Contents List: GW:EN Prerelease Bonus Pack
Players have asked us for information about the Prerelease Bonus Pack for Guild Wars: Eye of the North. We are happy to provide the list of contents, which will apply to purchases made through the Guild Wars In-Game Store as well as those made through a retail store:
Access
Access is provided to the following:
- The Guild Wars: Eye of the North Sneak Peek Weekend (details to follow)
- 10-hour/14-day trial access to all three Guild Wars campaigns
In-Game Items
Each player who purchases a Prerelease Bonus Pack will receive the following special items:
- The Glacial Blade
- The Hourglass Staff
- The Darksteel Longbow
Notes
- A Prerelease Bonus Pack Access Key cannot be used to create a new Guild Wars account.
- The special items associated with the Prerelease Bonus Pack can be activated by typing /bonus into the chat window once the player enters the game. The items are available immediately upon purchase of the Prerelease Bonus Pack.
- Trials do not stack.
- The retail version of the Prerelease Bonus Pack will be provided on a DVD. No DVD is required for purchases made through in the Guild Wars In-Game Store.
- The cost of the Prerelease Bonus Pack will be deducted from the cost of the game when both are purchased in the in-game or PlayNC stores. Individual retailers set their own policies about whether the PBP is credited to the game's purchase price.
- Purchasing the GW:EN Prerelease Bonus Pack through the in-game store does not mean that you are placing a "preorder" that then commits you to purchasing the expansion pack itself. You will not automatically be billed for GW:EN when it becomes available. You will need to go back into the In-Game or PlayNC Store and purchase GW:EN separately, because GW:EN and the Prerelease Bonus Pack are actually two different products.
- Purchase of the Prerelease Bonus Pack is separate from the purchase of GW:EN. You may purchase either or both through the in-game store, and purchase of the Prerelease Bonus Pack does not obligate you to purchase the expansion pack through the in-game store.
- The Prerelease Bonus Pack will be available in the in-game store until the release of Guild Wars: Eye of the North, that is, through August 31, 2007.
- You may purchase Guild Wars: Eye of the North as of August 31, 2007 through the In-Game Store or your favorite retail store.
- Amended and updated as of 30 July 2007.
