The Forum is up and running

Thanks to Red Focalor, the site is up and we know that Vent has been updated.

I would like to get a tally of those whom we know are going to GW2.

Finally figured out my issue with logging in. The new computer keyboard doesn't have a light indicating Caps Lock so I originally set it reversed. Anyway, I couldn't leave a post in the Beta events thread since I wasn't an admin so I'll post here.

During previous server discussions we decided to use the second of three servers thinking it may be less populated. Purely guesswork but it's as good as any other reason.

Still waiting for an email from ANet. Hope they get something out soon. I was hoping to take Friday off and explore but it doesn't look like I'll be able to do that now. Anyway, wifey has been alerted and signed off on the fact that I'll be "unavailable" most of the weekend.

Hope to see you all ITNG.

Not a bad idea... From the info I have they are naming the servers or worlds by the town names from the original GW... Lion's arch is one of them...

Choosing and Transferring Worlds in Guild Wars 2

BY MARTIN KERSTEIN APRIL 24TH, 2012 more on: betadev updateserver

For our first Beta Weekend Event (April 27-29), home-world selection and world transfers will work just as they will when Guild Wars 2 launches.
When you log in to the game for the first time, you will have the opportunity to pick any available server, or home world. If you choose to select a home world that is in a different region from where you purchased your game, you will be logged out for a short period of time while your account is moved to your new region. Once you have selected a home world, all the characters you create will play on this world and will represent it in our world-versus-world (WvW) format.
While you can change your home world, there is a limit of one world transfer every seven days per account and a charge of 1,800 gems for each transfer. A world transfer moves all of your existing characters to your new home world. Any subsequent characters you create will also play in this new home world.
When Guild Wars 2 launches, you will also have the option to play with your friends on another world with our free “guesting” feature. With guesting, your characters can play on any world where you have friends—with certain restrictions. For instance, you will not be able to participate in WvW while guesting.

While home-world selection and world transfers will be available during our Beta Weekend Event, guesting is not currently available. All players will be able to receive 2,000 gems free for the Beta Weekend Event, so you will be able to purchase a world transfer if you find yourself in need of one. Since the limit is one transfer every seven days, you’ll only be able to change worlds once during the Beta Weekend Event.
We strongly recommend that you plan ahead and choose your server before the event begins on April 27.

Crim had suggested Darkhaven

You guys know if there will be a character wipe after the beta? Since we're picking a home world and all.

Lets just assume there will be....aside from the 3 day head start we should assume that you cant keep your characters, this is a beta after all.

Been Doing the beta for a day now

IN LOVE going to move to Darkhaven once the servers come back up. Is anyone else in guild on the beta right now?

yeah im in the game....been playing on Sorrows Furnace.....been having a problem transfering.....I got stuck with sorrows Furnace since the Closed beta...I still had the same account and server also kept the Guild with me...I did loose all the characters I build from the closed beta

Yep, they will be wiping the characters. Thus we get a 3 day head start before full public release.
