Full price for this expansion/next chapter and we're not to what they'll try to hook you and hit you with for the collector edition. And still no mention of character slots yet for those already with Chp1. Yeesh.

Yep... will they hit that though?
But yeah nice to note '2nd quarter' could mean end of April rather than end of June

I was originally guessing end of April or some time around Memorial Day. End of May is still where my money is at. Gaile said June 30th is the latest it could come out. I don't see them beating that by a solid 2 months.

The Login Screen says "Spring", which I take to be February, March, April + May.

I'm going to wait and see what's in the CE also. I would like to see the details before pre-ordering it.

Thought I noticed play.com having the release date as March 1st, i thought that seemed too early. I'm going for early May myself

Well, since I wasn't around for the preorder of the original Guild Wars, I have a stupid question:

Was there an official annoucement by GW (ArenaNet, NCSoft, whatever) what the different pre-order items would be before some enterprising youth actually opened the box and found out? Or was it a complete surprise, and the details were filled in later when people got to talking?

I'd love to preorder one, and get a CE copy of another ... so I don't wanna get stuck with a nifty preorder something-or-other that does me absolutely no good

Yes, they gave a list of what pre-order item came from each store.

And you can pre-order the CE (or should be able to eventually - as they have said there is no CE listed yet), not have to pre order one and get a seperate CE, unless you want 2 accounts.

This was the pre-order item list for the first release

http://www.guildwars.com/products/preorder-items.html

So I won't pre-order til they list what the pre-order items are, and I'll definately pre-order the CE when they do.

Most retailers have been taking orders for the last month or more for factions, but most people i assume like myself are holding off till theres a comfirmed collectors or proper Pre-order package.

ebgames is expensive by the looks of that link, guildwars or factions can be picked up for under £20 in the uk.

actually I wouldn't mind - we're already 'expansioning' at $50 a pop looks like with chapter standalones, even for chp1 owners

and this is supposed to happen every 6 months now

CEs are usually another $10-20 on top, I really wouldn't mind a break
Particularly as I'm dedicated to buy 2

[all provided they have my additional 4 slots for chp2

that would be refreshing and make a CE more interesting
maybe they'll even make that the way to get the [extra] slots linked to your account... need info!

20 pounds isnt 20 dollars and any retail purchase has the opyion of merging for fewer slots or going separate.
as for the so called release date here is the official answer

Quote:

Guild Wars Factions is set for release April 28, 2006.

Quote:

Who says? Not us. You know better than to believe what some retailer or some website tells you. We'll announce a release date later. For now, enjoy the event

for above me.... this is only the taste of 2 new classes with other classes coming aswell... this is only pvp also, so this is less than 1/5th of the game.

COMPLETELY, TOTALLY WRONG

they are producing a second full size game you can continue your old character in or create a fresh one.

it will be equal to or larger than the original game so why should it be expansion priced?

wait all you want to

EDIT

from the site for about the last year

Quote:

How much does Guild Wars cost? How much will additional chapters cost?

Guild Wars is priced at a comparable cost to other first-tier PC games. The subsequent chapters of Guild Wars will be comparably priced in relation to other games.

note GAMES not expansions
