Guild Wars Eye of the North Sneak Peek Weekend

Pre-order Note
The Eye of the North Sneak Peek Weekend was only available to those who purchased the Guild Wars: Eye of the North pre-order pack from NCSoft/Arena.net, on other online and offline vendors. In the case of offline, a serial key was included with the pack, which, when registered allowed players to enter the Eye of the North Sneak Peek via a quest, available in one major city in each current campaign.

In all towns where the Quest into GW:EN was available, you must have been level 20 to receive the quest. All members of the party must have also been level 20 as well, except for Heroes and Henchmen.

End of Event Notes, Problems and Solutions
After the event ended, any attempt to travel or load into one of the Eye of the North towns or outposts resulted in that character being redirected to the first town of their home continent.
 * Prophecies characters end up in Ascalon City (Post-Searing).
 * Factions characters end up in Monastery Overlook, as though they were just created, but are unable to repeat the tutorial quests.
 * Nightfall characters end up in Chahbek Village.

GW:EN Heroes after the event
If you had any GW:EN heroes in your party when the event ended they will have been removed from your party, they will still be reported as occupying a hero slot and therefore prevent you from adding more heroes. Zoning to Random Arena (which removes all party members) will fix this and allow you to add 3 heroes again. This has since been fixed by ANet.
