    Prepurchased this today as well, hopefully it runs on my laptop. Can-You-Run-It says I fulfill all the requirements but am not sure how accurate that will be. Anyway, looking forward for the start.

    Fenraellis: If you are serious about that, we should probably make a thread or something so we get can an idea of how many people are willing to roll there and start up. I'm willing simply because playing alone is almost always boring after a few hours.

    Come on IRC or something, we can talk.

    Borlis Pass sounds good.

    Also, what's everyone planning on rolling? I'm planning on going Human Elementalist. I can squirt you all with my healing goo. :3

    Are servers depending on your location, continent and country and the like?

    As for the class, either Human Guardian or Human Elementalist.

    I preordered also. Borliss pass? Sounds good to me, can't wait.

    Your original server choices should be based upon your purchase region, but it's been a while since I chose my Beta server, so I can't recall exactly. That said, I'm reasonably sure that you can transfer to servers not of your original purchasing region, but it likely costs money(or rather, gems) to do so, like other server transfers within your region. Maybe not at launch, but I couldn't say for sure.


    As for my intentions, well... Sylvari Mesmer, Asura Guardian, either Norn or Sylvari Ranger(just something about a Ranger wearing leaves that seems appealing), and who knows what else. I'll likely make an Elementalist before too long, but I can't say what race.

    All this ignores any potential racial skill 'optimization' such as the Sylvari racial healing skill being quite comparably effective, or the relative Elites. Heck, at the moment in the Betas, all of the standard Mesmer Elites were unusable underwater. I can understand Moa Morph, since they are Terrestrial-only as Ranger pets too, but Mass Invisibility should work, same with Time Warp. We'll see what they decide to allow.

    Syaoron, I could do IRC, Skype or whatever.

    Looks like Borlis Pass is still the server of choice. I'll see you all there.

    If everyone in this thread gets to the DLP guild, whichever it may be, we're gonna have some awesome times. I'm looking forward to this more every day.

    Yeah, that's reassuring, if nothing else.

    ---------- Post automerged at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

    On a largely-unrelated note, there will be another four-hour Stress Test tomorrow(for me, at least):
    I figure that I might get to trying out those last three classes that I have yet to play, or maybe meet up with some of you. Who knows?

    Probably'll be playing a something-guardian on launch. Human or asura, I'm thinking.

    I'm guessing Pre-Order is basically you went to a store and put some, but not the full amount of, money down. Pre-Purchase is exactly as it sounds. Either Pre-purchased off of their site, or in-full at one of the various stores.

    I'll be playing a sylvari warrior main with a sylvari ranger sub. The link has some interesting info on how damage is calculated if you're into that.

    What Fen said: Pre-orders involve a down payment($5 usually), and pre-purchases are paid in full.

    For this game a pre-purchase gets you access to beta events(now over) and stress tests, as well as a head start before the official release date.

    As a reminder, we're taking a tally of sorts for the planned DLP Guild in this thread. Also chatting in the #GW2 channel on DLP IRC.

    One hour till I get to log in for the first time. Wooo!

    Any recommendations for a newb? I don't intend to level-skip, since I want to see the foundations before I see the more advanced elements.

    Made a mock copy of the guild on the Beta realm for the moment, and sent invites to those players that have accepted my contact requests.

    Trying to get on, but my client decided I needed to download another 26k files. :mad:

    So... Dem gates in WvW. Fighting them with only five people and no war machines. I think the small group of us managed to deal about 10% of the gate's health in 10 minutes.
