All the info for the Sneak Preview Weekend Event.

Read and enjoy!

http://www.guildwars.com/events/inga...ek/default.php

Edit by Silly Warrior: RTSFirebat will be making a guide to the event, when the event occurs. This sticky will be replaced by his thread. So use this thread for all talk of the Sneak Preview weekend.

Added by RTS: I'm working on the guide as we speak, after all I want to be able to play in the preview event as well. So I'm getting all the template work put together now

Nice, we can help the Asura and Norns, and do 2 minigames .
And I count 7 dungeons we can enter, that should be enough for 3 days.

I have a buckt and a mop by my chair, because I can't stop drolling.

Probably the 'wait' part will be the unlocked areas, skills heroes... not items and XP.
They probably will 'banish' from our panels until GW:EN is online again.

of course, Anet could sweeten the pot and allow those who purchase the FULL game during the Sneak Peak to be able to use any picked up items until the official release (you know some crazy person will get Magma Gloves in 72 hours!)

This will do to things: For a week, those people showing off their new stuff will attract attention and drive sales for GWEN.

It will also allow Anet to pocket some money before the official release.

Think about it... we have to use existing characters, so they can't take experience and items from them, can they? Can we not pop to LA and drop some juicy tidbits into storage?

Seems that logistically there was no choice to let us keep stuff, after all it's not new characters that can be reset.

That being that... I can't freakin' wait...

I can't wait, i've been waiting and now this is makeing me even more excited, can't wait.

Since there is only so much we can explore (Fair Shiverpeaks) in the sneak peak weekend and i don't think that they will let us have the magma gloves that early.

Some places pre-release bonus packs are free. It basically just mean simply GW:EN pre-ordering.

i see they have a link to the amazon normal pack and not pre order pack. does this mean we dont have to order pre order pack just the normal pack and we will get the sneak peak.
does this count with amazon.co.uk aswell?
and will we get the exclusive items such as hourglass staff?3


ive just thought lookin at the doors...
we may not explore anywhere above tyria except the outposts. this means it doesnt effect explore title

You gotta watch what you are buying as alot of stores will allow a "preorder" purchase (placing a small ammount of money down to hold a copy when the game is released) but this is in no way the actual Pre Order Package that allows the early access and bonus items.

Really looking forward to this. Especially if manage to get a nice skin can finance all/some of my new armour buying by selling high

Possibility of buying armours in sneak peek? Only downside there is if we can't use it till EotN..... Naked chars :P

Norn Fighting and Boxing look like fun
