ArenaNet just announced on Facebook that a stress test will be on August 2nd!
We will be conducting a stress test on Thursday, August 2 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time.
Unlike previous stress tests, we will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed. Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch. By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game! ~RB2
This could be the last time we get to play GW2 till release!
Make sure to update your client and drop a line in the forums!


I know it may sound lazy but it'd be great if they posted at least 2 time zones one for US and one for EU we rarely use pacific time around here and it's a pain to whip up a site just for that, if you tell me the GMT equivalent I'd know in 1 second what time I need to be logging in......not to mention, those PDT etc mess things up sometimes......
Just curious ... Will we be able to play our toons from BWE 3?
@Peekablue Celesti Characters will not be wiped for this Stress test, as per their facebook post.
