from what I heard its the code on the cd hardcover that really matters at the end.  U have to apply the CD code to get what u are suppose to get ingame.

Just dont' use the Item / In game codes from the CE and youll be fine...If you do it'll take back all the items you improperly recieve once you put in the cd key.

edit:

Bit 1 - The advertised content in the CE



Bit 2 - The advertised content in the CE Pre-Order Program



Now, as to Bit 1. Nothing has changed other than we are hoping to do something very special for our CE customers but if I talk about it today and we can't pull it off, this stuff will just start all over again and frankly, I've been called enough names and insulted in the last few months here to last me a lifetime. I've been a member of this community since pretty much day one and have spent uncountable hours reading and talking to the fans here. And while I don't need pats on the back, praise or other such stuff, the invectives that have been hurled my way here lately have gotten way out of hand. However, as I said here almost three years ago, this stuff is happening right on time as expected so I'm not surprised. It happens to all MMO developers this close to launch. So, I ask you to forgive me if I am unwilling to spill the beans on a surprise that we were working on just in case we can't pull it off. I wouldn't have said anything about it but if at least I didn't hint at it and people canceled, then people would yell at me again saying "OMG, if I had known that I wouldn't have canceled, screw you Jacobs!" So, I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. All I know is that if it was me and based on what I've read here today, I wouldn't cancel the CE PO. I would wait a couple of weeks (still loads of time to cancel if you hate the surprise) and then see if we deliver. But to get back on topic, all the special, unique and compelling in-game and real-life stuff that we advertised, pushed and talked about for the CE is still only in the CE. Whether it is the 12 quests, the quest rewards (items and titles), librams, toon heads, art book, miniature, etc. they are all in there and still exclusive to the CE.



Now as to Bit 2, The Pre-order program. Right now the POP gives you access to the HS (variable based on type), OB and 2 items. Since we have always, always talked about the OB as being open to more than the CE and that the CE guaranteed you access to the OB (which by definition means that it is open to other people), it is safe to say that nobody really has a right to scream foul there. As for those people who are saying that we said that we said that the only way to guarantee a slot in the OB was to get the PO, well, again we never said that. Our language is very clear on the point and it never says "The only guaranteed way to get into the open beta is to pre-order the CE. On our site it says "Be one of the first players to experience the glory of battle and the thrill of WAR when the open beta phase begins! " that is not the same thing as "The only way to get a guaranteed spot in the beta is to order the CE!" As to the in-game items, well, SE POs still get the 2 in-game items (again nothing is being taken away) but the CE POs get the two items + the 12 quests and the quest rewards (items) and the quest titles. So, even if you looked at it solely as CEs POs get access to 12 + 2 items and SE POs only get 2 items, how that means that the SE POs has almost all the same things as the CE POs is really way off base. Not the third bit, the HS is a bit more confusing. At the time we announced the CE, it was true that only the CE POs were getting into the HS because the SE program wasn't in place yet. So, while I understand being annoyed and even angry I also don't see why people are so upset. You'll still be able to get into the HS, we'll still have the right amount of servers (so they won't be overcrowded) and everybody who bought the CE POs will have time to prepare for the onslaught of opening day. While I have said, ad naseum, that I wish our wording had been crystal clear, it would have been hard to announce something that wasn't yet done or in place (the SE POs).



Now, on to the best point and one I agree with 100% and that is what we can do in terms of canceling your CE order. First, if you are going to play on the European servers and your canceling because you perceive that SEs will get access to the OB, don't, I've been told they won't. However, if you still want to cancel your CE in NA or Europe and your retailer won't let you, by all means let us know. If you are playing on the European servers, contact GOA and if you are on the NA servers, contact us and we'll talk to retailers to see what is going on. That's all I can say we can do at the present time simply because we haven't had a chance to talk to anybody about this yet but if you do cancel you'll be losing out on some in-game stuff as well as all the other good stuff. While it is true that some people who got codes that they shouldn't have, they are going to be real disappointed when they can't get the items they hoped to in the game (CD keys ftw).



So, that's it for me on this subject, I've answered all the questions and taken, quite frankly, all the nastiness I intend to (I don't mean you Loopgru, your post wasn't nasty in any way).

keep in mind its not a 100% sure thing but for most of us that did pre-order the CE a couple of weeks wouldn't kill ya.
