Unfortunately for the Aussies and Kiwis who would benefit from this early "release" - we are a work and school and can't access GW anyway.

I hear you. Even though I am in the U.S, I never wait up for the local start time of 2 a.m. on events and the like. Be hitting it hard in the a.m.

Hmm...it says $35.00 on the game store. I thought the pre-order knocked off five bucks?

Banks will decline identical transactions within a certain time frame, something like 15 minutes. It looks like a billing error more than it looks like a legitimate second purchase, since it's for the same amount and only minutes apart. The GW store may also have a limit, because I've never heard anything about waiting a day, but you can usually call the bank and they'll lift their restriction for you (if it doesn't seem to be happening after around 15 minutes).

You can always also add a character slot or something too, since that'll make the transaction total different and it won't trigger the fraud protection.

Though other posters are saying that the store can handle the load, so it probably doesn't matter.

Yeah the store can handle the load, the real fun will be when it goes live...:> Cause even for those us that already been to GWEN there will probably be new stuff to download, other stuff that wasn't in the preview.

Wolfwing, remember that the poeple using the store at the moment will be mainly US players. EU should be in bed and ANZ are at school or at work. EU wake up around release time and ANZ knock-off (finish work) around release time, so we will all potentially hit the store around the same time... Add to that the US players who don't yet release the store is selling.

Check your account to make sure that it isn't already there. If you bought on the ingame store it should be, and the email is just to confirm the key. If the key isn't there, email support, add screenies of your transaction - I hope you took some. This is basically the only way Anet can confirm the purchase.

-go to the manage keys option and see if gwen was added.

It wasn't showing on manage keys but is now, after a restart. Sorry, panicked, which is understandable considering other things which haven't gone to plan with GW recently...

Cool the pre-order subtracts money but doesn't make much of a difference after tax and such..

Okay, I got it. Is there anything I can do to download it or anything? And how do I actually get into GWEN when it is actually released?

I`ll wait until later then and get some sleep. Can`t even play.

Ah! Got there.
