Guild Wars Pre-Order - Euro Edition

Those of you who were fortunate enough to get your hands on the European Pre-order that provided the Chimeric Prism:

Can you recall if the code you received was only a code or if there was a European box version you purchased with a code inside?

If there was a box, is there any chance you still have the box in your possession? I'd love to see a picture of it to compare to the American versions.

I don't know if I have the euro preorder box in storage but I will look next time I am digging through the garage. I have censors icon on my american account and chimeric prism on my euro. It was from the days of them being separate regions. I am pretty sure there was a box but its been 15 years.

That would be great if you could share that with me. After all these years I have actually never seen a physical Euro Pre-Order box. Everything I've been able to find has referred to purchasing the pre-order through a few Euro websites. Since the urls dont exist for GW1 on those sites anymore - it is very hard to see if they mailed a box or emailed a code.

I'd be curious about this myself. I spent years hunting for a Chimeric Prism back in the day.

I actually was auditing my accounts earlier and noticed something awesome that I can't even remember how I did it regarding proph preorders. I realized one account I actually have dual proph preorder items lol.

Awww. Chimeric Prism is the one item I always wanted but could never get... =(

I have all the other USA preorder items. Apparently I have a lot of keys on my account.

Yea my main account is stacked like that. I actually have a total of 3 accounts with chimeric prism. I don't even remember why I wanted it so bad other than farming. Now a days it would be quite difficult to get it as I remember it was very uncommon even in 2007 or so.

Shame you don't have an unused Chimeric Prism key. Would have traded you anything I have for it.
