After all talk, research, beta weekend I finally decided to buy GW2 for me and my wife. So I took the credit card and went to famous pre-purchase page just to realize that my country Croatia are somehow banned from purchasing their product. Googled on web, yes, there is countless cases, it's really impossible. Only one distributor is listed for my country and they are left without pathetic quantity of GW2 codes in first few days.
I don't know, got scared a little, maybe Berlin wall is up again, so I went to the different MMO site and tried to pre-purchase their product, worked fine, sub working fine and CS worked fine, good, everything working as it should.
But my GW2 adventure ends here, if I cant participate from day one of the new MMO, I will not participate at all. Especially with the modern theme-park MMO-s.
Good luck to you all, hope your game will not die after three months.

Wow dude, that REALLY sucks... No excuse for that. Croatia is a great country, why the hell aren't they selling to Croatians? Does this happen regularly with other companies?
As for you not playing, it's your call. To me, not being able to play on the first day is a slightly silly reason not to play.
Sucks to be you.
Don't worry it will last for years, atleast for me because I will never play a stat grind treadmill game again.
uhm....
just use amazon?
But it sucks big time that you where not able to buy it from their site tho. Hmmm....
And i can confirm, Berlin Wall is still down

I love zones filled up with peoples, lots of possibilities, fresh game lot's of noobs, it's not silly reason at all.

GW2 will always have people in the zones because when they add new content it will no be just at level 80 it can be any level, hell the first content patch could add new DE to the starter zones.
Tried everything, country is listed but not working. Lot's of peoples have same issue.
I'm not extra happy with GW2 game design, you got it right, but I love art design. Game is B2P so best way is to participate from the start, especially for me. At this point, I'm kind of insulted by Anet, need little time to consolidate , maybe I will think over on xmas.

There's no need to be hostile. I wish you nothing but fun in the game you were able to sign up to without issues but this wasn't place to take out your grievance.
So you telling me that I should wait for another Anet charity or permission to buy from them?!

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
I am saying that getting in on day 1 does not matter at all because the way the game is designed zones won't be empty.
We are talking about digital version from the start, it's never too late man.

PayPal failed either.

*waves back* Amazon had issue with pre-purchase codes, so I wanted to skip this mess.

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
Anet answer is as always 'Please contact support ', other links are from Croatian forums, no worry I'm not alone.
---
"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
yep, the same issue I had when I was buying the game... ANet just told me to use a different country (which is still in europe) to do the purchase and then just proceed regularly and it worked.
Try doing that and see how it goes?

Not rude at all, you really think that I need go through slow PITA support, waste few days just to buy a product?!

I know... Serbia is left out of pre-purchases too. Why dont you just do like i did for my sister and two other friends? Go and buy a pre-order, at least here we got plenty of those. Then just come at the day of release and swap a pre-order box for a retail one and problem solved :O
Unless, they are even out of those. I know, my friends from Croatia said that Algoritam is awfull sometimes.
EDIT: Yes i know, you wont have a 3 day headstart, but excluding reserving names, i cant see that as a big problem. And you have more naming options anyway
Main MMO at the moment: Guild Wars 2
Waiting for: Pathfinder Online
