Different bonus depending on shop?

Interesting

Play.com gives out a Rhino mount (As does Game)

But Amazon gives out a Bow instead

Any others?

Oh and bummer that to play 'early' you have to pay an extra £5 to download it seems...

Aeribian IV · 05-05-08, 12:27 PM

Oh wait, Play also says "8 extra inventory slots"

Best bonus for me! Im a horder!

a norwegian retailer offered

the "regular" gave a rhino bonus.
the collector a 2%xp bonus ring and a cloak of free bar drinks :P (and some rl trinkets)

edit :
the price on collectors edition varies a lot. £45 I got it for. they sell regular for £35

Ouch, id take the XP bonus every time!

Collector edition gives 2 different rings, both give the xp bonus, then some extra bonus..with spell damage (or equiv) and melee damage for the other. Only thing is, collector edition is £60+ with normal pre-order being that of £24...so..if you've got the cash, the xp is good, if not, I'd rather stick with the usual stuff....cause I'm poor.

Thought the mount was universal mind, in regards to pre-ordering, unless they've changed it...then I'm not gonna be a happy chappy..

Hmm, sod the ring then.

And definaly dont get the mount and extra inventory at Amazon, they are giving away this instead

Amazonian Curved Bow

Click the bow for a larger viewFrom the fabled dark jungles of Amazonia, the female warriors of Gamburu are well known for their combat prowess with bronze-bladed short swords and curved bows. At the cost of many brave lives, Hyrkanian raiders brought home a handful of the unique Amazonian bows, now mostly found in the black markets of Aquilonia.

The bow can be given to eight characters per account but cannot be equipped by any character without archery skills. You must learn these skills in order to use this bow. Rangers and Barbarians learn bow skills at level five, Tempests of Set and Bear Shaman learn bow skills at level 22, and the remaining eight classes do not currently have a way to learn how to use the bow.

The Amazonian curved bow is designed to be a very effective weapon when you’ve left the tender care of Tortage and are making your way in the big world for the first time.

Might be quite useful, apparently the bow's pretty good at the moment. Tho with builds of the game changing all the time dunno how long it'll stay that way or even if this will carry through to release. Got mine preordered from Game, Rhino ftw.

Snubson · 05-05-08, 05:46 PM

Changed over to play for the mount, classes I'm considering playing...cant use a bow anyway so waste of time

My preorder gave me an inventory belt (i guess thats 8 extra slots which is a godsend without exaggerating) and the absolutely imba War Mammoth..

If you havent seen the Mammoth, its in the below movie, at about 1:40..
