[QUOTE=Pandamox;35719217]And it starts at 12 noon for those of us on the west coast in North america, correct? So we basically have the longest time to play? HA [editline]26th April 2012[/editline] Well i mean the same amount of time but the longest waking hours it seems[/QUOTE]
Assuming that we're going to sleep this weekend - HA!

[GoldenBullet]

I'm working full day friday/saturday and I can quite happily say I'm going to be tired as fuck saturday morning. Energy drinks/all night.

Even better is I do karate 7-8 friday so I'll come home so fucking excited.

[Fhelita]

Which server did we Europeans choose?

[GoldenBullet]

RING OF FIIIRE!

How do you join the Guild tomorrow?

[Newbienice99]

Message Ektos Plasma. I will create the guils ASAP.

[SweFox*]

Is that your official name?

[Dominicus]

Just pre-ordered the game.

The things I do to secure my in-game name...

[Skidd]

I'm torn between Ring of Fire and Far Shiverpeaks now.

[GoldenBullet]

I'm excited.

So very excited.

Work tomorrow is going to go rather slow, then karate 7-8PM is going to be the longest session I will have ever attended.

[UnMute]

So I have a non-interchangeable driving lesson monday morning. No all nighter. Fuck.

[Benstokes]

I get off school tomorrow just before noon... YEEEEEES! Skipped the last few dozen pages, have we settled on a server yet?

[Newbienice99]

If for some reason someone takes my name, I will post here and send an announcement through the FP GW2 steam group.

first day will be unplayable, just sayin

I see you must be from the future

[Bullet100]

I'm sure the first few hours will be hell.

Hopefully I can get out of work early a few hours after beta starts. That way I won't have to wait for ANet to fix things that go wrong in the first few hours. (HOPEFULLY)

diablo 3 was unplayable for 2 days, this game has a much bigger hype

go figure

I'm not quite sure if that's right.

[Tey]

not to mention the gw2 closed beta was unplayable the first day with an incredibly much smaller playerbase

[Zalador]

I don't remember Diablo 3 being a MMO

[SweFox*]

[QUOTE=Tey;35720615]diablo 3 was unplayable for 2 days, this game has a much bigger hype[/QUOTE]

I played a couple hours after it started and continued doing so with few interruptions, so your statement is wrong.

Diablo I'd say has a much better reputation, and that was Blizz's stress test.

If GW2's stress test was truly open, I'd put money down on saying it'd probably have been worse.
They have a good 24 servers for the weekend though in two regions, not just the US, so I think they're well prepared. Nothing to worry about.

[Tey]

so you admit you got booted out of the server, having to spam the login screen to get in for 5 minutes at a time before giving up and waiting an hour, which will happen to gw2 since this is the first open beta and everyone will be zerging the login server. you know what they call that? unplayable

youll be back here tommorow night complaining you cant play

[SweFox*]

Then let them complain, whats your problem?

Well, you're not really contributing to the thread with your pessimism, so you can leave if you want to.

[Tey]

like i said before, theres only one login server and every mmo to date has met the fate of a flooded login server, even WoW often falls victim to this
