I just remember reading that there will be a feb beta and that the game should be out in late feb. If they pospone it out til after the first of march, they will probably announce a march beta...

This is what is going to happen. It will come ou a certain day and you go at midnight to get it right? So then you go get it and it isint there, then the employees will say "oh it doesnt come out until a later date" That is what makes me mad!

I got Halo 2 at midnight, it was fun, however some people learned the hard way that you shouldn't make a fire in a plastic trash-can, hehe

Well, I'll add my 2 cents to the confusion... Amazon.com lists a March 1, 2005 ship date... for whatever that's worth...

I got bored so I decided to check around at some of my favorite stores:
best buy- 2/1/05 for the deluxe version
2/5/05 for the regular version
(note, probably programmed by idiots)
circuit city- what is guild wars?
eb games- preorder ships 2/1/05
game ships on 4/18/05
(i think this genious beats out even the best buy programmer)
comp usa- "coming soon"
game spot- 4/18/05
cant think of any others to add to the list

I just wanted to clarify something in the last post. I have had my pre-order cd and keys for about a month. The 2/1/05 pre-order (pchb) from EB is the hint book. They said they have a date of 4/19/05, which EB usually has the game (physically) one day after the release date. Hopefully, if this date is correct, it will be posted that we will have Beta events for not only February, but March and April as well.... If that is any consolation. I will be checking with a friend of mine (who works for a distributor) if he has any further knowlrdge on this.

I need help! I'm additced to this game like Cosmo Kramer on Kenny Roger's Chicken. It's not even out of beta and I check this message board every day. I check the client every day to see if it will let me in (not once but twice).
Indagatrix: "You've got a little problem."
Asya: "Oh, I've got a big problem, Inda!"
Asya: "Stay away from the Guild Wars! - Mess you up!"

Hey! Hey! You want some GW?? Hey, you want some GW? I got the pure stuff, no lag or anything. All the rare drops you can pick-up and Prince Rurik's head on a pike out back. 500 gold. Real cheap! Good stuff.

lol, you have to be on a shady corner, with a big trench coat to do that
I got the preorder thing at Best Buy, so I hope those idiots are right, and the game is out 2/1/05, then I can save the $10 from getting the preorder too

i did the best buy thing too. i think you need to have the receipt to get the 10 off

yeah, I was wondering, is my copy secured there since I got the 'preorder' package?

it seems really shady. if i were best buy however, i would order at least as many copies of the game per store as preorders were purchased from each store. in other words, each store would have enough copies of GW to go around to the garunteed people

Yes, in theory, if you pre-order from store X, then store X will have Y copies of the game on the 1st day of retail, where Y = Number of Pre-orders + some random number of other copies. I rarely pre-order so I'm not sure if this is true in practice... I do know the last game I preorder from a store, I simply grabbed a box off the shelf and showed my receipt for the pre-order discount (there wasn't a box in the back with my name on it as far as I'm aware).

I hardly ever preorder, except for GW and Halo2, I haven't preordered anything since the original Warcraft 3, and I don't recall how it works, I hope one of those Y copies is mine
