Very funny. truly. It's true, that "item lust" gets out of hand among players. "gotta get that magical bow-hammer-spell-stopping-foot-powder so I'm uberer than your uberestest char."

Have fun everyone! There will be more parity in this game than in others, so just go have fun!

Not only that, but it will make me attractive to women and give me influence over statesmen and prevent tooth decay! When I feel blue, it will be my friend, and I will talk to it and tell it my troubles when no one else seems to care...I will name it "Betty" and it will be my truest love and I will call it "precious" when I think no one is listening...*rips off shirt...knocks over coffe cup*...I will be INVINCIBLE, just like Charlie Sheen, and you will all worship ME!!!! Bwahahahaha...

Seriously, I got the bow because I plan on primary Ranger characters to start. I don't care how cool it is. I got the preorder so I could play in the BWEs...THAT'S what makes preordering cool...The item...bah...but then, maybe it's got unlimited upgradability...If it did, I could become god-like and maybe transend level 20 and be the first level 21 character...I WILL RULE THE UNIVERSE...*ahem*...but I digress...

For those of you still looking for pre-order packs, I was in Target today, and they had many of them for $0.99 each. I heard about this in some thread here in GWG, so I had to check it out. I picked up a few to give to friends for this weekend. At 99 cents, you don't even have to feel like you have to buy the full game at Target, if it's not convenient. But it will reserve what characters you create. Tally Ho!

Note that you can have multiple pre-order items with one character. You can apparently enter as many pre-order keys in your final account as you want. So it makes prefect sense to buy additional $1 pre-orders if they are from vendors with different pre-order items.

Guild Wars User Support: Preorder Items
Question
Can I have more than one preorder item on my account?


Answer
Yes, your account can have any or all of the seven in-game items. There are six preorder items, as shown on the Preorder Products page. There are five from the U.S. and one from Europe. Plus there is one Collector's Edition special item, the Divine Aura.


If you have a valid access key for the Guild Wars preorder or retail version (Standard or Collector's Edition), you can add those keys at any time to your Account Information page, and those items will be enabled on each of your characters.

pre order weaps Are they EXTREMELY GOOD?

Are they just having cool looks, extreme damage, special abilities no other weapons can get or just slighty better then normal weapons, so you will still be competitive without preordr weapons

There is a sticky about this above, I believe. Also, I think they'll just make it something to show off with a cool graphic, not something extremly "uber that pwnz j00".

Ah, well. Just remember that it's extremely unlikely that these items will be any good - perhaps the smiting focus since it's the only one in the game, or the european preorder item, depending on how it works, will have a minimal amount of utility in the long run.

would the guest code also get you a pre-order item added to your account?

I don't think I've seen this answered anywhere, and I might be able to get a chimeric idol if I can use a guest pass....and since I'll be playing an Elementalist, I might as well get something more useful to myself than the ithas bow.

Thats what Ensign said...

Anyhow, i just want to express my opinion and say that i think they should play this preorder thing like they did in Star Wars Galaxies where CE's got to wear a visor like thing... It added no extra stuff it just looked cool and was a way of saying,"Hey i got CE." And maybe it made them feel a little more special. (Couldnt tell ya, never had CE)

Secondly, even if these preorders are any good i bet by the first expansion that adds new items the preorder ones will be wipped out! hehe gonna use another game called Dark Age of Camelot as an example. Used to be able to get class specific iterms called epic armor they (still can)were super good for the time, but when the expansion came with Trials of Atlantis (added items) the epic armor now went striaght to the crapper.

Off to bed,

Ok I have 2 questions:

1. I have 2 preorder keys from the US. I entered them to different accounts (didn't know you can enter them to the same account). How do I know WHICH item do I get from these codes? I didn't buy at Best Buy or EBGames but at a different Internet shop not listed.

2. How do I enter more than 1 code into my account? Can somebody please explain that to me?

Thank you so much!

if you did not get it from one of the name specific stores you get the item listed as *all others* which is the censors icon

dont worry if it is not what you want as you will be able to get as good or better early in the game

they would not unbalance the game by giving super items just for preordering and leave later buyers at a disadvantage

my elementalist cant use my preorder item and that does not bother me at all

Ok. Thanks. Now I also got a European preorder code. How do I enter it to get the European item?

the code does not know where it came from only if it is valid or not

enter it in the usual spot

hope that prism has a nice glow for you
