Still, backup dancers? How about something more closely related to the Divine Aura?

* The Guild Wars: Factions Collector's Edition contains:
- Guild Wars Factions Game
- Guild Wars Factions Premium Art Book (Concept and In Game Art)
- Guild Wars Factions Desk Calendar
- Guild Wars Factions Mouse Matt
- Guild Wars Factions “Cantha” Poster
- Guild Wars Factions Sticker Set
- Guild Wars Factions Sound Track CD from Jeremy Soule
- TWO additional character slots – when added to existing Guild Wars accounts
- Exclusive in game CE items –Signature Emotes for Ritualist and Assassin professions in Factions. Special ‘emotes’ useable exclusively by players who purchase the Guild Wars Factions Collector's Edition. Customers with a CE access key on their account will be able to trigger special dances for Ritualist and Assassin characters. These will be augmented versions of the standard dance, with special effects, and when the dance begins several backup dancers will appear behind the character to augment his dance moves with custom backup dances. For the Ritualist, these will be dancing spirits, similar to the spirits that he summons on the battlefield. For the Assassin, these will be shadowy assassins who do "ninja-style" moves synchronized with the character's dance.

I doubt I'll buy the collector's edition, I don't even plan on playing Ritualist or Assassin I'll just wait for ANet to realise the official discription on their site, and if it gives me another slot, I'll definitly buy it, otherwise, I'll pass.

What coldplay was referring to was the rumor that the CE was to receive 3 slots instead of the 2 stated in the info.

Well I think that may just be a reference the fact that Factions gets two slots when linked, not two additional on top of that.

Gaile has said (in game chat) if you have CE of chapter 1, you will get Divine Glow for Rit / Asa (aka you buy normal version of C2 and have C1 CE you will get the Divine Glow).

I left that out due to fear about 6 vs 8 slot arugment in this tread - I'm adding it back in.

It is, one of the sites that did pre-orders (in the past, UK I think) listed a special key you can add to get an “additional” slot vs the regular edition.

I view it as the "merge" to get 6 slots that Anet has stated (no matter what version).

Heres story in full: A site (in the UK I think..) listed CE contents way before Anet had even arranged the CE package, and they listed one of the perks as a CD-Key that will net you 1 extra slot ON TOP OF the 2 you get with Factions.

Now the real package is for preorder, and that was confirmed just a rumor, people are backlashing about it saying they DEMAND a extra slot with CE lol.

I have friends that cancelled their CE preorder when they found out it didnt come with an extra slot.

So... I just purchased the pre-order package from Amazon for a buck. As we all know, I can play factions 24 hours early with a cd key included in this package. Obviously, I'm going to have to pay for the full game sometime later, but where does that happen? Can I pay the full amount online while I download the full client with my cdkey on the 27th? Or will I have to go to some store during or after the 10 day trial to buy the full game still?

the 14 hour/10 day trail is for prophecies not factions.also jeff said that pre-orders would get the 24 hour early bonus + an extra 24 hours on the client so you don't have to camp outside your local store on release day.

So ordering and downloading the full client online is out of the question? I hate gaming stores if you can't tell...

Oh crap.

Because Gamestop is more convenient and closer (not to mention there is only games there).

rather low considering Prophecies was 80 for CE.

Not that I will get CE unless I get extra slots. Items/Divine Aura/headset/3 month teamspeak not enough incentive for 30 bucks.

I've just read on IRC that there will be maybe 2+1 new slots for people with CE ?

Got anybody any proof for this? Then I have to retract my simple pre-order box. O_o

learn this please

The collector's edition contents have been announced, and this rumor is proven false.

Alex has hinted that there might be a difference between teh EU collectors and the US collectors

the only bad thing about that is, until i know the contents (march 17th) i cant do anything regarding odering (especially since im from australia)

I do however want to get the pre-order AND collectors, so if gamestop ship to australia i might go with them

Hey Gaile,

I just posted this to the content thread, but the NA CE version doesn't get everything the Euro CE does? The Euro CE includes everything in the NA CE plus:

* Cloth Picture
* Collectable Plastic Game Activation Card

So, if I preorder, I won't be paying any extra cash in the end, right?

When I preordered the original GW, I got the preorder box for $10. Took it back on release and paid $40 to exchange the preorder box for the game box.

Does this preorder work the same way? If so, when I take the preorder back, will I just get the game box free, since its already a $50 preorder?

EDIT: Well, checked Amazon, and found the preorder is actually $1. Is this the same for all stores? How does the Amazon preorder work? Would I have to buy the $1 preorder disk and preorder the $49.99 game at the same time? What would happen if I only bought the $1 preorder disk?

Sorry for all the questions. :\ Just want to make sure I get it right.
