Here is the physical version that I bought. I have downloaded, played stress tests and will have headstart access. I also get the heros band. They sent me a code the day after I pre-ordered the game and been in stress tests ever since. I think your info is a bit wrong.

Yea. I wouldn't expect that they have any obligation to do it, but it's worth a try. The way I look at it, neither ArenaNet, nor GamesRocket has a real blame for it. The only reason I suggest to ask ANet for help is that they might be able to do something. You might be right that there's some legal reason that will prevent them from doing it, but I think you're making an assumption. ANet claims that "when you buy a EU copy, you support your EU data center". Whether there's some regional market deal at play, who knows. I personally think they just struck up distribution deal in various countries, and nothing more than that. Some retailers like GMG sell both.
But before we crap all over GamesRocket for "mislabeling" their product and being misleading, I'd like to point out that most other retailer also don't label the regional restrictions. Let's look at a few English ones:
Guild Wars 2 Standard Edition Digital US", but then below in the description says "Guild Wars 2 Deluxe Edition Digital EU includes" : PASS? FAIL?
This isn't the regulated region locked DVD market that has an established standard where consumers should know about and where retailer know to post that information. I think online retailer should be clearer, yea. I don't know who's to blame, but I don't think anyone is legally at fault here, so we're left with one stranded customer that kinda feels screwed. I think he's ultimately to blame for his mistake.
On the flip side, is it reasonable to expect every buyer to go to the official website to learn about the region lock? Not really. So, if anyone could do anything, since the retailer already declined a refund, the only place to ask for help is ANet. Whether it will work, I don't know. But what I was suggesting is to ASK for help rather than merely ask the question whether he'll be able to play with his EU copy. Finding who's to blame won't get him anywhere, so better to admit the mistake and ask ANet for help if they feel included to do so. Business is messy, and sometimes you give a freebie to a client to keep them as clients. They could perhaps invalidate the serial and give him 50$ of gems on his account or some other compensation. Whether it creates a precedent is another story. I'd try anyway. What's there to lose?
I buy video games and board games mostly. Since I have started I have bought
Guild Wars 2
Fall of Cybertron
Borderlands 2
Ravenloft Board Game
Lord of the Rings: the living card game
Wife is pregnant so I am using only beer money to buy the fun stuff right now. Putting my normal "fun shit" monthly portion of my pay check towards baby stuff now.
For 1: Amazon has it for $40-ish.
I'm not too sure about 2 though, when you go to pick a server you can look at what it says for it, but I think most are either high or very high. You could also try looking at guilds on servers and seeing which ones have a large group that you may be interested in joining I guess. Playing with a guild is a lot of fun and many are pretty casual.

We need to find a better way of communicating with them.
On Amazon:

If you can't get anything from buy.guildwars2.com, Amazon still has copies here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001TOQ8X4
Digital Downloads are off for now. Physical copies only until ANet opens them back up.

Edit: Although, think about it. You really don't want the digital deluxe? Don't regret it later :P
Same from Amazon

In case I forgot to mention, Guild Wars 2 is free-to-play. "so hold the L not even needing to comment on anything there."
>your comments are being filtered for trolling.
Except they aren't. [Not] Sorry.
>xD xD xD devs are wrong bro. HAHA xDDDDDDD Doctors were wrong to label you as human being, you're actually a dog.
Being this upset. Just... why? "Hold the big L."
Don't even need to go out to buy it. Amazon has it.
amazon standard boxed for $40, http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-2-Pc/dp/B001TOQ8X4
Link to item on Amazon
It's still $33.98 from Amazon Marketplace Third Coast Resale. No tax in TX. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TOQ8X4/ref=twister_B0091XHZW8?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Physical copies are readily available: http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-2-Pc/dp/B001TOQ8X4
Sure you have to wait for shipping, but it beats waiting for keys to be sent out. You can upgrade to digital in-game if that's what you wanted.
Ah, fair enough.
Though, if it's an option, you can get a digital download from Amazon.com

Also, I play a Mesmer, so lets hope you target the right me. :P
And you bought the standard edition? (this one? http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-2-Pc/dp/B001TOQ8X4 )
Yep,
Digital Edition
Digital Deluxe Edition
Standard Edition
Collector's Edition
Obviously the digital editions don't come with boxes and all you get is a key and the other two are physical boxed copy like you would get in a brick and mortar store.
I'm sure it does. "The code to setup your Guild Wars 2 account early and access Beta Weekend Events will be emailed at least a few days before the release of the game."
Thanks but the picture and description clearly state "Pre-purchase" and not "Pre-order".
The link for the pre-order version is this one and there are other links for the other editions as well.
Amazon maybe?

The physical copies comes in standard edition while the digital copy only comes in deluxe...at least for now. As someone who has the deluxe edition, it's not really worth it. But it's up to you :) glad you enjoyed the game.
Sad that you were influenced with the LoC people here on reddit. It will go on sale again, or even for $40 it is a great deal.
Edit: Amazon has it for $30
FLASH
Guild Wars!
The microtransactions have fed GW1 a LOT of money, which has made up for no subscription fees in a way. I doubt you'll see the normal standard game go past $60. And, oddly, the price of GW2 has dropped $3 on US's Amazon since about a month ago when it was $59.

I thought that you wouldn't, but apparently I'm wrong. http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-Pre-Purchase-Online-Access/dp/B008MAYXI0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345760507&sr=8-1 and http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-2-Pc/dp/B001TOQ8X4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1345760507&sr=8-3
Show that you will get a 3 day head start. Honestly though, I'd buy directly from the GW2 website https://buy.guildwars2.com/en/
Thanks for the pointer, but I still can't get the game!
I checked the digital edition available at amazon http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-2-Pc/dp/B001TOQ8X4/ref=sr_1_2?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1346319785&sr=1-2&keywords=guild+wars2+digital+edition If you look at the 'Product Details' section, it says that - "Downloading: Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address."
I don't have a US billing address! do you know any other place where I can get the game?
If I order for the PC edition it will take around a week to reach me, I already have the downloaded client (took from a friend) so I am looking to purchase the digital edition to get started ASAP.
would you kindly go this link and hoover your mouse over the bottom-left corner of the box and tell me what it say ;)
http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-2-Pc/dp/B001TOQ8X4
In Europe the box got PEGI-rating. In NA it got ESRB
uh, today Link

REVIEW GUILD WARS 2 ON AMAZON NOW~
Yes it is true.
See what I did there? Do you have a citation?
TERA Pre-order
GW2 Pre-order
TSW Pre-order
Also for example, another game with no release date:
>PlanetSide 2 has now officially shown up for Pre Order for 49.99 on several websites!
http://www.planetside-universe.com/news-planetside-2-pre-order-2512.htm
Where are these options to reserve a game for $5? In every MMO I've ever seen/played, a pre-order was always a full game purchase, you just had the option to cancel it before release.
