Here is some good info a user posted after having a discussion with a GM about the pre-order CD issues.

Dear Lawrence,

I apologize once again for the confusion. To clarify the preorder is for the Open Beta. We cannot release the exact start date for Open Beta, only tell you that it will be soon. The guarantee is that you will be let into the world before all the players who did not pre-order but rather signed up via our site. Players who did not pre-order may be forced to wait, as all the pre-orders are let in.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

GM Silver
