Preorder? No. Prepurchase? Yes. But you'll have to prepurchase the expansion directly from NCsoft, y'know.
It's believed that Dual Pistols should be ready around the upcoming Double XP Weekend, but don't quote me on that.
Here ya go, has all the up-to-date info.

I appreciate you posting that, but I already found it. It says nothing about how you can attach the prepurchase to your account to gain early access to DP, or when in March it's coming, I'm mostly trying to figure if I'll be able to roll a DP for DXP weekend.

My guess is that it will be an upgrade key associated with the pre-purchase -- its how they do everything else...

SO if they stick to everything they have said then look for the item to go on sale next week

According to the Community team, yes, you'll be able to prepurchase and have Dual Pistols in time for DXP weekend. Which means that we'll be seeing the advertising happiness hit sometime next week. I had actually bet on this week, but we got the I17 announcement...

Thank you for the replies. I see that Virtue is just as helpful as it was when I left over a year ago. Glad I came back.

I imagine we'll see it later today (because it's 6:14am over where Paragon Studios is), but no later than Thursday.

So, damn, this prepurchase release is being handled pretty poorly. I'm honestly a little baffled by the utter silence from the Devs not only in the week or so leading up to today but... Well.. Any time would have been a good time to give a simple date confirmation, really. Now granted we know that it's supposed to be up and running for 2XP Weekend so that all of us crazy-*** folk can make our DP characters and start racing them to 50, so at the very least it'll come out BY Thursday as best I can estimate...
But man, I have been WAITING and waiting and waiting for this powerset and put up a half dozen "Ooh, what if Dual Pistols were like this?!" posts and all that such and so... I'm excited even if everyone else isn't, damnit! XD
Anyone else bummed out by the lack of change to NCSoft's store setup this morning?

Oh my god! I just realized I was sitting there refreshing the COH store. o_o
Well, let's hope that my coming here and complaining was the final catalyst to getting it up there. Maybe they really are watching me. Hahahaha. XD

I hope for no retailer exclusive bonuses. Is NCSoft going to drop that low?

Nahhh, I think they're focusing on trying to lock down the existing player base. City population is a mere shadow of what it was maybe 3 or 4 years ago. :/

I honestly don't expect it today. I think a redname made a comment that suggested that you'd be able to play DP as soon as you prepurchase GR, but the powers don't seem to be in the game yet.

All I've been able to gather is that we'll be able to preorder it "sometime" in March, and that it will allow us early access to Dual Pistols. Any info on how this works? Is there a code to enter or what? How and where do we preorder it? When in March is it being released?
