...however...

Collector's Editions are always a giant freaking waste of money.  Hello, harsh really calling: the main event is the game, and not all the extra crap or two days headstart in the world will make up for paying $30 more.

I usually think of Collector's Editions are more of a charity thing.  Thanks for making this game, I really like this game, here's $30 more just because I likes ya.  Oh, you're giving me some extra stuff?  How nice.

Heh, I like that sentiment, giving Mythic a tip.   ...I tip waitresses, hairstylists, cabbies, masseuses, and that bum I paid to beat up my friend that puked in my jeep so why not a game developer? If they weren't bankrolled by the Evil Entity That Eats Quality And Craps Out Games that is EA  I'd be all for it, with bells on.

I'm glad that I could get my hands on a CE last week, but not because of the head start (shops here are lazy, so they don't hand out the keys), but because of the artbook that comes with it. Considering that it has 228 pages, it's on par with the existing three artbooks of Warhammer/Warhammer 40K. I really like those books, even though they did cost me around € 30,- each. So I really don't mind paying € 70,- instead of € 45,-, because I would have payed it anyway, just for the artbook. Only this way I also get some nice ingame goodies :)

I wish I would of gotten the ce. I preordered the se and ebgames was out of codes so I preordered and get none of the head start or the items so I have to wait till thursday when if I would of gotten the ce I could be on right now playing.

The other day when the Herald announced that Gamestop had found more CE's I was one of the people who bought it.  Then a little voice in my head started telling me that I was being obsessive compulsive and not using my brains.  I wound up cancelling my order about an hour later.

ZERO regrets.

We found out on Saturday that the server my guild had chosen wasn't even going to be in the CE headstart.  After some open discussion, the guild decided to stay with our chosen server and the CE people would roll up Destro alts on the CE servers.  Then we'd all start playing together on Order starting tomorrow.

One of the reasons for this was that I anticipated many CE players would belong to preestablished guilds.  So however populated the servers might get during Sunday and Monday, they'd be absolutely slammed come Tuesday when these people's buddies all join them on the CE servers.  What's more, the CE servers would have a higher concentration of already guilded players than the SE servers will have.  So SE is a good choice for our guild to be on as we're a relatively small guild that wants to grow.

So far, everything is going exactly as anticipated.  If I hadn't cancelled my CE it would have wound up costing me $50 after shipping for a few more gew-gaws and 2 days of extra play with a character that wouldn't ever be more than an alt.  So yeah, I'm not unhappy at all.

i loved getting in a day early.  no regrests here, plus i reserved a lot of names that were probably be gone if i had to download/play tonight.

i'm really enjoying this game, such a nice pace and different from WoW enough to keep me playing.  for the 1st time in a long time i didn't want to stop playing last night.

The CE was more than just a box..

You had the closed beta tests, and all of the open beta tests..  Hell, playing a game for a month (at least to test for longer than everyone else) would be worth the 30 bucks..

But then you get the figurine.. and even if you aren't a huge WAR fan.. that's still pretty cool, as well as the art work, and the ability to start 2 days earlier..

So, yeah, I regret it. 

Yea I forgot about the closed beta bonus to CE

Aye, i'm quite happy buying the CE , because of the artbook the extra quest and the heads ..
All good :D
