It would be nice to be able to switch between servers depending on what you are looking for.

For our first Beta Weekend Event (April 27-29), home-world selection and world transfers will work just as they will when Guild Wars 2 launches.

When you log in to the game for the first time, you will have the opportunity to pick any available server, or home world. If you choose to select a home world that is in a different region from where you purchased your game, you will be logged out for a short period of time while your account is moved to your new region. Once you have selected a home world, all the characters you create will play on this world and will represent it in our world-versus-world (WvW) format.

While you can change your home world, there is a limit of one world transfer every seven days per account and a charge of 1,800 gems for each transfer. A world transfer moves all of your existing characters to your new home world. Any subsequent characters you create will also play in this new home world.

When Guild Wars 2 launches, you will also have the option to play with your friends on another world with our free “guesting” feature. With guesting, your characters can play on any world where you have friends—with certain restrictions. For instance, you will not be able to participate in WvW while guesting.

While home-world selection and world transfers will be available during our Beta Weekend Event, guesting is not currently available. All players will be able to receive 2,000 gems free for the Beta Weekend Event, so you will be able to purchase a world transfer if you find yourself in need of one. Since the limit is one transfer every seven days, you’ll only be able to change worlds once during the Beta Weekend Event.

We strongly recommend that you plan ahead and choose your server before the event begins on April 27.

Actually, I expect at least a little RP. Mainly because certain people intend to roll there, too.

Does anyone know how to turn -off- Auto-play? I accidentally clicked it on the Launcher, and now I can't turn it off, the login screen just pops up too fast.
On a similar vein - How does one adjust the screen resolution on the Login Screen ;_;. It's terribly out-of-whack for me, after I got a new monitor.

There's a cog in the upperleft corner of the log-in screen, leads to the game menu.

I pre-purchased it a few hours ago! Happy, happeeeeeeh. I'm so hyped about this. Can't wait!

Damn nice download speed. Wish Blizzad would give me speeds above 1mb/s

Will be on Desolation as Tarcus. FriendID's Flocraft.

The beta servers have been up for over an hour apparently. I was able to login about 20m ago but the world server crashed just as I finished the personal story. Crazy character customisation options <3

But yeah, login issues at this very moment.

by **Velynia** Fri Apr 27, 2012 7:09 pm

Beta servers be going crazy!

And then I got crashed in this middle of a level 8 event, as a level 3, wielding a stave with one skill! Logging back in will be fun x)

by **Ron Sexton** Fri Apr 27, 2012 8:15 pm

It's been working just fine for me throughout the hour!

by **Ave/Sariella** Fri Apr 27, 2012 8:41 pm

Mine not working, sadface Sad

by **Halya** Fri Apr 27, 2012 9:10 pm

I get on sometimes, but never past character select. And the forum's been down for almost 3 hours now.

by **Kristeas Sunbinder** Fri Apr 27, 2012 9:15 pm

The forum is up for me :3

by **Halya** Fri Apr 27, 2012 9:16 pm

Then can you tell me if tech support have said anything? The forum crapped out while I was f5'ing a thread of people getting the log in errors.

by **Kristeas Sunbinder** Fri Apr 27, 2012 9:20 pm

Lots of different error codes, can't find an answer yet.

by **Ave/Sariella** Fri Apr 27, 2012 9:25 pm

They're apparently working on some trouble, that's all i've gathered.
