Release in the online store?

Any idea when the game will actually be available to buy in the guildwars online store? Im curious if it will be before it goes live so we actually have some time to buy it beforehand..

Thanks

Nothing released yet on when we can purchase GW:EN from the online store. The most we can assume is that it will be available on the 31st.
There have been posts asking for it to be made available earlier to purchase (not to play)so that it will help reduce the strain of everyone trying to buy the expansion once it is released.
No answer has been given on this request.

Thanks, hope they do let people buy it early as i want to play it as soon as its live :P

I hope they do early buy (and not go live to Aug 31st as well).

It was nuts trying to buy and possible double charges for some when Gwen Pre-order showed up.
