[QUOTE="Pillars of Hercules, post: 153328, member: 577"] [b]How are pre-orders going to be handled?[/b] Any of you know how pre-orders will be handled? I've known some games where the pre-order process was poorly conceived and you would've (note correct use - not "would of") been better off just going down to your local store on release day. This is NOT to say I have any evidence that NWN will do a bad job with pre-orders, but I'd like to know how they will be processed so that I could make an informed choice. Here's an example: A certain wargame that was an awesome game I still play advertised for pre-orders about 30 days before going gold. However, the pre-orders weren't given priority, they just put your name and address on a "slip of paper" and put it in a pile. Well, they gave the pile to the distributor as is - meaning that the first folks to pre-order were on the BOTTOM of that pile and actually received the game after joe blows who pre-ordered one day before the game went gold.
