Guild Wars Release date confusion

Adonisvii

I went to the Guild Wars official website and they said the release is going to be April 28. I went to the store and i live in florida,miami eastern time and I reserved it and they said its coming out the 27th. I'm really confused now.

This is the e-mail you are waiting for see below, when you get this one you need to wait untill the morning of the 27th and log in using this key.

Your Box wth your retail key should arrive on the 27th,but you will not be able too use it till the 28th  hope the following helps

What are the hours of the Early Access period? When do the servers go live for release? Will I be able to play the retail version early if I get my copy before a given start time?

Early Access will begin at 12:01 am PDT on Wednesday, April 27th which is 8:01 am GMT. It will end at 11:59 pm PDT on Thursday, April 28th which is 7:59 am GMT on April 29th The servers will open for retail access keys at 12:01 am PDT (8:01 am GMT) on Thursday, April 28th. While you may have a copy before that time, that is the official "go" time, and that is when all retail keys will be activated in order for you to play.

How does Early Access work? How do I change my account from a preorder to a retail account?

If you have already activated your preorder account, you will find that you are able to enter the game using that account on April 27th. If you have recently acquired a Guild Wars preorder, you can simply input the key into your account page and you will then gain Early Access when it begins. You will convert your existing account from preorder to retail on April 28th, when the retail version of Guild Wars goes live. To do that, simply access your account page, enter your retail key and enter (or re-enter) the game.

You need to be sure that your retail account is tied to your existing preorder account in order to derive the benefits of preordering. If you did not preorder, but have character names reserved from participation in our Beta Weekend Events, you will likewise want to use your existing pre-release Guild Wars account. Once the retail version is launched, open the account page, input the retail key, and you're off to the Kingdom of Ascalon. And if at any time you want to change the user name/email address to which your account is connected, you will have that option on your account page.
