Pre-order / key code

I want to pre-order GW so i can join the last BW, but i want to pre-order it in a shop so i dont need a creditcard. So if you pre-order GW in a regular game and get the game myzelf at the shop do i get the key code than.
Or do you only get the key code when you call and use your creditcard?

oh yeah, i live here in Europa (Holland)

For me, I just walked into a local EBgames, plunked down 5 bucks, and walked out with a pre-order box. I was assured that when I returned on the 28th, I would pay 47.99 and get the full game, right there and then.

the bwe invitation code is in the preorder package

Yes it is. I did the very same thing. EBGames. It was the best $5.00 I have spent in a long time.

Yes, there is a small white envelope with the "Guild Wars" logo on it in black that has two cards in it the size of the envelope. I believe the card with teh key for you has black writing and the friend's single event pass has red writing. Whatever the case, it says at the top of each card. In the pre-order package box there is also a CD with music, screenshots, art and also the beta client so oyu can play in the BWE's. Also there is a book with information on the proffesions and character builds and group builds.

Yesah, GO! ASAP! Hehe, there is a list of places where you can buy it. They had a good supply of them at CompUSA where I bought mine. Also tehre was some at GameStop. There is a full list on www.guildwars.com.

Do you guys even know that not every country got EBGames/Best Buy?? Well a friend of mine pre-ordered it from Amazon.nl...I think it's sending you to co.uk tho and I don't know if you'll need a credit-card..if you know any german you can pre-order from Amazon.de too..I pre-ordered there and I don't need a credit -card + i played in the last BWE already! If you need help with pre-ordering from the german website I may be able to help ya too! Or just wait till they got new informations about pre-ordering from Europe at the GW-Site..

If they don't they should.

YOu don't have to just go to those palces. Pretty much everywhere PC games are sold I am pretty sure they will have it. Its a white box with this hot chick in tan armor (very very revealing armor ) with red writing that says "Guild Wars" like the logo.
