New security feature with the stress test: Before I could play I had to verify my email address by receiving an email and then going to the included web site. Email said click on it but it wasn't actually a clickable link, I had to copy and paste.

Once I got in a had a letter. They're letting us test the items we got for pre-purchasing the game.So I'm wearing a magic ring +2 on stats and being followed by a miniature Rytlock Brimstone.
The ring and the banker golem (follows you around giving you access to the storage bank wherver you are) are apparently per character, because each time I changed characters they got the mail with those two items. Other pre-purchase stuff, including the mini are once per account so only the first character I logged in on got those. But they can be banked so different character could use them. In fact the option to send all "Collectibles" to the bank no matter where you are included, much to my surprise, the mini. The banker golem lets you take stuff out of the bank or put stuff in not considered collectible wherever you are otherwise only collectibles can be sent in without having to go to a banker.
Dance emote /dance is finally in. I'm not certain whether its race based, profession based, gender based or some combination. GW1 only had human so dance was profession and gender based. My favorite in GW1 is male monk, it uses some martial arts type moves. Monk flex in GW1 has monk stand on its head, other professions just flex their arm muscles.

Dancing is race based only. Couple of Youtube videos showing the dancing: Guild Wars 2 dances, in game sound Guild War 2 dances with music - embedded video shows where the dances came from

Dang it! I just learned there was a one hour stress test last night which I missed. Seems they gave 10 minutes notice on Twitter. Claiming your Hall of Monuments Rewards Arenanet Is Hiring

They deleted the database before, requiring the creating of new characters which has led to speculation that was they were testing was how much stress character creation could take. John Smith on the Guild Wars 2 Virtual Economy

Any one who did not link Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 when they purchased Guild Wars 2 (since you're promoted to do that when you first activate GW2 the only way this should happen is if you bought GW2 first then later bought GW1) may now link the two games (to receive GW2 rewards for playing GW1) by going to Link Accounts
