I'm slow, so it'll probably be 5 years until I'm level 80. Ok, hopefully not that bad, but I only can usually play two hours a day. :(

1.5 hours per level, so at two hours/day, that's two months. I guess this game is made to play slowly or you'll get bored quickly.

Amaaaazing, I love it every time I get a chance to play. :)

I played a Ranger and Engineer during closed beta and a thief on the beta weekends. I'm planning to play a Human Guardian now, but I guess we'll see.

I will as well (or at least attempt to). At the very least, to chat. :)

Oh I will log in!

Charr Elementalist me thinks...I like how they run around on 4 legs and Captain Planet is my hero :)

I'll only be able to pop in on this one using the laptop.. putz around with crafting perhaps. Maybe go through character creation again to refresh my memory lol

Good luck on the new pc Thrumdi.. I built a new one just for GW2 as well.

All I can say is WOW, Doc!! :woohoo: This post alone makes me wish I was at a higher level to join you all in this. I've not EVER done RP before so haven't the faintest idea how it's supposed to work or what any of the terminology means (like blueshirt?) but you make it sound like a really FUN thing to do. I am hoping EVERYTHING works out for all involved but the planning that has gone into this is astounding to me. I SALUTE YOU ALL! ;)

Episode 697 - Enterprise - "Carpenter Street" - 11/26/2003

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=5311

With the help of Daniels, Archer and T'Pol go back in time after discovering a group of Xindi reptilians are creating a biological weapon in 2004 Detroit.

Enjoy!

An hour?! ... That's not enough! :(

I won't be able to make it this time i don't think, but with the short length and the ominous threat of rubber banding, maybe thats okay:) Although i did want to try out an ele...

It's only an hour .. unless that was a typo on their part:

Happy weekend, everyone!

We will be conducting a stress test TOMORROW Sunday, August 12 from 11:00 AM PACIFIC Time to 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time.

REMEMBER: We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed.

Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch.

By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game!

--
Please note:
* The stress test is open to anyone who has pre-purchased Guild Wars 2.
* Characters will not be wiped from the previous Stress Test.

I was dead set on being a thief before the beta weekends but when I started playing I felt useless unless I was standing in back and shooting my pistols. I tried some other classes and liked Elementalist and Mesmer so I may end up playing one of those as my main.

At least I've decided on a race. For me there are no other races, just Asura.

Not sure if you watch their podcast but they will very much be in charge of the WvW on whatever server they go... no doubt.. has both its positives and negatives..

Another reason it might not be bad to sit tight as they plan on moving from CD on release.. it would be kind of funny if we changed servers and went to the same one they move to.. lol

I've requested to be added to their mailing list so I can see the announcement when they decide.. my hope is for Eternal Grove to come back.. it just seemed like home to me.. but I did pick Sylvari for my main.. hehe

I will echo what she said about guild drama though. Guild Wars 2 is a game where a server is the "team" and there is no reason why one guild should be in direct competition with each other. As long as the server is doing well, and everyone is having fun, that's all that matters.

If this could or will become a reality....I would be the happiest gamer alive. :cheer: I'm so beat-up and tired of ego-drama!

Because I'm on my iPad and don't want to retype this is a repost. I would like to add that even at full and long into the BW it only took a few minutes of trying to get in a server. ANet will be adjusting as release unfolds. Release days are always like this.

I dunno I don't see CD as obviously over populated..

There are few alliances or guilds that can truly have a numbers impact on a server. Ascension and Team Legacy because of their huge followings from the Tales of Tyria podcast. Are one of these exceptions. Not to mention the hardcore PvP/WvW folks they attract.

They have been on CD throughout Beta, I think this is a big reason why CD has the following it does. Because of so many people following them around they plan on moving, this alone is going to dramatically change the server.

I also don't see it as over populated because ANet has been fudging the numbers all along to control population. What we see the moment of release is not what we'll see 30 days from now. I just don't want a permanent solution to a very temporary problem.

Since we're talking about it, are we going rogue and don't plan to joining the GLBT community? That of course is another part of the equation.

Anyway I don't want to give the impression I'm tied to CD, I just don't want to be on a dead server because I know low pop today means dead within a year..

One of the LGBT guilds, Gayme 0n, originally selected Darkhaven as the official LGBT guild (after Eternal Grove was removed) and when everyone started kicking off about that, I was in discussion with the the leader of Gayme 0n and Rough Trade.

Rafeal is the leader of Rough Trade and he was almost in a state of panic trying to organise a server choice that would keep everyone happy. Hang on let me quote the email he sent me during our conversations.

What do you guys think about Crystal Desert as the OFFICIAL LGBT Server period? We need a quick response to get this message out. If you guys jump on board all I have to do is get Gayme On, as well?

He asks me and I ok'd it, this is before he had discussed this with the leader of the WvW centric guild Gayme 0n. We later decided to wait for Eternal Grove and use Crystal Desert as a back up server (not exactly the way to go if their main desire all along as to force us onto a WvW server).

When Crystal Desert was selected it was before it became a "WvW world" (though I refuse to accept that definition) and people were happy with the choice (for the most part, we all miss Eternal Grove).

Remember this was all done on the eve of a BWE event and we had to try and get everybody in the right place. It's looking more and more likely that despite it's problems Crystal Desert will be the official GBLT server, with or without us.

If we can't accept that then the only choice we have is to break away from them and go it alone. Which I'm open to discuss, although I think it wouldn't be in our interests in the long run. GBLT servers have worked well in other games, and a game which requires co-operation as much as Guild Wars 2 does, it can only be a good thing to have an extended GBLT community.

I'm going to make a thread later to discuss the "back up" server idea and hopefully come to some sort of consensus about what to do with he "full server" problem (for the short term).

I agree with Blue - I voted slow and have no intent to rush to 80 - but by the nature of the game, levels will fly by faster than you know it. You get xp for almost everything you do. Unless you spend hours and hours talking to all the booksellers and carni folk in Divinity's reach - you're going to be doing something that moves you along. It's one of the many great things about GW2.
