So is there any reason that I wouldn't be able to register with my GW2 key that I got from pre-purchasing on the GW2 website to my NCSoft account? It says that it's invalid or something.
http://register.guildwars2.com ?

You do understand that they are testing the game, right? Not just kicking it on for a few hours for everyone to poke around and have fun, right? They'll be up when ANet is ready for the test to begin, I would imagine.
Also, Stress Test is under NDA. Just sayin'

Uh, what? I just did it like 15 minutes ago. You can't do it through the NCSoft site.There's no reason to right now. It probably isn't even accepting them.

It would have been cool tough,

I'm not sure this solution is superior to just requiring people to have unique names. I'd rather have to choose something else than be Hawkian.6540 (I think, I already forget mine) just because of some impostor out there.
Wait what? The ingame name is going to have numbers if its not unique?
No matter how unique I make my name it seems someone is going to troll me by using the same name on an empty character slot. I know a couple of my friends would do it.
You can register on the arena net site, but I haven't heard of anyone registering on the NCSoft site.
And our GW1 character names are reserved for us, right?Funny, this. I'm Imposter.1986. Dead serious.
However, people should note that these names will never appear in-game. It's an account name for the official forums and (potentially, unless they require e-mail) signing in to the servers. Your character names are all individual little snowflakes that cast beautiful unique rainbows of creatively original pleasure to everyone who reads them for all time once you get into Tyria.
And our GW1 character names are reserved for us, right?
Character name can now be one word right?
There were one-word names in the beta videos.
Really not looking forward to naming my asura characters. Every asura name I've seen has been one word with five letters or less.
Jesus christ. That's entirely contrary to what I just wrote. Complistic clarified. Except I don't know that account names will be used for the Friends List, given that the way it worked in the last game was fine, with the friends list entry modifying itself for the currently-logged-in character name every time they signed on to a different one.
Woah. You clearly edited it by the time I had already posted. Yes everyone will most likely be a unique snowflake.
I'm following the game very casually and only come to GAF for news on it.
I only mention it as well since it does show up in videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=I4dCoc9ppao#t=51s
EDIT: But it's probably for beta purposes as well EDIT
Fourth, the forums are down/slow/intermittently coming up.
Right hereWhere are the forums even at? I haven't seen mention of where it will actually be, so far. I looked through the guildwars2.com site, and I didn't see any indication it would be in any of those menus.
Word is people who pre-purchased, linked their GW1 account to their GW2 account, and weren't invited to the stress test are able to login for some reason.
Note that I believe they fixed it, but you could always try if you have the client.
So I watched that Game Informer video and you can totally spam your skills and it's totally easymode faceroll amirite guys? I mean random mobs 1-2 shotting you is SO faceroll that I'm considering canceling my prepurchase. Not to mention Jon was leveled down from 80 and he nearly died 2 times during the video, WAY too easy IMO.
I didn't get the right fucking copy did I? I'm worried to use this code as I don't think it's the pre-purchase bonus.
I registered an account, so hopefully it's fine.

People will find skill combinations that will allow you to solo Elite areas and shit. You guys remember the Sin/Ele builds for soloing the underworld and stuff?
I just read the official forum guidelines. THEY ARE AMAZING
I laughed out so loud. So many people are going to get banned. your not allowed to do /petitions, call out arenanet employees, demand an answer, make a thread about "Anet favors elementalists"!
In fact your not allowed to make any claims about what ArenaNet prefers - which is fair, because players can never know, only troll for dramatic effect.
"blue plz" threads are not allowed, and they have the right to ban you for whatever annoying thing you might do. If they can enforce this, GW2s official forum might not become a disaster. We can only hope they are up to the challenge.
Not me. All mounts look the same, they pop out of thin air, break immersion. they suck. people use them to run away and break the action.
if they can implant them in a cool way then yeah. something that serves gameplay, then okay. But look at WoW. screw that stupid shit. being in a town is unbearable because mounts are blocking the screen. and its really lame ones too. like yellow dragons and pokemon creatures and flying carpets and motorcycles. might as well rebrand that game ronald mcdonalds butthole, because that's what it looks like.
They would need total mount customization so every player mount would look unique, it should have gameplay challenges, you should not just be able to magically make it appear out of your backpack. so it should be stored somewhere in the world. it shouldnt be able to aimlessly just be able to auto-aggro mobs and chase them into town.
The problem with mounts and flying mounts ultimately is that its a luxury that makes you stop exploring the the world at a certain pace. once you got mounts your going to mount to just go somewhere 500 feet longer down the road. your not going to explore every cranny and thing. so people become more fast and loose, and thats not good, because you want engaged players who fill up the world, not running quickly through the world at 300% speed increase on a copy pasted orange cat that looks like every other cat model with different skins.
another problem is the scale. once you start riding a horse on fire or a dragon the size of a two story building, your sort of at a peak. it gets hard to top, and you would need rocket engines, and actual charr cranes to top it. many MMOs suffer from this over-itemization of having to 1up themselves constantly. Less is more.
Maybe they can do it, but goddamit is mounts some seriously stupid nonsense in other games. mounts are good for trolling. good for standing inside the mail box, or running in circles on top of the auction house, or ruin the jumping mount animation mid combat to make some sort of flying ashleee simposons dance.
This is an entirely different game where your life can't be sustained constantly like it could in GW1. Then the way skills are designed are very different from GW1 as well. Soloing the hard content is simply off the table when you can only heal yourself once every 30 seconds and dodge twice in succession. I could see possibly soloing a single hard mob or something, but multiple mobs in say a dungeon or elite event setting isn't going to happen.
GAF Please help me out here: After all the pain I've had to go through to get a code, I finally got a call from EBGames today apologizing for the issues and saying that I could pick up my code instore.
Spending forever getting to the store, arriving home I think I just realized something...
I didn't get the right fucking copy did I? I'm worried to use this code as I don't think it's the pre-purchase bonus.
I registered an account, so hopefully it's fine.
So any kind of confirmation on the possible beta next weekend?
Isn't it interesting how much coverage Game Informer is giving GW2 when it RARELY ever does PC coverage at all. They even have a 6 page article in the May issue, they have impressions from both press betas, they have that video released today and a podcast. That's some SERIOUS coverage from a console magazine and that speaks volumes for the types of gamers ANet is going to pull in.

Have this preordered from GameStop not pre-purchased. Do I get any sort of headstart at all on the game? Or is it only for prepurchase?

As Razazgriz mentioned, pre-ordering only gets you 1 day headstart while pre-purchase gets you 3.
Come on man, pay it off and join the cool gang.
