No beta, special item, or early play for me?
Epiph
I just went to EB games and preordered guildwars. I asked them where my Beta key was and they said they ran out!!! So now i dont get anything for pre-ordering. Is there any way i can get my special item, beta key, and get to play befroe it comes out!?

You will still get your special item, but unless thet are getting more pre-order packages in before the Beta/release, you won't get to play early. But if there is somewhere else in town that you can goto they might have the pre-order package.
mostro
Did you get the pre-order box when you bought pre-order? If yes there should be a beta key inside the box. If not then you may want to just cancel the pre-order and get it from someplace else (don't know if this is possible). For comparison, there is a Microcenter store near my place which has sold the GW pre-order boxes for 99 cent since december, and the last time I checked they still had a lot of these on display.

All i got was a receipt that i have to show him on April 28th to get my game.. How do you run out? I cant go anywhere because my parents just left and everything is too far away. Im p-eed off now

order it offline.. i.e. bestbuy, gamestop, compusa, circuit city...
if you order it from eb online they have like free 2day shipping, but dont forget to enter the code for it!!!! or else you just get regular shipping
i'd be pissed too

hmmm dont live in canada, so i dont know if they can deliver there or if it'll be extra but yeah. try www.ebgames.com
Epiph
I already pre-ordered it though.. I dont want to pay twice.
worthless
but i believe, since you didnt get anything yet you can still cancle, usually once you get the preorder package they wont let you cancle, since you didnt get that they might let you... but this would require you getting back to the store which might be a problem with your parents gone
Epiph
Do i get my 5 dollar deposit back
Fezz
So long as you don't have the Box you should be able to get your pre-order deposit back.
Epiph
Alright. Ill phone a few places and then probably take the bus to the mall and cancle. Thanks for your help guys.
also: I want to be a ranger, but whats a good all around item that all my characters can benifit from?

I got my pre-order today from GameStop and i did get the pre-order package and they said i can pick the game up on the 27th. Might want to try there if you have a gamestop by your house.
Epiph
No gamestop's in winnipeg
Epiph
I just phoned best buy and they said they have no pre order info. I phoned a diffrent one and they said that you have to go to guildwars.com to get it. Theese people know nothing. What do i do now?
William of Orange
Sounds like nobody has the slightest clue as to what's going on up there. Not really sure where you'd go now to get the Pre-Order Package if there's no Gamestop nearby, Best Buy has no idea what's going on, and EBGames is ripping you off like this. Anybody have an idea?

The problem is the people at Best Buy are clueless.... Even the 2 I went to here in the US in Nebraska .. they are so clueless its funny. I wouldnt be surprised if the Best Buy in Canada 'HAS' the pre-order kits, but they also have some sort of POS 'point of sale' information that tells then not to release it until they 28th. Maybe they think the pre-order kits are what they are not supposed to release. Best Buy people are so uninformed.... And clueless. Sad .. so sad. I still have a friend pass I can give out that I offered to the person in this thread

Whichever of you Pm's me first for the friend pass will get it. Keep in mind that this friend pass will ONLY work for the next BWE which is April 15- 17. It will not allow you to access the game early on the 27th -- For that you need an actual Pre-order key .. that you get with a pre-order purchase..... so .. if your going to find a pre-order kits somewhere. I'd go for that first.

It may save some confusion & frustration to determine this before handing out un-used guess passes that may not work anyway.

Yikes I'd feel awful if that is true. Maybe someone can pop in and confirm/disprove this.

That is correct, to get the pre-order item and entrance into the final betas as well as the early play on release you will have to have the pre-order code that comes with the pre-order box. If you did not get the pre-order box you will not have access to any of that.

Question: Is the Friends Pass in the pre-order product good for just one friend and one weekend?
Answer: Yes, you may invite a friend to join you during one Beta Weekend Event. Those friends who subsequently preorder the game and obtain the preorder package will also receive an invitation for a friend to join one Beta Weekend Event. The March and April Beta Weekend Events will be held exclusively for players who preorder Guild Wars or for those who have a Friend's Key that has not yet been used.
So yes, you can use a friend's pass in the April beta if it is unused.

Thanks Deraku.
Though it's a bit confusing the way they worded it, "The March and April Beta Weekend Events will be held exclusively for players who preorder Guild Wars or for those who have a Friend's Key that has not yet been used."
Wasn't that the case with all the BWEs? Or was there some other way of getting into them that I didn't know about?

Now, could someone answer my question?

Your best bet with EB is just to bug them until they either agree to hold you a pre-order box when they do get them (my local EB has a dozen or so in the back) or just keep them reminded that they owe you a pre-order box. The final(?) BTW is coming April 15 and there shouldn't be any reason there are no beta boxes before. Just remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Futureshop has it too now. Saw racks of them when I went in the other day, in Ottawa (Canada) so you still have hope! Get thee to Ye Olde Future-Shoppe!

Mine showed up today at work from EB world. Happy camper here.

Just go to the Best Buy website and order it. Heres the exact link. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....0910996 65724 Should be there by next week if you order now so you can play the beta.
