So, just finished pre-purchasing Guild Wars 2 on day one.  Took awhile for my order to go through and was even tougher getting registration to work.  Obviously, this was due to an enormous amount of others doing the same.

So, my question is:  how many people have pre-purchased so far?

Lets do this like the 10,000 or Guild Wars 2 thread, a tally of total pre-purchases.

Start with the number from 1, so on followed by:  "DE" for Digital Edition, "DDE" for Digital Deluxe Edition, and "CE" for Collector's Edition.  And of course, you can include any silliness  you deem worthy :P

I'll start =^-^=

1 - DE

Digital Deluxe Edition.

I love the game and want to support it, and I think the in-game things will be both cool and helpful, but the physical items in the Collector's Edition were underwhelming and don't excite me at all.

I like having some form of merchandise in my hand so I am heading to Gamestop first thing when I wake up to pre-purchase.

I like having a physical copy too, but i'm ordering it from Gamestop website, too lazy to actually go there on my day off from work ;) 

got the DDE, i actually wanted the CE but my local eb games is selling it for 198, whilst i got it online for 77, heh no brainer DDE it is for me, not gonna gamble 198 lol.

I just got the DE. My second pre-purchase is contingent on the number of character slots that come with the game. When that info becomes available, if I decide the number is acceptable, I'll probably make the second Pre-purchase a DDE.

It's not every day that my partner can wake me up and I come FLYING out of bed for the sole purpose of spending money.  It's after 4am here and now I have to figure out how to fall back asleep.  LOL  I got the DE x 2, one for me, one for my partner.

Bought 1 Digital CE online directly @buy.guildwars2.com and one box CE copy for my GF at the local Gamestop. Took an extra break from work to do this. I was surprised they only had 1 Copy... dont know if they already sold all others or only got 1, but its mine!

Spent 150€ @gamestop and 75€ @buy.guildwars2.com.

Got my DE prepurchased :) now just to wait :)))

Just got 2 DEs for my gf & I. Was a headache getting that order form to work, but I'm glad I got the game.

This is one of the few games I've been this excited to spend money on in probably the last 10 years. Can't wait!

Same here.  It's great to feel this kind of enthusiasm for a game again - haven't felt it since WoW came out. 

I just pre-purchased the DE version, no problems whatsoever. I will be very interested in seeing how many pre's they sold when it's all said and done.

Well i got mine now CE:)

With wallpaper looks better:)

I'll wait for retailers to get it,  theres not a cat in hells chancel I'm paying £49.99 for a standard edition or £69.99 for a digi deluxe edition.

I was gonna buy the CE but made a deal with the mrs so I could buy Skyrim (budgets ftl).  Ended up buying the Digital Deluxe (and Skyrim :D) 2 for the price of one.

Went with the digital edition this morning.

Bought the digital standard version, didn't see a reason to spend $20 for 1 time use items :P.

i actually thought about it and tried to pre-order but i guess there was too much traffic on the site at the time. It worked in my favor though since after thinking about it, I've decided to hold off till atleast NDA is dropped and i see what kind of product I'm really getting and whether or not this game really isn't p2w based on items in their cash shop.
