...why who have already purchased gw:en boxed and have already used the game access key present into box have also the possibility of explore the maps of pre-access weekend, even so this pre-access weekend is closed?

is intentional?

p.s: sorry for may bad english, i hope u understand my question

So interpereted I think he said

"How did some people, buy GW:EN, but was able to use their access key and play the sneak peak weekend, when they haven't gotten the actual product yet?" I think


Answer: Pre-ordering from [name or store], they sent you the pre-order access key which gave you access to the sneak peak weekend + bonus items.

he's saying that ppl who bought the full version of gw:en are still allowed to play the new territories.
i can confirm this. i have the full game and i have heroes-skills-eotn maps available. it's basicly still the preview thing, but it's going on for ppl with the full game already. locked gates are still locked, unavailable quests are still unavailable, but ppl with the full game are still allowed to play the event at the moment

reported early this morning to a.net and gaile as soon as i registered my cdkey.

i known but the question is not this, the question is that who have already purchased retail boxed version of the game and have used the access key continue to explore the maps, even so sneek peek weekend is finished.

why?

oh, ok, sorry I didn't understand.

this is strange, I am quite surprised people already have the full version, but it does seem somewhat unfair that they have extneded time to access the sneak peek. I would guess it's a bug.

one of 2 possible fixes in my opinion:
Fix it so people with full GW:EN can't access the preview event anymore
or
Let people buy GW:EN in the online store now, so they can keep access of event.

I'd prefer option 2, all you can do is norn or dwarf faction now anyways. what most people were doin day 2 of event.

The thing is, my local gamestore gave me a shout yesterday, I know those people and they said there's a good chance they'll have the GW:EN full version with the key before the 31st (they think it'll be the 29th) so I think he means that some people already have the key and can keep playing on the full version even though the weekend is over, correct me if it isn't right

Ok, I have a question. Those of you that have already bought the full game, where did you buy it?? I thought the game did not go on sale until August 31st.

This is ridiculous! I always planned to buy GW:EN from the online store, mostly because I want the bonus mission pack. But because it isn't there yet I obviously can't buy it and other can. That's fine by me, but allowing people who already have access to the game continue playing is actively rewarding the people who didn't buy the game directly from their own shop. It's not like these shops started selling GW:EN without Anet knowing as Anet must have to give the shops a day they can release the game. To be honest I think this is wholly unfair and should immediatly be rectified.

A word (the official kind) would be good right now. I have planned to buy the game on line for the promote but... I really wouldn't mind keep going for those hunting parties.

It's a bug. Doesn't matter if you have the retail box or not, you should not be in EotN.
