As long as it's before the game launches, a pre-purchase is a pre-purchase.
First three CBTs were pretty terrible as far as performance go. I wouldn't base my hardware specs based on a beta build.
I think until there is an end date for the pre-purchase, we can buy anythime

I completely agree: I chose to prepurchase the game because I'm hyped for it and I think it'll be great, and I did all that not knowing any BWE dates or the launch date. All I'm saying is alot of people are shrugging it off as being a "realistic developer" or w/e you want to call it. I think its irresponsible and a bad business practice.
It's £50 in the UK, which is £15-£20 more than other PC games.
pre-order != pre-purchase
I too want that fucking wolf skill but $20 goddamn
I find the collector's edition to be priced appropriately and the digital deluxe edition to be completely inexplicable. It should be like $5 extra, or, at the price it is now, include an extra character slot.

Mine worked fine. When was the last time you logged into GW1?
Yeah, it really sucks. Not sure if I want to get it without trying it.
It doesn't really look special.

Then I have no idea lol.
Did you read my preview? It's a very similar but different breed of MMOs.
I ran down to Gamestop quick again to pay the game off, just to ease my mind about using the code I was told over the phone.
I've got everything in order now. Game is paid off, code is registered. Now I just have to make sure my receipts don't fade before the game is released.
Beta forums not working for anyone else?

they say that there will be other ways to get in to the betas(like the pax codes)
You can also wait for the open beta
No, didn't read it. Looked back a couple pages but couldn't find it.
As I can't play it, judging by videos (even that one the OP said must watch), I'm not interested in this kind of game at the moment even if it is better than WoW. TOR has really wrecked what I want out of an MMO with its fully dialogue storyline.
Add the fact that I'm more interested in the upcoming MMOFPS Planetside 2 and Dust 514, not really sure why I would start GW2. Oh, also getting D3 for sure.
Yeah, I was pretty set on getting it until I saw the prices side by side. Goddamn. I think I'm going standard edition through the GW2 website... and I loved GW1. They're just not including enough to warrant 20 dollars. I'm already getting minipets through HoM rewards, and I'm sure the Elite Skill will be entirely useless. Limited use items do nothing for me either. I'll just put that 20 dollars toward something useful in the store like extra storage if anything.
I can tell you that TOR disappointed me as well but GW2 has pleasantly surprised me. If you still want a link to the article here it is: http://www.rpgsite.net/articles/368-guild-wars-2-beta-impressions
are we suppose to enter NCsoft account or the email that is tied to the NCsoft account?
What's wrong with Webhallen? I've never had any issues when it comes to their support. It's pretty dumb to pay for 2½ game just because you've had some issue with them before.
The only thing I really wanted out of TOR as an MMO is to have a compelling, fully voiced storyline. I don't think GW2 can beat TOR on that front.
From what I've played, it's on par or better - to my surprise. So if you're expecting a great compelling storyline from GW2 with voices then yeah, you'll get it.
Yep this helped... i put in my "username@ncsoft" and I was able to log in...
so XXXXX@ncsoft is...an email? Totally confused.
But it worked, so it doesn't' matter.
also I just realize...they didn't even tell me if they charge me for tax or not.. just 59.99.. so I guess no tax.
hm... didnt work for me when I first tried it, the "username" worked just fine tho.
Always found it confusing that they add a @ncsoft or @plaync to the name.

If you originally registered for the game with "i.love.turtles@gmail.com" as your account e-mail, entering "i.love.turtles@gmail.com" along with your Guild Wars account password should register you just fine, is all I'm saying.
Click on the link provided in the e-mail they sent you, paste the code, and enter your old log-in information.
Thanks! Looked all over and couldn't find anything before.

Hopefully this somehow smooths over the issues y'all's havin' with them fancy real-life game box things in the big stores.

addictive crack!
Maybe use http://support.guildwars2.com/ to ask them if they charged you? I payed this morning (8am EST) with a VISA and they charged me instantly.

When you link your Guild Wars account during the beta registration, do you use your NCSoft account or the email tied to that account?
Sweet! Got a call from GameStop this morning telling me I needed to call em back to get my beta code.
Called them, confirmed my identity through a series of vigorous trials, then he told me the key as I threw it into the site.
Anyway, it all worked out in the end and it looks like I'm going to get my CE just fine.

Yeah, like I said earlier, my friend received the email not an hour ago so I think they just sent out the notifications.

That's true. To be honest if I can run the game on low then I'll be happy, at the very least it would give me some more time to save up for a PC.
