Guild Wars 2?

Any gems you buy now (and spend) will be available on your account at release.

I’m confused, why would people pay money (after july 21) to transfer a beta character that will be deleted on release?

[i]Q: What happens to the gems that I purchase during BWE3? Do I get to keep them?
A: All beta data will be completely wiped before launch, including the gems purchased during beta events. However, we will keep track of how many gems you purchased during Beta Weekend Event 3, and you will receive that amount of gems on your account once Guild Wars 2 launches.

Q: Will I keep the items that I purchased with the gems?
A: No, all beta data will be completely wiped before launch, including the items you purchased during beta events. However, we will keep track of how many gems you purchased during Beta Weekend Event 3, and you will receive that amount of gems on your account once Guild Wars 2 launches.

Q: I bought something with my gems, but I don’t want it anymore. Can I get my gems back?
A: No. Once you spend your gems on something in the Gem Store, you cannot get a refund for the transaction. However, we will keep track of how many gems you purchased during Beta Weekend Event 3, and you will receive that amount of gems on your account once Guild Wars 2 launches.[/i]

A message to Eric if you are reading this. Will ArenaNet be adding authenticator options to Guild Wars 2 accounts? The account doesn’t seem to be that secure at this time. I know GW1 has the special question checks and also requires typing in one of your pre-existing character names at login.

GW was not secure. My GW account was hacked and presumably sold while I was inactive. I was able to get it back but everything was gone and not restorable.

It’s getting to the point authenticators should just ship with an MMO. Or be a pre-order for people that go digital. Bah.

Your world/server is based on your account and I imagine the account settings will retain what world you’re on from beta to release. Plus as others have said you get your gems that you buy during BWE3 back for release.

Or just make a mobile App like the Google Authenticator.

Nope. Everything going to be wiped like it was for this BWE.

There will indeed be authenticators.

I hope you guys do the usual and offer them via Android/IOS!

So is it true that they will keep track of how many gems we purchase during Beta Weekend Event 3, and we will receive that amount of gems on our account once Guild Wars 2 launches?

Start your engines guys! I was able to log in <3 gw

The Sylvari starting zone is soooooo pretty. The race looks more alien than I imagined though.

They added in a bunch of new graphical options, so check them out. :D

lordkosc · 2012-07-20T11:36:22.000Z

What server should I pick?

Harkonis · 2012-07-20T11:43:00.000Z

I’m on Yak’s Bend, no clue where other people are. I just decided. :P

lordkosc · 2012-07-20T11:44:35.000Z

Gah I forgot to patch , so it will probably be an hour or two till I can play, and of course this weekend I am so busy I’ll be lucky to get 5 hours in.

It will be enough to let me decide if I keep my pre-order or not. :)

I’ll sign up for Yak’s Bend when I get in also.

KevinC · 2012-07-20T11:49:45.000Z

I’m desperately trying to bolster my willpower to not play this weekend in order for the release to be new and fresh. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to hold out.

lordkosc · 2012-07-20T11:54:08.000Z

Fast patch was fast, omg now what class and profession to choose. D:

Have they reworked the engineer like they were talking post BWE2? If so try that out and share your thoughts!

lordkosc · 2012-07-20T11:57:12.000Z

Nord Female Engie , only level 4 atm.

Game is very pretty, at least the Nord area. I love how the quest dialog pops you into this 1v1 chat screen.

I am a bit confused where to get a better weapon, but I figure one will come along soon.

Pretty amazing amount of content for a no monthy fee MMO.
