Fair enough pal, it's understandable that since you've been left out in the cold before you don't want to be so again.

Personally I've had more than enough of headstarts & the traumas they cause. I can't remember the last time I actually had pleasure out of one, it's just a laggy mess & a mob campfest usually. I'll still be looking forward to release, just hopefully control my urge to power through the content :)

Remember that in this case though they are controlling the number of people being let into the early start - in contrast to the usual, "everyone can log-in at the same time" approach. Hopefully this will make it better.
 
With the pre-order key, isn't it possible that people could try the game for free: i.e. preorder the game, obtain pre-order key, cancel pre-order, play head start, decide whether they like the game, purchase game or dont purchase game ...... ?

Or am I missing something

I think you pay £5 when you pre-order and then the rest when it is released. So no, you wouldn't be able to get into the headstart for free.

I believe so since there is a grace period shortly after release before you have to put in your retail key.

Why not just try out the game during open beta?

Might not be an "open beta" as such for this. Just more invites to beta weekends.

There will NEVER be a open beta, in September they will have a series of weekends where people are invited to play, it may even go as far as being 3 weekends of open beta, but never a proper open beta like other games have ... they say its because there is such a high demand ..I say its because they worried about there product.

And I think they have a very good reason to be worried .. but hey you never know....
 
After watching all the videos for Guild Wars 2 I think I will be playing that instead of this as it does really just look like a wow clone in the star wars universe. But, I haven't played it yet I have only watched the hour long video of someone playing it. And it looked like wow.
