The Final Countdown – Guild Wars 2 Launch Times (GW2 official site)


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 that 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.

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.

I'll be thrilled if I can get in at midnight. Crankier if instead of sleeping from midnight to 3am, I am now sitting there refreshing log in screens while they slowly bring on servers. You can't make a gamer happy ! But I'll be at the desk at midnight now ...

[Morreion]

Midnight would be just great for me, too!

[Oatik]

Hopefully everyone got online and is gaming away!

[Morreion]

It worked out great- we got in at midnight on the dot on Tarnished Coast!

I'd heard that NPCs will run up and talk to you if there is an event nearby and I didn't think much of it till it happened to me. I was standing around looking at my points, stats, traits or something when a NPC runs and and is like "Pardon me but" and now I paraphrase...might you come help us as we're getting our a$$es handed to us just about 20 yards over thata way *points*.

I ran over there with the attitude of I will kill these slimes for you good man, fear not! Well, slimes were killed, rewards were given you know how it goes.

But it was cool.

I had that happen to me too Oat- an NPC running up and saying, 'hey, we need help!' with an actual chatty type dialogue. I was startled the first time it happened, I think they even use your name talking to you. I thought it was a roleplayer the first time it happened to me! *laughs*
