Cause aparently the US and UK branches of Game/EB don't aparently retail the same items (or even sodding talk) but some of us are stuck with having to sort out other arrangements; I've been told my pre-order through GameStation is going to be arriving next-tuesday.

Fat lot of good it'll do then, so ditto to what RPG said.
Ya'll get more cute pictures of Oni Raven in her underwear again

heh, on the plus side; GameStation were able to snag me an EB one with that cool bow toy heh ... alright so that sounds weak but would be cool to have something to take to the local weapon merchant, and say 'it needs to be a working version of this!'

Well if you plan on creating a warrior then that can be a good thing. However I feel Rangers really shine in that game (pin down + a nice power shot = ownage)

Personally I found my Mesmer / Necromancer was a very amazing character, however I was thinking of changing to a Mesmer / Ranger.

simply because I wouldn't mind the use of some bows and to get an animal partner, but probably got a while to decide anyways.

If you're mom won't let you preorder it, why are you asking for it here? 11's far too young to play an MMORPG anyways IMHO.

Lol, I'm having to go somewhere near Gamestop, so I'll be either getting it in 1/2 and hour or at 6. Won't be home till 6:30 or so; so either way you won't be invited till then.

Neither can I. I'm going to stay as my ranger/warrior so I have use of teh Pick Axe thing I get when the game comes out. If only Eb wasn't so far, then I would've gotten a bow. Also I want a killer pet.

I read up and those pets are apparently a pain in the ass - you get the -5% health penalty if your pet dies, and you cant see your pet's hp bar and they tend to wander off.

Ive been reading lots of fan sites...Im addicted to a game Im not even playing yet

Still, the pets help you in combat, it's a risk I'll take, and if I have a monk in my party, well let's just say if they don't heal me, EVERYONE will pay.

Hey buddies! I'll be on this weekend also, what class should I be? My main will be Necro, but secondary? I was thinking maybe Elementalist.. or Monk.. Maybe some sort of caster for double the caster power.

I have not preorder it, but I did play the client version they gave out and read some more about it and since it is going to be a Free MMORPG I might just get it.

Be a necro/monk, so odd it would work, being a master of death and life, it's like a certain cardgame...

So........... Apparently, today, i learned you get a package when you preorder. Well, i go and "Bitch" to the people i bought it from. They said, "We can give you the package next week, as we we're out of stock."

I'm kinda pissed. Well, more like very pissed.

Did you buy it at a gamestore (eB or Gstop) or at Best Buy or target, because if you go to Target and Best Buy they won't bother to remember that they should've given you a package.

Gamestop.

The reason is, because i bought it at a new GameStop, which is in a backwater town with no stock yet...

So, i'll probably go pay 10$ when i go into saltlake tonight.

This is just the preview edition for this one. But when it does come out, no teh Monthly Fee, just the main game payment, and TADA, you can play to your liking.

Just about level 4 (less then 4 battles away) with my new char, need to sleep (if I keep going like this, i'll be level 15 by the morn, which is too much )

got to Level 9, some sweet new stuff and also reached Lion Arch.
so i'm pretty happy with myself. also managed to make a good few new aquaintances which is always fun.

should really think about expanding my clan soon
