he means, pre-order gives you 1 day headstart, and nothing else
so pre-puchase is the most wise thing to do

I know it effects your headstart, I mean the word "order" and "purchase" are basically the same thing. I purchased it online so "pre-order" isn't even an option.

dude you don't understand.

when you pre-order you first pay when they ship the item
when you pre-purchase you pay upfront right away

I know what they mean, I just used the wrong one. I bought it from their website so pre-ordering wasn't even an option IIRC. You'd have to order through gamestop or something and use the key they give you to play 1 day early.

So we're all on the same page, great.

So ill see you all in the Beta? We should post the moment we get into one, what server and shit we're on so we can maybe meet up, play together, etc.

So i bought the game yesterday, finally. but it didnt go smoothly.

I go to the official page, enter all my info, them hit "Complete purchase" and it just stood there, with a lil "working" circle next to it as if it was doing something.

so i waited for like 5 minutes, nothing happened

So i waited like 15 mins checked my bank account, nothing there, so i went back and tried again, same exact thing happened. CHecked bank account again, still nothing.

So im like wtf, i check my e-mail, and i have two e-mails from Anet saying thanks for the purchase.

so i have a ticket in atm for like 24 hours now trying to return one of the two copies, kinda pissed, cause in the e-mail it says right there "non returnable, non refundable" so im like FUUUUUUUUUUUUu

Worst case scenario i found a friend that said he would buy it if Anet fucks me over.

All right, first Beta weekend event announced! April 27th.
