Balandar Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 August 28th, 2012 - the day Guild Wars 2 launches - is fast approaching. Everyone here at ArenaNet is anxiously counting the days right along with every Guild Wars 2 fan. As you may have seen, we host a countdown timer on the front page of our official website. The information below will give you specific details about times and dates based on whether you pre-purchased, pre-ordered, or are picking up a copy of the game on release day. For those players who have not pre-purchased or pre-ordered the game, Guild Wars 2 will officially launch at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 28th. Pre-Purchase with 3-Day Headstart: Everyone who pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 will enjoy three full days of Headstart Access. The three-day Headstart Access will officially begin at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 25th. However, please note that in order to ensure we’re fully prepared for that fateful hour we may bring servers online up to 3 hours prior. If you’re a player committed to getting in first to grab that character name of your dreams you’ll want to be keeping an eye on things during that time period. Pre-Order with 1-Day Headstart: Those who pre-ordered Guild Wars 2 will be able to participate in one day of Headstart Access. The one-day Headstart Access will begin at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 27th. NOTE - Pre-Order code registration is now enabled. Download the Client today: If you’ve registered your pre-purchase or pre-order and created your Guild Wars 2 account you can go to account management today and download the client. Be sure to update the client periodically to minimize your download at launch. We look forward to seeing you in-game very soon! From ArenaNet.

Balandar Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Correct. Anywhere from Midnight to 3AM they can bring up the servers. The rumor is they'll bring up the login servers for like a minute, shut it down. Then over and over. Let in a few at a time... Otherwise I don't see how they will handle a million+ people trying to log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinj Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 well, it's a friday night and I generally have no life past 10pm and I'll likely be out that night, so if I'm still concious and in my own apartment at midnight I'll be "happily" on teamspeak while mashing the login button.

Chaz Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I work til midnight Friday, but you can bet your ass I'll be here as soon as humanly possible, and I'm not stopping til I've played the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 It seems if you mash the login button it gets stuck sometimes and you have to restart the client :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
