GW2 will release when High School Students start class this fall.
Yeah... that's still one of best CPUs out there. I'm guessing you will max easy.
Download speed is soooooo slow... guess that's what happens when the server is completely spammed.
The download isnt P2P?

I was at 50% and had to restart. For some reason the update stopped when they started sending out the emails.
:lol I have the same background. Been using it since we were talking about the Kodan.
Your Firefox tab is giving away how you are passing the time until the beta.

Seems so awkward.
"I heard rumars...that our game features something called world versus world...will that be available as well?"
For those at work...
What to expect:
- Starting experience for Norn, Human and Charr.
- Personal story up to level 20 for all those races/professions.
- Competitive PVP available (two maps, leveled to max, all traits/skills).
- WvW available.
- Lion's Arch available for the first time.
- All maps now have additional chests, boss monsters. Go out and explore!
Hmm? Oh, that. Got into the TERA Beta and that was the default directory name.
Bleh. That'd be pretty lame if true, to have such a long "prepurchase" time in between.
Also. Just out of curious nature, what are the "somethings to work for" in this game? Did they ever say? What's the carrot on the stick here? Is there rated PVP with titles? Cooler looking gear? I'm trying to get a short explanation together for my one friend who's all about the old grinds in MMOs.
I'd said this before, but I'll say it again since the client is officially up.
The speed that the client is reporting isn't the speed you're probably getting. If you note how much data it has downloaded and the actual time it has taken with your clock you'll see that you're likely getting your full speed as I am right now. If it were going at the speed that it says it is, I wouldn't have got 3.3gb already.

Interesting browsing
Having fun. That's your goal.
There's no rush to max level, there's no loot treadmill waiting when you get there.
You're automatically kicked up to max level, with all of your traits and skills unlocked in Competitive PVP, and kicked up to max level for WvW.
Instead of spending your time chasing after some aspect of the game so you can start to have fun, GW2 is actually fun from start to finish.

I'm wondering this too. I left it downloading over night, woke up to see it finished with the client music playing in the background. I closed it, shut down and came back to run it again only to not see where the heck everything was installed. Although, it is nice to see there is a music folder available.
edit: Nevermind I found it.
Ahhh crap.

Had the client downloaded this morning

Seems to download to a encrypted file called GW2.dat in the same folder. The size increase to match what's stated on the download window. I am guessing it will extract and let you install after finishing.
No, that .dat is it.
Your exe is your launcher, your patcher and the actual game exe itself. The .dat is all of the game files in a single file.

right click save link as?
Right, I understand and look forward to that. But isn't there anything to work for, at all, to make yourself different?

Dyes. Lots and lots of dyes.
Also armor and all that good stuff as well. Jira linked to a list that had a lot of this stuff in a arenanet blog post.
I'm pretty sure you can just move the GW2.exe, GW2.dat, and GW2.tmp files to any folder you want and run it from that folder. Obviously this would require you do download the .exe to a location you want it at, and then you would be able to move it anywhere.

No email for me yet
Yep, it's the same link.
Yep.
Super duper. Says I'm downloading at 1.11mb/s but as mentioned earlier, it's going up a lot faster than a meg a second it seems.
Yeah, it's actually downloading much faster than it says it is,

If their previous email roll outs are any indications it could take several hours for everyone to get their emails. No need to panic.
