Poland isn't exactly close to Sweden, about 1000km apart I'd say (I've been to both countries).
Anyway, I'm from Europe, too. I live in Estonia, a small country that's located just south from Finland. I like it here, though, especially the weather. Freezing in the winter (-10 C at the moment), nice and warm in the summer (up to 30 C).
Most Americans *Deleted*think Estonia is some university or a new mall (a survey was conducted a while ago). Heck, even I know where most of the world's countries are located and I'm only in highschool, albeit last year.

I must say you are mistaken my friend.
From harbour in Kolobrzeg to harbour in Ystad its about 175 km by ferry, and from Kolobrzeg to Karlskrona its about 225 km by ferry.
So you see its pretty close.
BTW there are also regular bus lines that are going from Poland to several cities in Sweden.
Ok so pretty much everything I said was wrong ( I could have sworn it was 1000km to Poland from here, it least it seemed like it). Also, this is the first time my post has been edited on these forums. I meant it to be a joke really, a cruel one *evil laughter*. I will now shamefully back away and just observe instead of post. Thanks for smacking my big ego though :D.

UK - The place where it is near impossible to find a preorder pack.
Yeah, tell me about it! I eventually ordered it from 'Import Madness' (http://www.importmadness.com/cgi-bin/home). They are a US/Canada-based site I think, but it only took about a week or so to get here. It was the full 'Pre-Order' Pack (boxed, with CD, Arena Manual, Posters, etc), too.
Have you actually managed to obtain your 'Pre-Order' yet, Bravo? http://www.rpgforums.net/images/smilies/ponder.gif

Not yet, still using one weekend only keys. The bone idol looks useful for some builds that I was planning, and I don't know what item you would get with import madness...
Asked in the other thread though with the person that is willing to try and find packs...

ImportMadness (www.ImportMadness.co.uk), who are exporting to European countries, will immediately send you an email with a BWE code, then the pre-order pack within 12-14 days. They then ship-out thr retail pack afew days before release! They also give the Censor's Icon, as a 'unique item'.

I can confirm that. ImportMadness is the best choice for u I believe. The preorder package got to Poland (that's where I live, so really close to u:)) in only 3 days, another 3 days it was travelling from main cargo airport to my doorstep. They are fast and reliable. http://www.rpgforums.net/images/smilies/bigclap.gif for them.

There only seems to be a few from the UK at the moment which is a bit disapointing. But when the top selling UK PC mags dont even include GW in the April releases you have to wonder if NCSoft and ArenaNet are going to bother advertising or informing people in the UK until after "Worldwide release".

Yeah, you're not wrong there, bro. :( The UK Gaming Mags are showing next to nothing! Even PC Format, which I used to subscribe to, is silent.
I bought this month's (March) PC Format = Nada.
Performed a search of the PC Format site = Nada.
Performed a search of the PC Gamer site = Nada.
Performed a search of the PC Zone/Computer and Video Games site and ...
... got a ton of results! :) PC Zone Magazine (http://www.pczone.co.uk/) - But, you have to register, if you want to view any of the entries there (I didn't). - They seem a bit confused about the release date too.
Apart from that magazines' site, there's bugger-all coverage is there? And next month's magazines will end up playing catch-up, not to mention TOTALLY missing the release itself!! Come on! I bet US/Asian magazines have been covering it!
Does the price of £33.99 on iimportmadness include the full retail? Or is it JUST the preorder?
