Sweeping Storyline - Return to the battle-scarred continent of Tyria.
Reunite with old friends, discover new allies, wreak vengeance on old foes, and face-off against a menace so great it threatens the very existence of the people of Tyria.
Dungeons - Explore a sprawling underground complex of caverns that spans an entire continent.
18 multi-level dungeons filled with traps, puzzles and secret passages.
Immortalise Your Legend - Your achievements, trophies and titles from Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North will not be forgotten. Your Hall of Monuments will preserve them until your descendants can claim them in Guild Wars 2.
10 New Heroes - Enlist the aid of new races, including the Viking-like Norn, the magical Asura, and even a few surprises.
150 New Skills - Play with skills unlike anything seen in Guild Wars before, like the Light of Deldrimor, which can simultaneously detect hidden objects and smite evil foes.
40 New Armour Sets - A combination of powerful new sets and rare stand-alone pieces worthy of the great heroes of the land.
its worth it.

Gaile confirmed you will get $5 off GW:EN online if you buy the Pre-release package online.

Stores should too, I think Nightfall was the exception to the discount policy.

I payed $38.88 w/shipping from Amazon.com it's PRE-ORDER meaning it will ship on day it gets released.
I don't know of a PRE-RELEASE meaning you will get it before those waiting for release date.

Hey, I never noticed that particular language before.

Sounds intriguing, although I hope if the "rare stand-alone pieces worthy of the great heroes of the land" are higher powered than regular armor it will still be attainable by casual players?

a stand alone armor piece is probably something like a dragon mask..

Did Gaile really confirm the 5 bucks off? I thought she had posted somewhere that they will be separate purchases.

Well, if we can get GW:EN, the prerelease, and that special bonus pack for 40 bucks, then I'm in...as long as the security in the GW store is good enough.

too bad they dont have pics of the items. But the pre orders sound decent. But the caster wep i guess looks like a universal weapon, which is pretty sweet.

I got a pre-release package free when I pre-ordered Nightfall. I thought that was the idea?
