Another stress test August 21, noon to 4pm Pacific. I'll be able to play about an hour and a half before going to work, unless I'm called in early again.

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.

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

@#$%&*() I spend an hour and a half (they started head start early) making my character and find that somebody stole my elementalists name. One word names couldn't be made in GW1 so they couldn't be reserved.

Gets worse my asura warrior's name was taken too. I changed "a" to "â" and was able to make Whâkk. Whâkk, asura warrior in armor Whâkk, in street clothes, so you can see his hair Whâkk, in street clothes, wearing the limited edition free hat Étienne Martel (French for Stephen Hammer), human guardian in original armorÉtienne Martel, in street clothesRameî, sylari elementalist in armor - apparently I have a thing for blue and purple Rameî, sans armor - sylvari first appear in the Dream wearing armor but after killing the first boss the sylvari appears on Tyria, wearing nothing bud leaves were undergarments would be. After talking to an NPC you get your armor back. Note: sylvari undergarments are not actually clothes but are as much part of the sylvari's body as what is being covered up. Rameî in street clothes Kissa Nimbleclaw, charr thief, in original armor(updated since betas) Kissa Nimbleclaw in street clothes) Anvîndr, norn ranger in original armor Anvîndr, norn ranger in street clothes The Hall of Memorial armors and weapons are just skins. You If you don't have the weapons they don't give them to you. If you have mace and want to change its appearance to Deldrimor Mace you get the skin from HOM and double click on it then drag the actual mace to the new window to combine Deldrimor Mace skin and with the existing mace's stats. All the HOM weapons and armor work that way. If you later get armor or weapons with better stats and what the HOM skin you have to return to the hall and get them again. You get weapon skins, armor skins and mini pets from Kimmes the Historian. The ranger pets are just walking around the hall. Most of them in the first room but the jellyfish is in the second room in the water near Kimmes. Your ranger can charm any or all of them. I thought there was a bug with one of the weapon skins but I was mistaken. The icon does not change so it looks like weapon hasn't changed even though its renamed. But when you equipe the weapon it will show the new appearance on your character.

These characaters are the ones I had to buy extra slots for, at 800 gems or $10 real money each. Ravnur, norn mesmer, original amor - only one word character name some one else didn't take Ravnur in street clothes (very different color scheme to armor and unmasked)Tomas Nathan Tinker, human engineer in original armor Tomas Nathan Tinker in street clothes Draén, sylvari necormancer, in original armor Draén, just after he awoke in Tyria Draén in street clothes Draén in the dark, no armor Sylvari hardest to design, they have so many combinations, including the ability to glow in the dark. See if I can get a night shot of Ramei without his armor. I redid Tomas Nathan Tinker. So if you looked at him before, look at him again (the links have changed).
