As long as it says NA you're good to go for North America:
Guild Wars 2: Digital Edition (NA)

I think their servers are setup so that if your IP address is from another country then their search results only show games available for your region.  I tried searching for the EU version but nothing came up on my end.  Makes sense to avoid purchasing the wrong version.

So whoever asked about buying a copy for a buddy overseas, unfortunately they will have to make the purchase on their end to get the region that's tied to them.  Unless maybe if you go to the trouble of contacting the merchant and making a special request they might be able to help with that.

Just to clarify a few things, this emails you one code that allows you to create an account with entry in the next BWE and access to the full game? or do you get a seperate code for the full game later on? Is anything shiped to the address you give? how fast are you emailed any codes?

A lot of questions I know but its hard to find solid information on buying a digital edition from a 3rd party site.... Thanks in advance.

Well I just ordered and my email had no key in it. Under the Activation Keys section it was blank, so I just logged a ticket with support. So far I am not impressed. I just hope they can fix this fast

So, this does count as a pre-purchase and if I did the digital deluxe I would get the 3-day early access and access to the final beta weekend?

From the looks of it they only had a limited number of keys.

I'm following the thread over at the deal forums and someone posted:

GMG just replied to my email they ran out of keys.

They will initiate a refund to those people that ordered that didn't get a Key.

I was thinking of buying a second acct, but oh well.  You snooze, you loose.

Wow that sucks, I imagine they're not getting anymore keys anytime soon if they're offering refunds...

[Manoa]

Wait, didn't ANet tweet awhile back that authorized pre-purchase retailers couldn't run out of pre-purchase keys?

Wow, GMG has completely yanked GW2 off their website.  Links no longer work and you can't even search for it on their website anymore.  Suck.

Yep. . . sadly confirmed. . .

It's still being advertised on their main page, but when you click on it it redirects you to a 404 page

Another update. . .

EU players might still be able to get the deal, but I will need someone else to confirm it for me

Of course this would happen a week after i preorder

[Vapor]

Spreading the word on this one, a couple of friends have already bought just bc of the sale.

[Diecast]

It seems like they're just taking it down until they get more keys, hopefully. It will probably be our luck that they don't put it back up until the 25% expires.

Just got an email from newegg. Boxed copies are on sale for $48 with promo code 'EMCYTZT1867'.

This probably isn't all too special or relevant, but I thought it was worth sharing.

The promotion can be found halfway down this page.

Pre-orders only get the one day head start. You'd have to decide if 2 days is worth $15.
