Today is Thursday the 20th of April. In one week, on the 27th of April, Guild Wars: Factions will go live for those who preordered, with the rest of the world following on Friday. What more can one say, but...

Start Getting Excited Y'all!

Well, I'm sure when the game comes out.... err7 or blow up the servers by too much population who enter in one time. jk

Second, I can wait, I never lost my social life. I begin to step out of video games addict. Now, I play during the night after I finish to work(I was worst). When I will get my Pre-ordered Factions, I will install it but I will not play it. I always let ppl starts before me (I call the Big Boom: Gamers will got a new Online game, buy it when the game goes out and go all the same time... generally got a shut down to the server) to let less players in the beginning and less lags too.

Listen... happened to me... find other GameStops or EB Games in your area and check with them. The Gamestop here honored my EB Games Pre-order and gave me the CD. You're not committed to one store, and all the EB Games and Gamestops are under one banner now.

Mapquest FTW!

Only 1 ebgames store had 1 cd left over and the told I would have to cancel my preorder from the gamestop and order it from there. But since I piad with a mall visa gift cirtificate, it's to much trouble. I guess I wont get access 24hrs early.

Unless it's worth the five dollars to you to do so... you can have more than one preorder and only order one copy.

Think deviously.

You can order a preorder CD seperately from Amazon.com for $1.

I called gamestop and they emailed me the pre-order key.
I'm not sure if this is the right one.
When i hit edit my account, manage access key, it said:
"Factions campaign preorder item"

Is this for item only or do i get to play on the 27th?

Just 7 more days... I think I have my week planned. 27th and 28th I'm skipping classes.. The night of the 26th I'm going to bed at 8-9 P.M. and waking up around 4-5 A.M. That way, instead of staying up all night, I'll sacrifice 4 hours to be able to play the whole day rather then staying up till midnight then playing till afternoon and passing out on my keyboard.

Two Suggestions! One for us, and one for A.net!

Suggestion for us:
There should be a big multi-guild party in LA, at the docks and on the ships to celebrate the new destination the ships will have.

Have a few guilds hold various contests in each district, some for fun, maybe some for prizes. That's up to the guilds.

If anyone wants to expand on the idea, welcome to.

Suggestion to A.Net:

Tell the retailers that they had better have copies for every single pre-order applicant, so we can take advantage of the 24 hour headstart, or so help us, we are going to march on their stores and Kill Them ALL! *Crazy eyes*

The warning has been given. None of this "we don't have it yet," for a week and a half AFTER a release date. Yes, it took me a week and a half, after they were supposed to be in stores, to get my pre-order package from EB Games. If they make me miss the headstart because thier shipping department is screwing around, heads will roll.

Yay, 6 days to go and I haven't even got my Pre-order box. If I'm not getting it by the post today GAME.net will have one PISSED customer on the phone. GAME.net, I advise you to wear gas masks and bullet-proof vests.
