I am nerdraging all over the place.

I've sent, like, seven or so e-mails and made a phone call to Gamestop, but of course, they handed out all their CE keys to non-CE people.

I sent an e-mail to Mythic now, as well, and I'll be calling Gamestop again.

This is friggin' unacceptable, and it's dumb. They've never screwed up on a preorder like this for me, but wow.

But that Captain's salami tray was tight, yo. You plump for the roast pork loin, dogg?

This happened to me. I called several times, and they told me it was a privalige not a right to get the preorder bonus, so I emailed Mythic and they said this:

So I wrote back to GameStop and included the Mythic email stating that in fact I should get the preorder bonus.

Hello,


I was told by Mythic Entertainment to contact you here regarding my
Collectors Edition Pre Order Keys. I went in to the shop to collect my
Preorder box and the employee told me they only had one kind. It turns
out it was the SE preorder. After that I called your customer support
and they told me the preorder was a free bonus provided by Gamestop and
that I was only entitled to it while they remained in stock. I then
contacted Mythic, and as you can see what I was told by your customer
support is in error.  Mythic told me to send an email to this address
and that you would fix the problem.


Thank you,

Finally here is their reply:

Thank you for contacting us at GameStop.com.

We apologize that you did not receive the bonus item with your
pre-order/reserve.

That being said we would like to attempt to get this bonus to you. 
Please provide your order number if this was pre-ordered at our online
store. 

Otherwise we will need your reserve transaction information.

Date the reservation was placed:

receipt, after the date, it will be in this format 00000/00-000): -

Also, we will need your physical shipping address if we are able to mail
something out to you.

Sincerely,

About 4 days after providing the information needed, they email me my CE codes.

I hope this helps you in some way.

They said it would take 3 to 5 business days for them to get back to me, the guy said he was submitting me to the 'beta team' or whatever. If I don't hear back with a key from Friday, I'm calling again.

We'll see what happens.

I bought the game from EA Store last Friday, and I haven't received my key yet either =/  Supposedly there's a 3-10 day window from them, but I think I'm going to e-mail them tomorrow.

Yeah, I waited a month on the EA Store and eventually submitted a ticket on their website, which was responded to with an annoying "it will be out to you before the preorder beta starts" to which I responded, "the beta has already started."  They never responded to that.  I eventually called their corporate office and talked to some EA Store rep who forwarded the complaint to their boss, and eventually got the keys that way.

Thanks for the info.

Having an open beta key doesn't get you into the current preview beta, though, does it?

The preview weekend's actually over, so it doesn't really matter now. :)  I think some of the regular preorders were given preview weekend access, though, yeah.

Finally got my keys. I got an e-mail back from Gamestop today saying they have tried to e-mail me my code 5 times, and to call and get the keys.

So I called them, and it turns out they were trying to e-mail me at nonentty instead of nonentity.

MY E-MAIL ADDRESS DOES HAVE THE WORD TIT IN IT

Anyways - got the keys, plugged them in. We're all good.

Well Gamestop gave me the wrong codes. I did not think it would matter, but yesterday I find out that CE gets to play 2 days earlier then SE.

Naturally all the Gamestops near me are out of pre-order boxes. CE or otherwise.

Anyway a request. Does anyone here with a CE pre-order enabled account want to trade me for my lowly SE pre-order account.

Of course everyone wants to play sooner rather then later. But I'm hoping someone has a CE enabled account but will be busy, out of town, or just unable to play for the first few days of the headstart.

Noteworthy: CE Headstart is Sunday - SE  is Tuesday - Main launch Thursday. If you pre-ordered either version from Gamestop you might have the CE codes. Just look at the card with the codes. At the top if it says "Thank you for pre-ordering Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Collectors Edition" You have the CE codes.

It was intentional.

I don't remember why.

I think I just liked the name and wanted to steal it.
