yep shame im working this weekend lol. i didnt even know the boxed edition from tesco came with head start, in fact I dont think it did. I'm not sure if there is anything they do to reserve it but now I dont know which account to use or if to say balls to it and use them both....there is no CC linked to anything since it's a F2P game.

anybody who has ordered from tesco entertainment check your emails! i ordered the normal retail version but i just recieved a 3 day headstart code!!!
LOL jesus christ, I ended up buying from ANet last night as I was unsure Tesco copy would arrive on time! Oh what a balls up!
If anyone wants to get in for the head start and save themselves a tenner, i'll sell them the code (and post the physical copy when it arrives) for £40!
Yeah, but after the early access is over the characters on that account will be gone? If I am reading your post right and the early access isn't on your main account.
If that is the case the head start is a bit of a waste, unless you want just to check out some different classes.
Of course I might be reading your post wrong, and I'm just confused
That depends if they send out another code after early/pre order access has finished? or if your accounts are setup as of now....
in past MMO's you get seperate codes but at the same time there is options to add another code in your account which for GW2 atm there isnt... so yeah im confused too lol.

So, I'm almost certainly rolling a Norn Warri'hief'anger... Hmmm
Yup same for my missus .. heads gonna roll
, could still be a error by Tesco, I.E they mean 1 day head start but typo to say 3.
Missus ordered hers about a month ago now i think.
I started reading about the game today and I got really excited too!

Might try and set the Guild Wars 2 Facebook account to be on my alerts list, then when the predictable 'THE SERVERS ARE LIVE!' message goes up my phone will give me a nice timely wake up call.
Just logged on to pass on the good news as well
woop woop!
It truly was an OMG moment - that was one sweet deal!
Those with the Tesco codes are you certain they are pre-purchase codes and not pre-order codes?
Pre-purchase codes will grant you access tomorrow morning and pre-order codes will grant you access Monday morning.
I hope for your sakes they are pre-purchase codes however until I hear you can login tomorrow morning I seriously doubt it. This is because pre-purchase boxes would have cost Tesco more to buy and retail, however they are selling them at pre-order prices. Today is when pre-order codes are sent out from all retailers which is my line of thinking as to why I assume they are pre-order codes.

The email just says:
"Dear Customer,
Thank you for your order of Guild Wars 2.
As part of your purchase we have included your 3 day headstart code which you can find below:"
Surely to have a 3 day headstart you would have to be able to play tomorrow?
They have made a mistake somewhere, I just hope it was with the original pricing and advertisement of the product for your sakes. Like I said Ill believe it when I see it, however that email sounds promising!
Ill be interested to hear how you Tesco guys get on in the morning, so keep us informed!
it states headstart 3 day early access code. but I got one email with a pre order code (1day) and one email with a 3 day code.... they were worded very differently....
"pre orders contain 24h early access here is your code..." this was from a CS advisor...
the other one "as part of your purchase we have included your 3 day headstart code which you can find below"....
That sounds more promising actually! Grats if you guys get in in the morning!
yeah i wont be able to tell though stupid 12 hour shifts at work! lol.
upto 3 hours early i thought so yeah 5-8 potentially.
No idea the official time was 8AM, but then they put out a message saying it COULD be up 3 hours earlier. Although there is no time for how early they put it up, it could be up at 5am or maybe could be 6/7 we have no idea.
