When it's done but the retail is giving August as a date, which sounds possible.
I'm guessing some time in the fall. |

So why are so many of you giving them money already? |

I'm still a little dubious about the whole taking money thing. You take money, you're supposed to ship within 30 days or provide a notice of when you're going to ship.

Plus, I would rather blow my quarterly gaming budget on a prepurchase than anything that is currently available. |

Because it is at a state (after watching 30+ videos) where I am 100% certain I am going to buy it. So I might as buy it now and play the BWE.

This and two beta weekends will provide more play time than most of the games I've bought in the last couple years. |

It's like Kickstarter but with a greater than 90% chance of actually releasing a product people will want to buy. |

Is it me, or does the patcher not resume from where it left off if you close the thing and start it up later?

I've been downloading the better part since Wolf posted that earlier link, and I'm still on 118k Files Remaining count.
Around 5 Mb/min, going by the Downloaded MB count (not the displayed rate which some have said is wrong anyhow).
Normally I have never seen < 100 Kb/sec download.

For download time budgeting, can someone confirm how much additional download % relative to the first big ~190,000 file one will follow once it finishes the first one?
Maybe none if they haven't yet made any new patches, but I have no way to know atm.

I started it up this morning with that thought in mind and there was a small download. Nothing of notice though, pretty much over before I thought about checking the size.
The big download must have been pretty fresh.

We don't know for definite. They've said they're planning to have at least one per month. I'd expect a minimum of 3 or 4 of these weekend events plus an open beta.

It did a small (8 files) download this morning when I launched it. If it's like GW you won't find big mega patches prior to starting the game, instead they download a few small patches (essentially launcher updates) then the game launches and they stream the new or changed content while you play. To keep current just launch the game once a day or so and it will download whatever new stuff is out there. |

All of them. How many until release is unknown. Most likely once a month for the short term. |

When I bought the CE version from gamestop I nearly walked out of the store before I realized I wasnt given a beta code. After waiting in line an arguing with some indignant shit smeared CoD mongoloid that the beta events weren't "over two weeks ago", I received a separate print out with the code. |

Probably population locking for the beta weekend, but it's still a really weird move to do with no explanation.

They might just be out of codes and have to generate a bunch more. These things typically don't just generate the codes on the fly every time someone requests one.

Yeah, but it's still funny that the quantity limited CE is still available.

Completely different, especially since gw2.com isn't selling those but linking to the retailers that are. |

I was weak, and pre-ordered this because I really want a new MMO to play. How super-cool-awesome are the items you can inherit or whatever for having played GW1? I've never done so, and I'm wondering if it'd be worth picking them up on the cheap.

Starts 3:00am for me, so with a moderate sleep in they'll either have the servers up or have given up by the time I wake. This has got to be the stress test if they're restricting entry.

That assumes that is up and running for beta and doesn't come crashing down. Given they're not allowing "guesting" I wouldn't be surprised if some of that is still work in progress or in need of a real stress test.

Check the "GW2 Bat Country" thread for that.
Nice bribe though :)
