I think I heard/read somewhere that they will release the character creation before the actual game so everyone can create his character and be ready for the release. Is this true? I have not yet pre-ordered the game, but if I do pre-order, will I be able to create my character before game goes live and also lock a name for?

pre-Character creation?
The problem when you make a game F2P is systems need to be designed around annoying players enough to pay. Some games are less annoying than others, but at their core they need to give you a reason to spend money.
So, while F2P games annoy you into spending money, subscription games entertain you so you keep your subscription.

in an interview they said it's not possible to do that. I'm going to look for the source.
Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money.
They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.

If you want to reserve a name just create a character with the name you want and delete it when you create your panda/monk
Please, post constructively. --FencersLast edited by Fencers; 2012-08-12 at 05:57 PM.

There was a way to lock in your characters names, but only if you have GW1, and I believe the deadline for reserving names has already passed. Originally Posted by papajohn4

hehe, It happened to me too, when I get a link from the home page, thats why now I always look at the forum path :P Originally Posted by Aeluron

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/...ro-gamer-expo/Will there be anything like a pre-launch character creation option for those that would like 1, i.e something you could pre-design your characters appearence with, so that people can simply load their pre-designed character/s, then do the biography questions, name it and jump into the game?
A. This seemed very unlikely by what I could glean from Theo, they were not even aware of the thread concerning this topic, he also stated that if they did do this now it may delay the release of the game and that is what they are focued on at this time. If it is something that the community really would want anything is really an option for the future, they do read the forums ( they knew they wouldn't be able to answer most of our questions ) and they are very active in seeking communication with the GW2 player base, all ideas are passed on and they do express alot that we continue to put forward our ideas. Again they are concentrating on getting the game completed.Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money.
