so let me get this straight

so let me get this straight,if you buy the game and without the pre-order you have to wait till the 28th to enter your cd key and play. But if you have the pre-order you can start playing tonight.

that is correct

I too would also like to make sure I have this straight. I preordered the game but do not have the full versoin yet, and will not have it untill tomorrow sometime; do i still get to begin the preview event tonight with my preorder key?

Correct.

yes, thats all true. But really, what does one day of pregaming matter. I won't get htat much time ot play tommorow even though I preordered because I have things to do tommorow and wont be free till long after the game has come out. this probably will hinder me in hte beginning, but in the long run, it will even out because some of the people who got preorder playing time might miss time later on, so it really doesn't matter.

Those are my thoughts.

heh thanks that is what i thought but after logging in to the game a few mins ago I got a bit spooked.

Really, it's just for bragging rights. "Haha, I get to play Guild Wars before you, nyah!"

1 extra day isn't going to mean much a month down the road.

I also have a question relating to this...

I havnt used my Friends Pass yet.. can i use that to have a friend do the early Thing?

you can only try with the warning it might not work
worth a try for sure

I think the friends pass was just for BWE, but hey it's worth a shot.

my friend wants the game.. and he hasnt pre-ordered or tried yet.. so its just a thought
