"We’ll be conducting a stress test on Monday May 14 from 11 AM to 6:00 PM PDT (-7 GMT).

This special test event is open only to Pre-Purchase customers who have registered their accounts. With your help, we can conduct important tests and address some of the issues we identified during our first Beta Weekend Event. During this event, all you need to do is play normally with a new or existing character on your Beta account using the same game client. Please note that since this is a stress test of our servers, you may experience some in-game performance issues. If you’ve pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 and wish to participate in the stress test, we recommend that you register the account and download the game client.

Pre-Purchase customers, log in to the Beta Forums for more information and/or to download the Beta client if needed.

They should let us stress test a whole week.

[Thovex]

Well that will be a perfect way to celebrate handing in 17000 words of dissertation/thesis on monday

Remember how it was "sign in for the beta for free, and get a chance to hop in".

And now, it's all "pre-purchase costumers". Guess too many bought the game already, so they don't care about the others. Because usually, stress test means 'bring a LOT of people'.
Shame on them.

Previous stress test was pre-purchasers only too. And even from the pre-purchasers only 10% was invited.

Last BWE they had they actually put it "sold out" for that weekend, so you couldn't buy the game.

It's impossible to be sold out with a digital copy, but I'm assuming they did that to control the influx of people. Which I'm sure was A LOT.

[Bulzur]

I know.
I'm definitely blaming all those pre-pruchasers, not the GW team.

I'm so excited. I didn't get to par-take in last BWE so hopefully the servers won't implode and everything will be fine.

I'll be playing through this whole thing, any tips you guys got? I'll be going thief. I plan on WvWvW'in for like 3-4 hours.

unlock your weapon skills in pve first, then goto WvW.  skill learning in WvW was bugged or very slow.

also local chat in WvW zone was readable by all factions, unless they changed or fixed it..so cant use it to coordinate.  I think /team may work though

I was like I'm gonna play PvE for most of the time to check out amazing world.

Ended up 80% I was in WvW - Also Necromancer is awesome in WvW.
