"Your existing beta characters have not been deleted, and you will be able to continue right where you left off! This means that enterprising players with characters level 35 or higher will be able to test their mettle against the explorable version of the Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon!"

"We have listened intently to all of your feedback from our first Beta Weekend Event, and we’ve made great strides toward resolving many of the issues you’ve helped us identify. These include party movement into overflow servers, chat functionality, key bindings, server stability, performance, and many more that we will detail in the near future."

Everyone REJOICE!

Hope the performance fix is noticable, but still, good stuff... can't wait for it, haven't decided on a class yet, so lots of testing still needed!

Huzzah, finally performance.

I'm glad they delayed last months beta to this month just to fix big bugs, that is perfectly fine by me.

"One of the coolest things that we’ve added to WvW recently is a persistent mini-dungeon that can be accessed through the three keeps in the center map. This area is designed with multiplayer PvP in mind and players can do things like activate the traps in the mini-dungeon to defeat enemy players. Of course, at the end of the area there’s a chest full of rewards.

We also have some exciting plans for WvW post-launch, but of course we don’t want to talk about our post-launch plans until after we ship the game and have had some time to implement things."


Seems there will be even more to WvW later :)

I dl'ed the full software for the first time just a few days ago and I remember putting it on right before I went to sleep and woke up 3 hours later to see it at 40% dling at 600-700kbs. Big game.

not really, its about average these days for MMO's.  APB & SWTOR are both over 30, GW2 hasnt broken 16~ yet.
