the CE bonus stuff, like dances. Will this all appear when NF goes live? As at the moment there is no way to tell if my CE code has worked correctly or if its only added the normal edition :S

Awesome Gaile, and great work on a very successful and smooth release!!

Congrats to all at ArenaNet for all their hard work

I picked up my CE this afternoon from EBGames already. I'm looking forward to the servers going live of course, as most all of us are :P

So is Anet going to throw the people who bought boxed sets and won't get them till tomorrow or later a bone and give us access for the weekend if we have a preorder box key added to our accounts?

If not then what is the incentive to keep buying boxed editions like the CE to support Anet? While the art book and dvd of game making stuff is nice i'd rather have access when the servers go live and not 24 hours + later

How/where do we get our mini pet? Is there some command we have to type in?
/bonusitems only gives the spear and scythe

it SURE would be nice to have a temp key to hold me over until my CE is shipped from GameStop

Gaile: why send your retailers their copies only 2 days before it goes live, when it takes longer than that to ship them? With Factions, it was the CE delay debacle, now I won't have my copy in my hands when NF goes live despite having preordered it months in advance.

I hope you guys learn from this......

The extra slot that some of you obtained through the Prerelease Bonus Pack is now available upon installation of a Nightfall Access Key.

Well this is very discouraging. Alot of us here arent getting our mini pets. When you go to manage your keys; Is the special dances, mini pet etc. Meant to be listed there? They aren't for me.. I hope this isnt the result of something really stupid like regular cd keys being shipped in Collectors edition boxes..

I got the mini and sig dances is listed in my key management. It seems that the CE issues are all from the European keys.

Thats what I was afriad of hearing.... This has got to be some sort joke..
I have already seen some people WTSing there Varesh in the Euro servers, but ofcourse they could be USA players that just changed region.
I really hope Anet intends to do something about this.

Gaile, if you are still around, there appears to be a very large problem with CE EU keys. From what I can tell - responses on this forum, the CE keys sold in NA are working while those sold in EU are not.

<-- Aussie, EU key, CE stuff is NOT working.

I hope for Anet sake they sort this crap out, I'm going to be highly pissed if I log on tomorrow to find things I paid extra for are not there.

My 2 slots for combining accounts is the only extra showing..screw ups on launch day are becoming a bad habit.

Pheonix, Australia has the EU release of the game. If it isn't working for us, it won't be working for the EU players either - unless Anet has added some sort of digital encoding to determine your gobal location and match it to your server location - and I would suggest this isn't the case.

Chillax a little, buddy... Rarely does a game release without issues/bugs etc.. Crap, think of any EA games release -- some (such as BF: Vietnam, BF:2) have shipped nearly unplayable on release!! A-Net is doing a bangin' job in my books to have the new continent ready to go tonight...

You'll get all that stuff eventually. Just chill out.. The game (and the mini's, etc) aren't going anywhere soon...

This is just stupid, I went into my View rights contents, and all I got is this...

The CE hasn't added ANY features...
