    Hi I've just pre-purchased from zavvi well I think.. I've received an email saying the order has been placed but funds will not be taken till dispatch? Is this normal I guess it's just a generic email. If it is when do I receive my code as it doesn't seem to explain anywhere :s

    I'm in the same situation. I phoned Zavvi this morning and didn't really get a straightforward answer. The final words were that I'd tget a code sometime soon.

    On the GW2 twitter page there is a tweet to say that Zavvi customers will get a pre-purchase box with the codes required to activate your pre-purchase. I assume this will be soon. My order page says the stock is awaiting picking but the estimated dispatch date is 18th May. I hope it ain't.

    Hopefully it is all in order.

    I have another game pre-ordered that comes out in May, they told me the GW2 code would be sent out with that game :/

    Anyone else getting it from Zavvi use this code for £4 off the price - APRIL40

    I'd hope they send it out earlier than that. Especiallys eeing as the first beta event is end of April.

    I know it's only one weekend...but it's also a beta weekend. image

    All hail the Pixel, for it is glorious Orange!

    Anyone know what we are supposed to do with the digital keys we are emailed?

    Use the key to register the Guild Wars 2 Account.  If you already registered then just save it on file in case you ever need to reference it.

    Got it. So the key was just there to create/link. TY very much. saved and looking forward to...the next date!

    i've seen some info that guild wars 2 is to release 30th of June.

    Soo, if I buy guild wars 2 now. when will I be able to play the beta? Or can you play right away? It's kinda unclear to me.

    You get access to all future beta WEEKENDS as it clearly states under what you get for pre-purchasing. Which by all accounts the first one will be either the 2nd to last or last weekend in April.

    As to the june 30th release date. Dont count on it and dont believe any release dates untill Anet announces it.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I think I'm gonna sit this one out though, I'm way to occupied during the weekends.

    Actually, I don't believe they can do that legally.  Part of the pre-purchase program ensure that you have access to all future beta weekends.  Receiving your code in May would make you miss the one in April.  I can almost guarantee that part of their retail contract with ArenaNet stipulates that they need to provide the code immediately upon purchase.

    I'd report them to ArenaNet right away if they delay sending you the code.

    The code is a physical one in a box, it's also your retail code for when the game goes live. It's not the normal pre-order code in your email and retail code at launch with this game.

    I'll not be reporting them lol, the game won't be out till after the summer and there'll be plenty of beta weekends. I will however cancel it if it's <£40 on amazon.co.uk when they put it up later today and get it from them instead.

  • Ethan623Ethan623 Member Posts: 53

    Well i'll be keeping an eye on the order status for a couple days if i hear/recieve nothing from them i will cancel and go with another company.

    This is my first time using zavvi so we shall see if i use them again :D

  • DeaconXDeaconX Member UncommonPosts: 3,062

    Well... the online purchase doesn't seem to be working for me... clicking that purchase button and watching at a whole lotta nothing go down.  I'll just pre-order from a store during lunch :p

  • AmjocoAmjoco Member UncommonPosts: 4,860

    I know the question is here somewhere but it's to early to search (no coffee yet) but once purchased and registered, where do you go to manage your account? There is nothing on NCsoft or GW2 site.

    Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

  • BadSpockBadSpock Member UncommonPosts: 7,979

    Pre-purchase Digtal Deluxe edition worked just fine for me.

    Took a couple of seconds after submission/registration to get confirmation.

    Even allowed me to link old GW1 account AND update/change the information to be current.

    Well played Anet - now give me beta !

    Cheapest around and i got my game code instant!.

    Would normally use Zavvi, but after still waiting for my pre-order key for TERA i wasnt even doing to bother paying £10 more.

    They've put the list price back up to 49.99 UKP. I saw it at 39.99 UKP ealier but decided to try Amazon.co.uk  first. Amazon don't have it listed and a customer service rep told me he had no information on when it would be available but to check the site regularly. When I went back to dlgamer, the price had gone up lol. Finally settled for Play.com at 39.99 UKP but my previous pre-order experience with them hasn't been good. They tend to be late sending stuff out. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed with this one.

    The fact that it's the same code that will be used when the game goes live is immaterial.  The pre-purchase program gives you access to all beta weekends and that includes the upcoming one in April.  They are obligated to get it to you before that.

    If you aren't interested in beta, then it doesn't matter.  If you are, then you should speak up.  For all you know, the game could release in June and there are only two beta weekends left.  You'll miss the one in April and you could miss the one in May, depending on how long it takes for the box to reach you and when the weekend is scheduled.

    But hey, it's your call.

    EDIT:  Looks like you might have it sorted.

    Pre-Purchased from officlal site. Can't wait. Lol they already have adverts up on mmorpg.com xD

  • DeaconXDeaconX Member UncommonPosts: 3,062

    Went back to try it one last time before leaving for work - everything worked just fine that time :)

    Looking forward to the GW2 forums as well...

    Yep got my key/registered, it's sitting lonely in my inbox - needs a "download game client for beta" e-mail to keep it company.

    Also LOL at the GW2 ads on MMORPG.com already, but much better than "random asian MMO #3347" with odd anime wierdness

  • Ethan623Ethan623 Member Posts: 53

    Just a guess but have you tried?, I do not know the full process as my order is still being processed.

    Yes I did that. :) I purchased, registered, and went to that link you gave and there is no listing of GW2 in my account. I have my Aion and GW listed. I'm thinking I'm missing a serial code to enter but haven't recieved one.

    The haters are really going to love those ads! NOT It's going to be an interesting wait for the launch and the rants will be flowing!

    In case anybody is having browswer issues, like me, I had to install google chrome. I had no problems pre-purchasing after that.

    Then I un-installed google chrome!
