I've got my DS to tide me over 'til Friday, but otherwise, can't wait!

I have just been informed that the dutch pre-order is up :icon25:

This time around ill make it, no matter what. Seen the game when I was at bodomchild's place, and it looked great.

I can pre-order the game at a internet store(http://www.dynabyte.nl, for the dutchees), I just dont know if ill get the acces key before the release.
I e-mailed them about that, still waiting for a reply.

I've got a busy weekend coming up. I'll be playing, but probably not too much. A couple hours each night, EST.

Check out the avatars on my forum. You'll have to register to see them, though.

Nice dude, you got a zip file of all those avatars?

Heh, you finally got my PM from the 18th?

I'm now relying on Beyond Good & Evil to tide me over.

I need that key again if I'm going to play this coming weekend. Seg, is that key still good? I've still got the PM with the key in it, but I don't want to use it unless it's still up for grabs.

Post by **Mat Linnett** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 1:23 pm

Bump to see who's taking part this weekend...
I shall be logging in at the earliest possible opportunity.

Post by **Seg** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 4:49 pm

Far as i know, nobody used the key. I passed it to Memphis also. So, you two can fight over it...

I'll be playing again this weekend.

I was using a Gamespy key for the last weekend, and now it doesn't work. What's up with that?

Post by **Mat Linnett** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 5:31 pm

The Gamespy keys were only good for one weekend. Now, your only chance to play is to get someone who has pre-ordered to give you their "Friend" key, or to buy the pre-order yourself.

I was hoping they'd open it an hour early after the hour delay last time. No luck

About an hour more to go then.

edit: I started the client early to cache the new content (it's about 24 MB worth).

edit2: An early Fansite Friday for this month's BEW. Looks promising to say the least.

Post by **Mat Linnett** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 7:19 am

Heh, same here.
Got the client running in the background right now.

Edit:
Oh wow, that ability to change secondary class after Ascension kicks arse.
Gotta love the customisation options in GW

Honestly, we're not giving an minute or even an hour for the BWE's to start. We'll get things moving shortly, but please don't start on about being "late" when we haven't set a time!

I know, positively maddening, isn't it?

Aye, but:
