Sorry but Kerstov beat ya to it....

GW2 Headstart Launch Time maybe 3 hours earlier!

ArenaNet has announced the launch list of servers for Guild Wars 2.

Because our first choice "Eternal Grove" is missing from the list, the unofficial GBLT server has defaulted to our second choice "Crystal Desert". As such we have decided to stay with out GBLT friends and use this server as our "home" server when the game launches on August 28th (25th for headstart).

I would like to thank all of our members for their feedback and support during the server discussions and also for their patience. It's never nice to have to "stall" a decision but now that we have the official server list we can finally move forward.

I've been trying to figure out what order I should claim my names... I want a name for one of my alts that I know will go quickly... the name for my Main may go rather quickly but probably not as fast as the alts..

so do I worry about getting my Mains first, since this is the char I'll spend most my time on..

or try to grab the popular name I want for my alt first..

God I Love Release Day! lol

That's great! I'm glad I don't have to rush through character creation :)

Time for you to lay off the Jack Daniels!

Eastern Kentucky - Eastern Time Zone - 3 hours difference whenever it starts.
Western Kentucky - Central Time Zone - 2 hours difference whenever it starts.

Headstart is scheduled for 12:00 Midnight PST so that's 2:00 am Central or 3:00 am Eastern

If they launch early you can start spamming your login at 11:00 pm Central or 12:00 midnight Eastern :)

so.. maybe im that silly person who always gets confused about the times for when a game starts and happens to always be late.. I live in Kentucky, so what time would this be for me?

Thank you! :)
I actually just saw as well the link on the bottom right of the page :blush:

Vent -

http://stonewallvanguard.com/wc/communication/vent

I am in I am in!
6AM Paris time for then, waking up early ^^

Where can I get the vent info?

I refuse!

lol no just kidding - CD sounds beatiful and can't wait to go there with all of you and have a blast

Ok I've gone ahead and confirmed Crystal Desert since it seems we're all in agreement here.

I will be posting up a thread when I get home from work tonight for us to discuss the "back up" server option.

I prefer a less 'hardcore' server. I'm worried about the server being full very quicly and i'm worried about not being good enough to play WvWvW because we will be competing against the best servers. If we pick a 'smaller' server, then i'd be worried about the server being dead after a few months. Most important to me though, is sticking together with the other gay guilds.

The leader of Gayme 0n has announced that Gayme 0n and Rough Trade have already decided on Crystal Desert. There is also a poll on gaygamer.net in which the majority votes for Crystal Desert, although only 21 people voted yet. So i think we should follow them to Crystal Desert.

Gayme 0n and Rough Trade are planning a secondary back up server. We should probably look into this too. Just in case the server is completely full before all stonewallers have joined.

Quote by Halish

Spam advertising in-game is not a good thing and to be honest I think it's a dying practice and we should actively avoid taking part in it.

This form of guild recruitment can attract unwanted anti-gblt attacks or prompt the inevitably "Why do you need a GBLT guild, couldn't you just not talk about it in a normal guild?" type of conversation.

People "should" actively research and pick a guild suitable for them and not just wait until they see a random guild spam and go with them because they have a cool name (or whatever else criteria you could get from a 200 character message). This is the entire reason why most MMO's have guild recruitment forums rather than in-game guild search mechanics.

I have yet to see any guild advertising in game and long may it continue. :)

Any form of recruitment including forums will always bring in people who troll. It is completely inevitable in my opinion.

But if the guild is large enough to the point it doesn't need to advertise, I can agree with you on the spamming.

CD sounds great.
On a side note, I don't see us listed on GW2guilds yet. But, haven't seen many other guilds such as Boon Squad on there either.
Wish Agenda would hop on to CD with us as well.

On another side note, I can see the CD jokes coming already. "all gays are CD's" and the like. Be prepared. -_____-

You guys beat me to the punch. I was JUST thinking about asking people if they planned on having a headstart vent party. Can't wait :)

Hurray, it's on my day off too!

Well it looks like I'll be staying up to mash the login button then. I'll also get on vent so I don't feel so alone.

Keep in mind that while these numbers are on gw2guilds.org, not all guilds have listed their guild numbers, most are estimates and not all guilds have registered on that site.

But, from what currently shows:

name of server - number of guilds - number of people (ranked by number of people)

Far Shiverpeaks - 70 - 2607
Jade Quarry - 76 - 2493
Sorrow's Furnace - 50 - 2165
Crystal Desert - 51 - 1979
Gandara - 58 - 1928
Tarnished Coast - 79 - 1278

I wanted to get some kind of handle on how populated CD would be in comparison to other servers. Assuming that the numbers are errored in roughly the same way, CD won't be the most populated server. Of course we don't want to play on in a ghost town, but also don't want the server to be so crowded as bring the poor thing down.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that CD is fine with me as well.

Crystal Desert is just fine with me. :) I can very safely cast another vote for Posidius for CD as well. He's my partner and would want me to add his voice to the vote...as he is at work and can't get to a computer. We agree on all matters of importance...that's why we are 16 years into a great relationship...I will of course inform him of his absentee vote :cheer:

Two Votes: CD

Crystal Desert..
