what was karma in the game again?
A currency you earn from completing events, which can be used to purchase things from Heart vendors, as well as a few karma vendors in town.

PVE currency. When you complete quests/events you get awarded with Karma that you can spend on items.
Yeah, should be no problem.
It's a currency used for buying weapons, armor, trinkets, cooking materials, etc.
I'll be downloading and installing it once I get home from work.

Thanks, that sounds vaguely familiar from the Beta. I think I only bothered buying a staff so didn't mess with shop currency and such much.
If you remember, when you finished an event you'd see a few icons next to the medal showing your "score"; the purple triangle is the amount of Karma you earned. The other two icons are for XP and coins.
Wait. What about those that bought the pre-purchase version of the game that had early access?
Do they not get early access?
I notice that Amazon.com flagged the game in my games/software library as a pre-order that can be canceled and removed the code. I already got my code and paid before this though and created my Guild Wars 2 account. Are they just sold out of the pre-purchase? Or doing away with the early access in general for all but the deluxe version basically trying to screw those that prepaid?
Anyone know?

Hey guys, look where we can all hang out after we ding level 40ish:
(thanks Kos)
What is that? Does the GAF guild own that keep or is it just a zone in the game?
It's an area within a zone.
If you didn't dig too much into it, then you may not have noticed that for every Heart quest you complete, the NPC associated with that quest (they will be at the location of the heart on your map) begins selling exclusive items that can only be bought with Karma once the quest is complete. Always make sure to check these before leaving the area.
Also, you can sell items to these NPCs in order to help clear out your inventory without going back to town.
Sorry, what now? You'll be able to play in 7-10 hours.
It's a area in the game south of Lion's Arch THAT GAF RIGHTFULLY OWNS
No, just a 40-50 zone in the game world, I didn't know it was included. Apparently it's chock full of pirates.

This pic just made me dream of a more open ended MMO-like game in which each server could actually be it's own piece of land, like a nation. Someday...

Dynamic events. There is a heart right there so we can probably clear them out and claim the place for ourselves!

Dammit man, dont do that. You're making me second guess my digital best buy pre-purchase now (only cause I had gift cards there).
Nope, it actually plays completely differently. If you want a GW1 clone this isn't it, and that's coming from someone who played GW1 for thousands of hours. I can tell you I'm really digging what they've done though.

Fuck yeah. Vinci is going to scout it out for us (using a technique known as "naked running") tonight, and then I say we find the coolest waypoint to make the official GAF hangout once we make it to the right level.
It will probably will be hard to find. The game store chains don't carry anything not named WoW or The Sims. Maybe try a gray market near you...

well i've settled on the thief as my first toon to roll
Now i'm torn on what race to choose. Is there somewhere that shows the different races aesthetics in that class?
Charr warrior seems to fit. But for thief i'm wondering if a Charr is too big. Is there a starting zone that stood out or are they all about the same

Anyone know how to check if your account registered properly to receive the 3 day head start? I bought the code off eBay, and did the registration properly, but when I log into my account it doesn't indicate anywhere I will have access to the 3 day head start.
I also have the client still installed from the beta event, do I have to download a different client? Or did all the updates patch it to the retail client?

Perpetually throw down those Guild Banners and claim that place for us
Do you have the client?
Sorry I was talking about just Amazon.com and what they're doing with the game.
If you look up Guild War 2 there on the digital side they just have the Standard edition and the Deluxe with beta access. What they had listed before was "pre-purchase" for both standard and deluxe with early access (3 day). I got the pre-purchase version from them. My card was charged and I got my code from my games/software library on my Amazon.com account. I created my GW2 account already as well. Looking at my library now the code is gone and the order itself is flagged as if it was a normal PC game preorder that can be canceled. That just concerned me.
My GuildWars2.com account works still and the game is still listed as being downloadable so I hope I'm okay and whatever game Amazon.com is trying to pull won't affect me. I was just really worried there and was wondering what was going on.
Edit: Was getting the same message as tenz0r. ""Either there is no current Guild Wars 2 event or this account is not authorized to participate in one etc"".
Yeah, its the client from the beta, but it has been updating so I thought it was patched to the retail client (Star Wars Old Republic did this), and when I try to log in it says
"Either there is no current Guild Wars 2 event or this account is not authorized to participate in one etc"
So I am guessing I might need to download a different client, since I am still using the beta one.
nope, you're good
There is only one client for the game, the message is accurate because the game is not live yet ; )

Starting zones are rather unimportant as you can go to any starting zone you like to level, so don't let that be a basis for your characters race.
I originally was going to do Charr thief, but I did feel they were too big to properly showcase the animations on the thief, wound up going with human instead. I really base my race/class choice by the animations.
Here's the thing- there are armor classes, not class armors.
That is:
On the contrary, using that very client you will be able to play Guild Wars 2 in 6.5-9.5 hours (I am beginning to shake in a disconcerting manner).
I'm always prepared for that possibility. In real life too.

you do not need to download a new client , thats the message anyone gets when trying to log in to the game
Sorrow's Furnace I believe, if necessary...

So does it start 12AM EST? or 3AM EST?

Anywhere in between those times. The whole reason they are doing this is so we don't all hit the login button at once and crash their servers.

yea i was thinking charr at first but feel they're probably too big. Probably save the Charr for the warrior.
I usually never pick human if given a choice but maybe this time. Although the Asura thief would be pretty fun
