Guild Wars 2 Stress Test Next Week

[Jun 21, 2012, 1:07 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The ArenaNet Blog announces plans to stress test the servers for Guild Wars 2 next Wednesday, and invites all those who have participated in previous beta events or pre-purchased the game to participate:

We were very pleased with how our servers performed during our second Beta Weekend Event, but we want to gather additional data on how they operate under load before the next one.
That’s where you come in.

All players who have pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 are invited to participate in our upcoming stress test. This four-hour test event will run on Wednesday, June 27th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. PDT (GMT-7).

We won’t wipe characters for this event, so if you played in our previous betas, you can pick up right where you left off. All we need you to do is log in and have fun—leave the stress to us!

I pre-purchased and am wondering why they don't allow us to beta like everyone else. Unless something has changed in the last month or so... I know for a fact they have had an ongoing beta for more than six months now since I know several people who are in and are allowed to play pretty much when they want to.

I hope they do a REAL stress test: An open beta. The open beta for Torchlight 2 convinced me to preorder it. Since I've never played GW, the opportunity to try it out might convince me to shell out for it.

On the other hand, the open beta for Diablo III convinced me NOT to buy it, so if they're going to have problems like that, maybe it's in there best interest not to...




Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.
