During the last stress test I checked and could see at least a half-dozen + players are already on CD...many of us not and I was one of them.

I take it that everything is going to be wiped down to ground zero, including previous server selections and it will be a race for all of us to get on CD? (I'm assuming this is the case.)

I'm not quite up to speed where Reddit is concerned...again I'm assuming it's their size that becomes and issue for us... and it's not political issues with them?

Just a quick thought...how about making a fast poll for emergency votes to see how many have head-start access and how many will have to wait until the actual release date to select a server...with a third choice on the poll for "later than that."

If this could be done quickly enough some valuable numbers float to the surface which would give a more accurate assessment of how to proceed with main and backup servers and who might end up going where. Luck is going to play an important roll in this no doubt but a poll like that can make it easier to see who may get left out of CD and how best to cover them.

:)

so is CD still going to be the guild server and GLBT server because of this?

Fergusons Crossing was selected as the backup server in the event you cannot roll on CD. The guild will have to have a rank there that can manage server based tasks like influence.

I'm still no clear on what to do if CD is full. Just pick Ferguson's Crossing instead? :\ Anyway, since server transfers are free for the first week I will probably just get in where I can and move when I can.

We will know more this weekend for sure- if the servers cap -then reddit followers cant join either so it's going to be a shared issue.

.......crudbuckets

Lol.. And if you read through the posts someone suggests fergusons crossing as the backup server :silly:

Thanks for the advice. I decided to go with the G700. I liked that the buttons were spread out a bit, and I like that it's wireless. Since I game on a laptop, it'll be easy to transport if I'm staying at my bfs and want to nerd out there.

Sorry for hijackin the post, haha.

Good choice. :) I absolutely love my G700.

All points well taken and thank you so much Halish for your thoughts and consideration in that area. /applaud

Disclaimer: I wasn't asking for a website overhaul....just a minor adjustment in one area or another, so it was more clear where to go for off-topic stuff. Of which, Halish gave (or will be giving in the future) its due attention...and I am grateful.

/salute :)

There must be a barrel somewhere they keep scraping them out of.

That must be why they tend to have that tannin aftertaste and oaky bouquet.

24 hours from 4:20 PM is 4:20 PM the next day - which would mean your 24 hour period would expire by launch 5 hours later.. clear as mud!

doh. :pinch: why you had to crush my dream? :P

Meh, unless they do a really early start tomorrow i have a chance. Im not going to count on it, players would be pissed especially those who didnt know and missed their chance to select a server/grab names.

Time to spam to log in button tomorrow!

Here is official confirmation on how to claim your favourite character names during the first few hours of headstart.

There's a 24 hour "name lock" period after you delete a named character.

So if you want to quickly reserve all your names, start character creation, enter the name, and jump to the end (without customizing appearance etc.). Then delete. You should have 24 hours to recreate the characters at your leisure.

hmm... So whats happen if I create my 5toons and delete em in this stress test, name will be reserved til tomorrow headstart?

Hmm, I'll give it a try. ;P

Hehe, we can only hope they forget to flick the wipe switch.

they didnt according to twitter they are wiping again.

" @GuildWars2 Are the characters we make now going to carry over to headstart/release or will they be wiped again before tommorow?

I guess that means I have time to iron another shirt..

It will start at about 20 past the hour

I tried searching for GW2 streams by members of this community on the forums and it returned no results so..., I thought I'd make a thread for anyone to post their stream so people can watch each other if they feel like it! I often watch streams and chat during breaks or while multitasking and maybe some other people here like to do the same. I've also linked to this place on my stream page so possibly some interested people could find out about this place too.
