You gotta hand it to NCsoft, as publishers go they appear to be pretty damn quick!

I got the same message and checked the tracking....Mine is actullay in town and scheduled for Monday delivery. Now I'll have to stare at the box for two days before I can play.

I think they do it to torture you....like the plain waiting isn't enough.

OK yesterday in a thread I posted about how a couple of friends that ordered from EB got shipping confirmations already, and when I checked my email last night there was on there for me too, says my Pre-Order will be delivered on 4/25. Anyone know what's going on with this?

Btw, here's a copy of that email

Bah if I didnt want the shield so much I to would order from EB but since my alt is going to be a Ranger I guess I too should order from EB. Should I or Shouldnt I??? I would like to get the game early like people getting it on monday. And a ranger is a fun char to play.

well. if ebs delivering them to you on the 25th, that would be good except the only thing to gain from it is to have the full game in your hands.

but only means you still have to wait and the most important part is still the full release access servers that will only open on the 28th.

gratz to you if you get it on the 25th...it would just make you get more excited about it i guess. (the anticipation builds even more...)

Well that's no good that you guys are going to be getting your retail versions on Monday. Obviously you can't play it yet, but I just have the feeling that I'm going to get the shaft from Best Buy and won't be able to pick up my version until the 28th. If anybody happens to go to Best Buy before the 28th (say, on the 26th) and sees the retail version on shelves, either post a reply somewhere or PM me, because I'd like to make sure I've got my retail version as soon as possible.

I say go for it, so far i have heard no problems with shipping from EBgames unlike other places. Plus if you choose the right shippng speed (2business days or w/e) you should get the game and the preorder in time for Early Release, i personally wouldnt worry to much about the item cause i have a feeling there are gonna be better weapon than the ones they give out in the preorders.

I am just wondering what happens if I had preordered from Best Buy, but then got the CE from EB? Would I still get the preorder item from Best Buy?

Yes, there are reports on GWOnline that EB pre-orders have their package shipping already.


I pre-ordered from EB but my friend placed the order, so I would need him to check his mail.

But HEY! We can get the game before the 29th now.


This makes me happy, I was afraid I'd be waiting around on friday.

Keelan, doesn't the special ingame weapon come with the pre-order and not the final game? If so then it shouldn't matter where you pick up the final game...

Is anyone else getting it from EB Canada? I'm still not sure of the final price on the game. I think I'm going to have to phone them. I pre-ordered with EB, but Future Shop is selling it for $39.99 Canadian! That's cheaper than the American pricing, minus conversion even. Plus I'd get a free Guild Wars t-shirt with it...

I'm really not sure... if anyone knows, I'd be greatful if you could let me know.

Thats what I thought at first Thriolith, but when you go to EB games, it has the preorder items listed also. Maybe they just send you the preorder box along with so they can get rid of the rest of the preorder boxes that they have. So you could actually ignore the "bonus disc" and just use the Best Buy preorder Key and the EB retail Key.

Here is the link to EB Game CE

You do not get the ingame item until the release
So yes it does matter where you buy it from

I was stupid and thought id want a ranger char, so i bought from eb. Now i like the War/Monk combo. But i like Eb soo much and they are so helpful that im going to continue to buy from them. Anet shoud let us sell/trade out special items.

There will be much better items that you can get in-game. The items you get based on where you buy it from are just good for early on. You will not be using them @ level 20 in PvP from what I hear.

I think the best way to know when it comes in Canada would be to call the place you ordered it.
Also the Futureshop one being $39.99 instead of $49.99 is because they get a postal discount(such as you buy full price then send proof of purchase by mail and recieve $10 discount). Like 90% of other discounts they have -_-'

Yes. Just checked with my friend, its shipped for us too.



And no the items are not for beta only, they are for every character you make on an account that has the pre-ordered games key, not the beta key entered in.


So they are for release not beta. And us EB orders should be able to use our bows on the 27th.

EB states it has been shipped and gave me a tracking number. I had overnight shipping and it states I will be getting it TODAY!!! and that it was shipped on Friday. Am I the only one who got this? Did EB make some kind of mistake? Or is it really getting here today. I guess I will find out when I get home from work.

Still no sign of them shipping out mine from Gamestop. They did have one day shipping, but I'm hoping they don't wait two weeks to begin that one day process! I suppose I'll have to keep checking every hour or so now, to see if they ship today.

Bought my CE from EB Canada, thing cost me $103.49 (after taxes). My gf has a pre-order on my account as well, but I told her I'm cancelling it and going to Future Shop on release, and stealing her shirt

I haven't been in any online game releases where the servers aren't up the same day the game hits there customers hands. So, I have no reason to believe that the servers won't be up sometime today.
