There is actually a reason for the cap as well. Since guilds can own places in wvw, i could see mega huge guilds really abusing that system.

 

[aramanKain]

Mumble server full ;~;

They just kicked about 15-20 people too

 

[zulfate]

I don't really understand either, but it's probably because I haven't been following the GW2 threads (wanted everything to be new and a surprise at launch). I didn't think the guild would fill up so fast and didn't realize there was such a low guild member max amount. Guess I'll just hang around til invites open up again!

time to make the KIDS TABLE [Gaf2] guild

 

[Ricker]

I'll make a male Norn Mesmer...I bet you wont see many of that hehe...I hope it starts around midnight,EST here and there is no way I can wait till 3 A.M,I'm starting to hit nails already ...12:30 max....please.

 

[Emitan]

oh god so many people

 

[Ken]

I remember being stuck on the character select screen for TOR for like 2 hours trying to work out which class I wanted to be, kinda shitted me lol. With WoW many years ago I knew I wanted to be a mage, was never in doubt.

Probably go Elementalist... but I think I'll be stuck on character select for a while... as for race whichever one looks hottest with my chosen class.

TOR was easy for me since I always wanted to be a trooper and pew pew.

I'm playing with a friend who is an engineer so I want to try something else.

 

[Ningo]

Some kind soul just helped me get to CTC so i got the last point I was after.

Now have the dragon sword, ready to launch!

 

[Verve]

Finally: Play With a Controller (it's fun as hell).

Going to try that for sure in some hours
Didn't know about that package when I first got to play on Tuesday. Hoped there would be something like that, keyboard controls kind of... overwhelmed me as a "console only / xbox 360 contoller for pc" gamer up until now (aside from BF3).
Thanks for the work put into it, will post my impressions once we finally are able to start the action!

 

[Elginer]

ok GAF, I am hyped for this game and have joined the GafGuild forum, sadly GameStop has screwed me and gave me no headstart code but am hyped for Tuesday morning to get in on this!! Looks excellent. As a long time GW1 player it's looking a hell of a lot different but that's cool and scary and I can dig it!

 

[PewPewK]

oh god so many people

Yep. All waiting (not so patiently) for the launch!

 

[ParityBit]

I'll make a male Norn Mesmer...I bet you wont see many of that hehe...I hope it starts around midnight,EST here and there is no way I can wait till 3 A.M...12:30 max....please.

Ditto. The 12 start time, not the Male Norn Mesmer!

 

[Absinthe]

Well that sucks. I was downstairs making dinner and got kicked from Mumble. Now it's full

 

[Emitan]

I wanted to be a smuggler and smug

*smugs*

So what kind of names would be popular to pick? I'm assuming it's like other online games where short and common one word names are the most in demand.

Warrior
Gladiator
Princess
Barbarian
Thug
Pimp
Knight
Dragon
Power
Strong
Legend
Cartman
Valor
and so on

These type?

Lesson learned. Take your headset with you to make dinner.

Vash The Stampede

Every CS game when I was younger had 1 of these in them

Just pre-purchased the game 3 hours before it starts. Phew, lol

Yep, of course there are a ton more but you get the idea.

These servers are going to melt into a puddle of slag as soon as they flip them on.

Yeah, but if combined with other names they are still valid. Right? I don't get the rush to reserve names.

 

[Absinthe]

I would need a very long wire for that

 

[Mothman91]

That's why they are "secretly" opening the servers 3 hours earlier!

Spoiler

Hopefully.

 

[Emitan]

25 minutes to 3 hours

 

[Complistic]

Could be 20 minutes.
Could be 3 hours and 20 minutes.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

So when you pick a name is it just for that class/race... like if I picked Princess for an Asura Engineer character, it can't transfer to another if i wanna reroll the character? I don't know how to phrase this question, hopefully you get what im sayin. And how many characters can you have

[Fletcher]

I've been sleeping since I got home and just woke up now to play

 

[Audioboxer]

I awaken! Just had roughly 6 hours sleep.

 

[inky]

I would go for Ash Ketchum and Taylor Swift but they probably are already gone.

Quote the second post in this thread.

 

[Jack_AG]

For those unable to get on the official Mumble due to capacity I have an overflow:

Damn you guys, kind of getting the urge of thinking clever names.

Grab another slice could take from 20 minutes to 3 hours

 

[Forkball]

I highly doubt anyone will steal my thief name XxXsEpHiR0tHXxXSSJ3

 

[Drkirby]

Should have hopped on the mumble sooner, I didn't expect 75 slots to be completely full.

I now feel like making characters with highly generic names like Bob and Tim.

 

[Etheus]

GuildSource just casted an awesome spvp match. I'm not sure if they're gonna cast another before launch. It was amazingly close. PVP in this game lookes incredible.

Sounds like a good name. Thanks

 

[Ricker]

You would be surprised... ;P

 

[Shrennin]

I can hear everyone, but it's not letting me speak. First time using Mumble and I fail at it. T_T

 

[Smiley90]

Got my Main, Race and Name. Rest will follow tomorrow or so. -rubs hands-.

 

[Hawkian]

Headstart Begins in 3 hours, 20 minutes or less
Server: (NA) Stormbluff Isle
(EU) Gandara

Purchases from ArenaNet, for the moment, still seem to carry headstart access (beginning in 2-5 hours).
Amazon codes are out. Other versions are iffy.
Sign-ups for the guild are TEMPORARILY closed as we sort through the 400+ members we've got so far.
Best NVIDIA Drivers to use are apparently 304.79.


If you're just joining us and find Jira's OT a bit much to parse:

First: Holy Crap Gamescom Trailer. (720p or you're a terrible person)

Next: Tutorial Video (Watch if you have no idea what the game is like)
and
Seriously All These Things Get You XP in Guild Wars 2

Then:
Little Things that Make Guild Wars 2 Awesome

Also Fucking Bullet Casings Make Different Fucking Sounds on Different Surfaces

Plus Pigeons Come and Carry Your Mail. Anywhere.

Finally: Play With a Controller (it's fun as hell).

(thanks Sethos)

 

[phaonaut]

I took a nap and now mumble is full , at least I got some rest.

I keep hearing myself
