Have you just recently brought a copy of Guild Wars?

The game seems to be out of stock in many places (this does not apply to shops).

I already ordered my copy from Play.com; it seems to be one of the few places that stock the standard version of Guild Wars.

I live in the United Kingdom, companies such as GAME, or Amazon.co.uk are out of stock. What’s more, this also applies to the other versions of Guild Wars as well, such as the collector edition.

If you have recently brought a copy of Guild Wars online, could you tell me where did you buy it form?

Anyone brought from Play.com and have any problem?

Hi there, it’s good to see a Brit around.

I have ordered a copy of standard from Play.com indeed.

Just that after I ordered it, I received information and links to some websites that display some cases of business from Play.com.

They seem to have a history to deliver the wrong item to their customers, and would repeat the error in more then twice. I have read at least two cases on a music CD purchase, and an Xbox, both from different websites.

Also, it is said that their information of stock is not always accurate, although I was informed my order status was "Sent", I still worry about rather it will be the actual desired product.

When I bought the game 8 months ago, I had to have the Best Buy empolyee's dig around in the back to get new shipments. It was sold out.

I was just in Best buy last week, there was ONE copy of Guild Wars on the shelf. I'd say its still selling well in my area. (as it should, college town)

Can't wait for it to go on sale again for $29.99...I want to pick up another account.

Try HMV, they had several copies in stock and the special edition is on sale

I have got well over £500 of stuff from Play over the last 4 years, including the original Guild Wars, and never had a problem until a couple of weeks ago; Battlefield 2 never arrived but when I inquired about it they sent another straight away. Despite this little set back I still hold them in high regard and will be getting Factions from them as well

How many days do you usually get your stuff after they are dispatched?

heh everywhere seems to have it as i see. GAME where i work in Scarborough has had Special Editions sitting around for a couple of months, but by far the cheapest is play.com (£17.99 + free delivery) and play are usually pretty fast (i.e. 1 or 2 days) with delivery. I and friends have bought many things from them and never a problem.

you can always purchase direct from ncsoft:
https://store.plaync.com/home.php

they even offer an instant download/key if you want to go that route.

its $30 bucks around here for a few weeks now

I also ordered it at play.com (8 months ago), took em 2 weeks i think. Later i ordered another version for a mate, took em 3 weeks.

Also bought other stuff from em and noticed that their delivery times are very diverse. Ordered 3 gamecube controllers (at the same time) and i received 1 every week for about 3 weeks.

Two weeks and three weeks are exceptional cases, if this happened to me, I would have never ordered controllers from them after that. I dont expect this to happened to me, or to anyone else, and accpect this as if just normal.

I got an email from them saying that I should expect the item for 3-5 days, but I have heard that even they tell most people this, but some has recieved their order the next day, I just wonder how oftern thats the case.

Azagoth, could you send me the link to Play.com's Guild Wars: Factions pre-order page?

Now that's weird! It doesn't seem to be listed anymore, I pre-ordered about a week or two back so I don't know why it's been taken off the site. Unless I just can't find it again.

However, my pre-order is still listed as being OK. (name & address edited out, for the obvious reasons)
