So, anyone pre-order the collector's edition? What do you like or hate about it? What I really liked about it was the extra fly time. Once I found out that flight is limited time-wise when not in the abyss, the extra flight time was the deciding factor. This is my first preorder for a MMO. I really like how the game is turning out, especially with patch 1.5. |

Many people likes the extra flight time. But dont be fooled like alot of people have been. So its a 10 sec difference. Most people thought it was 30+40 sec. but its only +10 sec. Not alot, but still makes a difference. |

I didn't preorder the CE, but I did the standard. I like the CE, and I'm definitly upgrading it via NCsoft Store. Mainly because of the free lvl 30 wings, extra flight time, and that necklace. I like to have a box of my games, and GamStop didn't have anymore CE preorders left. I like having a box mainly because NCsoft likes to fuck with people with out them. I'm still waiting for my old GW account Password and Username. I knew I should've kept those 4 year old emails >.>. Playing: Guild Wars and Exteel |

Also you save 800k kinah per toon, because you don't have to buy the level 30 ones.  |

I just went to gamestop to downgrade my preorder of the collectors edition to the regular edition. I took a look at some of the items that I would be getting a figured, it wasn't worth the extra 20$. As far as the in-game items go, you get an extra 10 sec of flight time (regular lvl 30 wings give u +30 flight and the CE item gives u +40), which I can live without. The earrings that give you some extra hp and mp was cool but again, I can live without it. Only 1 dye is lame. I believe that was all the in-game items. I figured I can go without them. If they were to significantly improve my stats, then I'd consider it. The box also comes with an action figure (which I dont give a sh** about), a soundtrack (I like the music, if I want the files I'm sure I can find it for download), and a poster (I dont put posters on the walls in my room). The regular edition comes in a cool steel case, that attracted me more than anything from the CE edition lol. Anyway I've got it for preorder but hopefull ill win MMORPG's Aion giveaway contest and win a copy instead of having to buy anything lol. |

Originally posted by MrPhire I had the same problem with gamestop. I'm happy to hear I can upgrade through the site though. I'll wait... Gamestop said they might have a couple extras on release day. I'll check when I pickup the box. I also enjoy having the box and disk... UO, DAoC, FFXI, GW, WoW, LOtRO, WAR... <UO is still my favorite... > |

Good point! I didn't know that. However, I still think 10 seconds can give a definite edge, so I'm OK(even if a bit bummed lol).

Agreed! Especially with one's first toon, things can be real tight. :D |

Yeah. When your looking at your Master Account go to Store. Then to Aion. Then there should be 3 options. Standard, CE, and CE upgrade. CE upgrade is 10 bucks more.
@some other doods The CE edition is only 10$, you save 800k and 20% more xp. Its worth 10 dollars. Hell I payed 40 or 50 bucks for my Fallout 3 add-ons. They weren't all worth it. Only thing I have an issue with the upgrade is that I get no poster. I like posters. Posters are nice. I currently have my MW2 preorder poster on my door, a simpsons poster over the headboard of my bed, a Katy Perry *come on she's hot.* poster over my sidewall of my bed, a Fallout 3 poster over my TV, and I've got a collection of older ones.

Both work. The box has some cooler features, such as the doll and artwork and the poster and the other stuff. The CE online just gives you ingame items. Playing: Guild Wars and Exteel |

getting it from gamestop it prolly is 69 99 because they need personal profit too not just Selling the exact thing online is selling Buyng from stores = more expensive |

Pre ordered from best buy and paid the $5 + tax but there was no CE there, also the pre order box has 2 barcodes in the back $49 and ce $69 so when I'll go there on sept. 22nd will ask if I can get the 69 one. Also the pre order box states return to the store you bought it on sept. 1st and I went today they told me come back on 22nd. |
