Very few servers this time around, and better WvW algorithms!

Yay servers! With them doubling the number of servers for this weekend, we’ve got plenty to choose from. If you’ve got friends on another server, don’t worry. We’ll have free transfers for the first 18 hours of the beta. After that, it’s 1800 gems. Remember, you get 2000 gems if you put your card information into the system (there’s no charge, it’s just for them testing their authorization system) and 500 free gems just because.

For everyone that’s going to be in the beta, you’re more than welcome to message me and stuff when we’re all in there. Hell, you might be lucky enough to be grouped while I’m doing video. But, you can chat with me when I’m paying attention to chat. You can ask me questions live, and I might ask them. Anyway, I wanted to invite you all to join me in the beta. I’m going to be playing on the Darkhaven server. The character I’ll be spending the most time on will probably be named Yoshi G W Two. If you can add to friends by any name on the account like GW1, that’ll be enough. If not, I’ll post the list of characters I’ll be on when we go live.

Edit: If you’re having issues with the client download, or you haven’t gotten your email yet, please don’t panic. Emails are still going out, and they’re working on issues. Go to Customer Support and open a ticket. They’ve got a lot of those right now, but it’s what you should do. Don’t panic.

Edit: I’ve changed my server to be the same server as the Gamebreaker TV crew (Darkhaven) If you’re planning on joining me, please do so there!
