EBgames shipping already
Dragonne
FedEx dropped mine off about 2 hours ago. I ordered from GameStop with overnight shipping.
Spooky
We typically don't get deliveries here until around 6 in the afternoon, which is still a ways off. However, if my CE gets here today and no one else has beaten me to it, maybe i'll snap a few pictures of it since people were curious as to the contents.

Well, I guess Im the only retard that pre-ordered from BestBuy, they haven't even received the game yet...

Although, I'm not sure how they are going to keep out other accounts.

All I can say is..
CURRENTLY INSTALLING!

To all of you that have the package. How does it look, is it the Necro?
And how big is the manual.

The boxes are different apparently.. I am not sure if by the store or just random. I have a male monk on one side and a female elementalist on the other.. The book's relatively small..though long. 144 pages, but mostly because of the fonts and amazing amount of graphics used in it. I'll snap a few pics in a minute, Just need to grab that damn usb cable.
Included in the package: Book, CD case (2 cds) "How to guide" (For installing), booklet from NCsoft (Lineage 2 COH, etc etc), and finally a small card from ATI advertising the X850 series.
Edit: Almost forgot. Quick reference sheet as well.

You can take pictures of the box, but the manual you might need permision.
Aiwahead
Here we go. I'll hold off on the pics of the manual till you guys figure whether or not I'm 'allowed' to post pics of it :P
Front of the box
Back of the box
Edit: Fixed front link

Top link doesn't work correctly for me ~~~ Error-- File not Found.
Demolas
Yea, Mine is different...had some mage and a knight in armor.
Auh
Someone posted theirs, which had the Necro on top.
Oh Wait.... Maybe you get a certain picture for a certains shop... Say if you got yours from EB you'd have a ranger, Since EB's item was a ranger? I don't know, But it's a possibility.

Fixed that. Btw the manual seems to have some intresting stories revolving around GW's universe.. Has a few creatures and where they are often found. Introduces the gods, several personalities of the world and also introduces the kingdoms and armies.
Edit: About the boxes: I dont think so, Because I ordered from EB games and got an elementalist/Monk book. They're probably just random collector items. *Shrug*

Yeah, the one I received has warrior on the Front and an elemantalist on the back.
Dragonne
The image might be related to the typical class that uses the pre-order item. There's a Warrior and a Necro on mine.

my box is totally different

I got mine about an hour ago. ( 11:30 EDT ) I was too awstuck by it to come online before I installed it and went through the manual.
I have to say, the manual is really nice. Like how game manual's were 5 - 6 years ago before they started cheeping out on them.

OMG just reading all this about people getting their boxes early and stuff makes me drool and go into heart palpatations XD
My bf is picking his and my CE from Best Buy, he'll open the box, give me the retail code and send it overnight or something. He lives three hours away but due to... reasons he can't just GIVE it to me XD.
I hope my retail code works with just the client >.>; I have the beta key but yeah...
I should get it Monday, sucks, but it must be done.
So wish me luck guys, I hope I'll be able to play with my retail key even if I dont' have the game yet, lol
He sent me my beta box too, gave me the key online so I could play it, got the box a day after beta started in March.
God I love him so much. He's having to shell out about 140 bucks for both of us, I didn't have to pay him for the pre-order thing, just had to for this, but thats ok!
Best Buy in the store itself better have it, or HEADS WILL ROLL!!! @_@;
I'll sue >.>;
Or something...
MREOWF!

UPS is spot-on as usual, GW should be here the 27th. Unfortunately, the address is now inhabited by my EVIL EX- WIFE!
My only chance is to contact UPS between the time it arrives at their warehouse in town and the the time it ships from said warehouse (according to the UPS people).
AAAHHHHHH!!!!

Auh
For EB, Did you guys order it online or in person?
Aiwahead
Online.. I cant stand the morons that work at the EB here in town. They dont know shit about the games they stock, WHEN they stock them. >.<;;
Vampyre
I just called my Local EB and they said, even thought I pre ordered it, I can't pick mine up till the 28th......
so looks like at least my local EB is sticking with the 28th date....

That stinks... I wanted to get it early and drool over the purdy contents.
I see Alex Weekes is looking at this thread... I Wonder how he feels about the early release?

It really shouldnt matter to the devs, they have the server control.
Question, everyone who has there package, did you use overnight?

Why should overnight matter? On every game I have been involved with (UO, DoaC, Everquest, shadowbane, anarchy online, WoW and a few others) the beta stopped and the next day the servers had been up ready for the public release. This was at least one day before the game was even shipping.
They know what day it is going to ship. They are the ones sending the product to the gaming companies, so there shouldn't be any reason the servers shouldn't be ready on the day the customers get the software.
Unless there was just plain bad planning and that means someone is in trouble!!

I just want to know if i can expect my package today or tommarow.
CatsPaw
I ordered the "deluxe" version way back in Feb from Best Buy, called them a couple weeks ago about it, to see if I would still be getting what I paid for with the deluxe version since it is not really offered. They said yes, guess we shall see when that comes, and also they wont ship until the 28th. I am sitting here wondering why I preordered again.....I guess I didnt pay for the access to beta events..that was a free package deal...but is it worth not having the game until a couple days after the game released, then having to go to work....my work ethic is dropping..I can feel it. *sigh* I am going into withdrawls....

I recieved my pre-order package last week and made an account. I entered the the key provided with the package. Today I received my CE package and after I installed I logged in using the account I made with the pre-order package, however this time it prompted me to enter another key again so I entered the one within the jewel case. Does this mean I will get my ithas bow? The retail key will ensure my CE bonus item, but I was worried if I would get my ithas bow or not
