Pick up your full copy today. Read for Details.

I'm a manager for GameStop and just wanted to let everyone know that some areas received NFOs (Next Flight Over) for this game. Call your local GameStop and see if they were able to get in on this. The Raleigh area got about 200 so you might get lucky and have the full version at launch tonight. Hop to see you all soon.

Only Preorder keys have access to night. The retail keys will be activated on the 28th.

Right, you can't enter retail keys until tomorrow night.

From my understanding, the game goes completely live tonight, however, those with the access keys will be able to join. With the game not being street dated, I assume that anyone with the full version should be able to play. I can't get anyone from Arena to answer my e-mails so I'm not 100%.

You have received your copy of the game early. The servers will be open for preorder customers starting 12:01am Seattle time Wednesday, and for other customers from 12:01am Seattle time Thursday.

Midnight tonight is the early access period, only those with pre-orders can play. Those who bought the game will be able to start midnight tomorrow, when the servers allow access with the retail keys.

I have my copy already, and the retail key doesn't work. Yes, I knew it wouldn't, but I figured I'd punch it in anyway, just so I could say that I'd tried it.

anyone know if best buy got theirs in?

My retail key worked. Unfortunatly I used the retail key to create the account instead of my preorder key, and I don't think there will be a way for me to add my preorder key onto my account until they let everyone else in on the 28th. There's no way to access the account screen ingame unless you have a character made already.

I would run out and pick up a preorder if I were you, you can add in more preorder keys now.

I called all Gamestops within 20 miles of my house here in Tampa and St. pete. None of them have it yet. They are all getting them first thing in the am befor opening.

I have the preorder key, I just have no way of entering it anywhere. I could create a new account and play tonight, but that account would die in 48 hours since I already used my retail key on the first account. I'm trying to get in contact with game support, hopefully they can add my key manually or tell me what I'm doing wrong.

If you have characters already, you can enter all your keys. If you don't you'll have to wait until you can start the game itself (Which means if you entered your pre-order key first you can start tonight, if you entered retail key - I'm sorry )

The one near me at least wont be giving it out even if they have it. They stick strickly with the release date.

Best(im sorry, I meant worst) Buy "may" get the game thursday

What's the point in entering more than one pre-order key for one account?

Hey digital where do you work?? I'm in the raleigh area as well.

Edit: ^^^ you can get more than one pre order item (if you got the preorders from different stores eg. BB and EB or Target and GS)

You can get more than one of the bonus preorder items if you have the preorder boxes from more than 1 store.

Ok, I'm a little confused. I just pre-ordered this game and it came with the pre-order key, poster, CD with extra stuff, etc.

Will I be able to play this game on midnight, the 27th? Which would technically be tonight since I'll still be up.

yes
