Decided I could stretch to 30 quid to see what it was like, hopefully will get on-line with it this evening. Do I need a specific faction/server to play with you guys?

I'm contemplating this...cant decide if I could get anything out of it with only very small amounts of playtime.

Sorry for lack of play time, myself and Talifer both picked up a tummy bug from the baby over the weekend - way to waste a 3 day head start.

Anyone on Desolation who's after a guild invite should be able to find me for most of today (except 5-8pm) on Wind, Javai or Favail. (in order of likelihood!)

Things I like: Very casual friendly if you want to do some form of pvp just jump right in no need to level no gear raids needed Pretty, the findable vistas show off how pretty the world is Quest hubs are not kill 10 of these and find 5 amulets so you end up killing 50 cos the amulets don't drop.

Desolation is now full - Yrrab's been unable to get it so I'll probably be looking at switching to Gunnar's hold, as its only on medium atm. Shame because desolation were owning in WvW when I was on earlier! When did you say the free transfers were? As far as I know you can already transfer - not s...

Talifer and I will stay where we are to begin with to keep our names, we'll see how it works out as there is always free transfers in a few days time.

We managed to get 10 mins each to make characters. A Norn Engineer/Elementalist Duo Talifer and Wind Raven (had to have a space to get name grrrr). Should be on-line actively playing at around 8pm this evening.

this has to be the worst MMO launch in history .. game opens for headstart .. servers blow up .. no access to login server Actually it's pretty much the same as every other launch I've known. The stress on servers when every single player hits log in servers at once is more than they can take. Usua...

Managed to make a guild in the brief test last night, occurred to me we need a guild name and a 'tag', since the tag is what everyone sees almost as important to choose that as the name itself. I started Fates Chosen, but didn't like the FC tag - that will always be First Cohort in my head. Since yo...

We've got the headstart 3 whole days over a bank holiday weekend - which in our new world translates to 10 hours gameplay if we're lucky :)

Still haven't managed to get any sense out of Talifer (nothing new there though!) but in particular about his class choice. Doesn't look like it matters too much though. I tried the Asura in the last stress test but I found the starting area irritating - too much like WoW's gnomes for my liking so w...

Had a bit more of aplay about last night, trying to decide if Talifer needs to build me a new computer before release date.

Going with a human elementalist and a Norn Guardian with a Mesmer if and when I get time or frustrated at the lack of Mesmers in WvW :)

Did a teenie bit of research and found this: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/5168089#5168089 Will help avoid an unofficial Italian server for example.

Yay for stress tests at peak EU time.

Also saw the list of worlds has been announced, are you guys set on Ring of Fire, only Desolation and Fissure of Woe sound nice :P (not based on anything except their names!)

Thanks for the skills link, cant see any significant 'crowd control' on the Mesmer, but maybe not looking in the right place. Did like the style of the Guardian alot and for pve may well be my first choice, Ele for WvW I think, it's good to make thing go boom :)

It seemed to be a rotation, the Mesmer has something similar with a sword equipped. Could do with a game manual :)

Just took and defended a keep, picked up a load of gold contributions with Mesmer, either the Mesmer was working quite well or most of the people there never took/defended a keep before.

I was also going to say Ranger for Yrrab :)

I think I'll most likely be a Mesmer, though Elementalist also appeals and I can never rule out being a Guardian (but I know I'll hate it in pvp)

Picked up the full 3-day headstart edition. If anyone else is looking for it without wanting to pay £50, there's currently a code (PCGMR-ALLIN-GREEN ) which will bring it down to £37.74 at Green Man Gaming. Serial code delivery is instant. Had to set up two accounts to use it twice but it worked :)
