Guild Wars 2: All Aboard the Mantrain

Pre-ordered because I am very excite.

From the info I read about on the site, it seems like it'll be good. I loved the world of the first game and the story, it was just the gameplay itself that felt a bit dated so I'm hoping they updated that a bit.

I might start with Charr because a race focusing primarily on its military sounds interesting.

so the official server list was announced. and if the betas and stress tests are anything to go by, you can't change servers once you choose one without deleting the characters.

Wrong.
You can change server any time (unless the sever you want to go to is full)
The first option is to visit the server as a guest.
The you keep the boni from your old server (the ones from WvW)
and it cost you nothing at all.
Then you can change your server but for this you have to pay 1800 gems (or whatever the things are called).
Oh and if you change the server you change it with your whole account.

I'm just gonna post the entire part for that from their site, but I'm pop flyin' servers won't be set in stone at the start.

Quote:

By default, we display the worlds that are hosted in your regional data center, but you will be able to select a home world from either region at this time. So, for example, if you are a European player who prefers to play on the North American worlds, you’re free to do so.

At launch, players will be able to transfer between worlds freely. However, once server populations have largely settled and stabilized, world transfers will be restricted to once a week and cost a variable amount of gems based on the population of the world being transferred to.

In time, we’ll also introduce free “guesting,” which will allow players to visit other worlds as guests as long as they have friends on those worlds. This feature will be free, but guest players will not be able to enter World vs. World, and the Power of the Mists bonuses from their home world will continue to apply to their characters.

So I completely forgot this, but I guess pre-orders (not sure if it's every version) got you a 3 day head start so you can download the client on the 25th and play. I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

Except I'm still torn on what class/race to play first and I don't want to make a bunch of characters to start with because it will distract me from actually playing the game.

If you prepurchased full price any version, its 3days, preorder is only 1 day to my understanding.

Game finally comes out tomorrow so I guess I'll drop my account name in here so I can pal up with all of you. Account name is AltBucket.6328. I'm currently on the Henge of Denravi server, but for the immediate future server hopping is free, so I'll move wherever. My only long term goals for this game are to have fun and bring much glory to THE MANTRAIN.

But man, I'm having so much fun playing this. I'm not very far though because I keep making new characters (I've used up 4 of my 5 character slots.) I've only reached one of the starter cities so far (Norn) and I like how big it feels. Haven't actually explored the whole thing yet, but already it seems bigger than any city from GW. Also, I missed out on all the beta weekends so it's my first time actually experiencing the combat and I love it.

So, walking around and get an event message about the beast has awakened, wander over and...

After going closer it shows a lot more people there helping fight it, so we defeat the world boss and a huge chest appears that everyone that participated can loot from, the events in this game are great.

Is there a designated AZ server?

Odds · **Posted:** Tue Aug 28, 2012 2:24 pm

I really don't know who's playing where, but Zen, Verom, and I are on Maguuma.

Odds · **Posted:** Tue Aug 28, 2012 4:30 pm

I fought the Shadow Behemoth too.

Well, I see no problem with making Maguuma the AZ server. Too bad making guilds is currently down. My name feels empty without the [DIX] (I think that was our tag...) behind it. Except you guys are higher levels then me because I keep screwing around with new characters so I need to do some catching up.

Odds · **Posted:** Tue Aug 28, 2012 5:18 pm

[DIX] was indeed our guild tag.

Also I guess add me? I'm Sheogorath.5184

Not Malum · **Posted:** Tue Aug 28, 2012 5:38 pm

I chose Maguuma, playing an Asura Necromancer named Necrisus.
I'm Malum.8216

Verom · **Posted:** Tue Aug 28, 2012 11:19 pm

Fuck physics.

Also since everyone else is posting it
Asura engineer, Diorum and or Verom.4573
