Guild Wars 2 Launch Times

[slingblade]

Pre-Purchase with 3-Day Headstart: Everyone who pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 will enjoy three full days of Headstart Access. The three-day Headstart Access will officially begin at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 25th. However, please note that in order to ensure that we’re fully prepared for that fateful hour we may bring servers online up to 3 hours prior. If you’re a player committed to getting in first to grab that character name of your dreams you’ll want to be keeping an eye on things during that time period.

Pre-Order with 1-Day Headstart: Those who pre-ordered Guild Wars 2 will be able to participate in one day of Headstart Access. The one-day Headstart Access will begin at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 27th. NOTE – Pre-Order code registration is now enabled.

For those players who have not pre-purchased or pre-ordered the game, Guild Wars 2 will officially launch at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 28th.

Download the Client today: If you’ve registered your pre-purchase or pre-order and created your Guild Wars account you can go to account management today and download the client. Be sure to update the client periodically to minimize your download at launch.

I did a physical pre-purchase via a game store : still waiting for an email to go to pick it up. I will call or go see them on Saturday if I don't hear anything from them.

If you prepurchased you should already have your key and be ready to go, shouldn't you? I did digital pre-prepurchase, so not sure how it's supposed to work for you.

I did physical pre-purchase as well. I got a code from Gamestop on my receipt which I entered online to unlock the beta events.

Yes, I got a key for the betas. I should visit the game store today (and tommorow, if necessary) and I'll try to log on without any discs that I might get from the game store if I get them late.

Logged on to the headstart usuing the beta suff. Got DC'd quite a bit the 1st day, then could only log on for 2 or 3 minutes at night before getting DC'd. Game store says to use the beta info to play the headstart; a website says the physical purchasers will have 5 days to use new code from the physical purchase to continue play, uninterrupted. Here's hoping for minimal DCs on day 2.
