Exactly, im pretty sure this is last minute Idea. face it they have been working on factions for a long time and they needed to get it done, once it was done they were able to sit down and think of what special stuff they could do.

I'm guessing you ordered it before the FPE, after the event they stopped sending keys via e-mail.

Why would I have a good idea about what to do? I've had absolutely no experience in ordering Guild Wars and it's pre-order package. I bought Prophecies some time after it's release, until a week ago I didn't even know the Prophecies had a pre-order package.

And true, I made the wrong choice, but I'm only learning from it. Next time I'm ordering when I'm absolutely sure where to order and when.

by your crazy logic then, its amarketing ploy that they made a game called factions and want you to play it

a ploy is a trick theyd pull on you to buy the game, and seeing they are just stating this now, instead of a while ago, which would have given people more time to know about it, I can say its not a damn ploy

"oh no, they are putting fun stuff in the game that makes me want to play, those basterds, why cant they be like other companies and give us nothing special at all, then I can have a mediocre feeling for the game I just bought"

I preordered GWF after the Factions event, and my ishop has sent me the a key which gave me the preorder items, key for the Faction Event for myself and a "friend"( which wasn't much use for me, as I've GW Prophecies) AND the ability to participate in the Head Start (i.e. play 24h before no-preorders).

So I guess there is something deeply wrong with some online shops...

So, because I haven't ordered my pre-order copy of factions from those three (american) sites I can't take part in this? What a jip.

(speaking of which, I got my pre-order items key a while ago, but I'm yet to get my copy of factions or play-early key for chapter 2 from the site I bought it off [gameseek.co.uk] so blah.)

Hmmm, GAME told me companys weren't sending codes via email after the FPE anymore. Reason #347 not to order at GAME.

No your getting this wrong, there is only one pre order key. It gives you the pre order weapons, and it lets you play at head start.

the sites they listed are just some of the american retailers that have pre orders.

You have the pre order key, you are set.

This is incorrect. In the most recent chat with Gaile you will get your bonus 2 slots during the preview event but you must add a retail key to your account within 10 days or the extra slots and cathan become inaccessable.

there is only 1 type of pre order key. the pre-order key granst access to both, tiems and head start.

I dont see why they would make it so in your country that youd need 2, since there is only one pre order box

As I understand, you will get or via email, or you're getting a pre-order package by post.

well that all depends on where you orderd it. if it says you got the preorder, but nothing about how it will ship, it will most likely come when you get the game itself.

even then, if you ourderd today, id say its gunna be a slim chance youd get it on time

well the preorder was also for the weapons.

and seeing has the tengu even was only anounced yesterday, I dont see why its a big deal. its not like you have been waiting for the tengu event for months.

and if you wanted the game that badly early. then why did you wait till today.

Bah I didn't even get a preorder even though I ordered like a month in advance. I don't really care though. I'm reasonably sure I'm not missing out on anything vital. Just someone tell me how it all went when it's over.

hay, I dont know if you have a EB Games, but there pre order is only 5.00 US bucks, 1/2 everyone elses.

ok, before you sign in can you add your new key in ? and get your 2 special , crapy, items ? if so then your set for the pre date play, if you cant get the code then think your screwed. well as far as the pre day play goes. But if you ordered online, they should have given you a key code for the pre anyway, is whole reason for getting the pre, the 2 items and to play that day early. my thoughts anyways.

Bah. I want a tengu mask... I don't really care about getting to play a day earlier, but I want a mask. And now I can't have one because preorder packages are nowhere to be found around here. This is all a load of BS.

I have some questions..

1. I thought preview for Pre-Order Keys was the 27th...
2. Was the 24th a typo?
3. Is it only available for the first 24 hours?
4. What does a tengu mask do?

I'm not sure if people realized this, but amazon has had these pre-order packs since they started to be released if I remember correctly. They were only $1 and had free-shipping, came within a few days. Might want to check there if you still don't have one and it's that important to you.

I pre-ordered at Gamestop and those rat finks never gave me a preorder pack. I mean sure I pre-ordered before the pre-order pack was released but they are supposed to call you and what not.

all it takes is one email explaining you want to have it shipped separately.

worked for me.

note of hope.

my CE has been confirmed as shipped and i should have it monday.

possibly you will receive yours before the 27th with the retail box

I have it the same as you - before the FPE, my account said I have access to the Preview event, Pre-order items and the headstart. Now after the FPE, it only says I have access to the items, which worries me a bit - hopefully I still can access the headstart.
