EBgames shipping already

I doubt the divine aura does anything at all. I think it makes your character glow. I highly doubt it increases stats like the pet that follows you when u purchase the Wow CE version. Not everyone can afford the CE version and Arena knows that and won't let ppl who own the CE version have an advantage over the standard version users.

they are delaying the time the servers are up so everyone has an equal chance that preordered, this prevents ppl from getting lucky and being level 20 before there are more than 10 ppl in the game
Auh
I called my local EB to ask if GuildWars was available to preorders, And they said it wouldn't be untill 27th. So, It only comes early to those who have preorder it online.
You are missing the point. Let me put it as bluntly as possible.
Anet planned it for the 28th.
EB deciced to let it go earlier than that.
Anet did not alter their plans at all.
Anet is following their own schedule.
EB is going their own schedule.

When I log onto BB, it says it is "in process" 04/28/05-05/04/05 delivery dates. I guess it will be alright if the game arrives on the 28th. I can still play my Pre on the 27th, and I have to work Thursday and Friday anyway. Does EB games have a credit card? I have a BB card, and really that is the only reason I ordered from them, Oh Duh! The Targe! Almost forgot....
Ok last edit I swear! Here is the link to the box art and content at GW.

My order status from Gamestop now says "Usually Ships in 24 Hours" which I take to mean that they have it in stock and will soon send it. Their front page also states that it will ship 04/26. YES.

Gamestop sent me an e-mail with this.
Your order shipped on 4/25/2005.
Looks like it's on its way.

Anet must have known about EB, because they added the key asking thing back on again.

Tracking claims the package is thirty-six miles away, but it'll take until the 27th for it to arrive. I almost want to go there and pick it up myself.
cc.pyro
If it was me I probably would go pick it up....I wish they'd send me that confirmation already....

I ordered mine from EB, and I got the confirmation message that it shipped. But, when I check UPS with my tracking number it says it hasnt shipped yet, just that they've received the electronic bill or something. That's not bad though, as its only the 25th. I just can't wait for the game!
Also: This is my first post on this forum,(which I think rocks by the way!) and I hope to make many more.

But if you ordered UPS, then I dont know.

From my experience with UPS and USPS, on particularily busy days (IE game release days, belive it or not) their computers will backlog and you may not get the notifications for a few hours, or in one case even a day (I ordered a part for my jeep and got the notification it was BEING shipped the day it came. Same day that WoW had been shipping). USPS is particularily horrid about this, but UPS can do the same thing.

Atleast USPS shipped the pre-order packet in 3 days, I should get the game tommorow.

Edit: Took a pic.

Agree on the UPS thing. My order says shipped, but the tracking number doesn't work. So, it's coming, but not tomorrow. Sigh.
DarkWasp
Yeah, there was a bit of bad news for me this morning. I looked at USPS, and it said they shipped today, that was the plan but EB told me it shipped on the 22nd!

Because i live in europe, therefor i cant order from the registered preorder compagnies... so i just preordered it at a reliable internet store here in Holland.
But that also means i wont get any special weapon at the start of the game, now i dont think its devastating, but its also a disadvantage for hte european players...
I ordered the CE and i'll see what i get, i havent gotten any preorder package but i believe taht was US only (god it sux to be european
)...

From the Anet support site:
Those who preorder through a European retailer will not receive a preorder package. However, customers who order from an authorized retailer will receive four important benefits:
Assurance that they will have a copy of Guild Wars on the day of release
A Beta Weekend Event Access Key
The opportunity to reserve character names
A special in-game item
Please check with your favorite retailer for details
My in-game item is already unlocked
I would say it was not your "favorite" retailer
Chance Folly
Ugh... Just called my local EB games, and it turns out that they won't be selling the retail version until Thursday...
Devil's Dictionary
Just went to EBGames to grab my game .
Wow, NCSoft has really done an amazing job on packing GW. I never seen any other publisher to shrink-wrap the inner brown cardboard box before.

Plus i had to pay extra shippingcosts because there wasnt one in my country (dont know if they even sold to other countries, but lets just assume they do), plus.... i had some coupons for the retailer i bought it from... got the game with a 20 euro discount... /dance
Well i certainly get the Divine Aura (was on the sites discription), i can only hope i'll get the special item... i do know that i didnt recieve any code for BWE stuff, but i ordered after the last one so that could also be the reason...so no 1 day early gaming for me
But hey, i can still play the game....... eventually

Just called my eb game store and they said they didnt recieve any yet.
It's so sad but i guess i'll wait till tomorrow.
