Trying to decide whether to pre-order the physical copy or the digital..my question is if I get digital where will I find the game manual, and when does it become available?

Games still have manuals? ;)

Chances are, if there is one, it'll be a pdf included with the download.

I have not seen a true manual in a game in ages. Mostly it is just a page or two of install instructions and controls.

My guess is the manual or help will be in game or accessible on the web site.

With the dawn of information sharing and the evolution of wiki pages, the ancestral manuals are all gathered, preserved and filed historically.

... it's an art lost to time.

Printed manuals for MMOs are a bit pointless, since the information contained within soon becomes outdated and innacurate.
