    Headstart Launch Plans

    What are you guys doing for headstart launch?
    I was thinking of making my Asuran Elementalist alt first as fast as possible then making my Human Thief main and playing that but im scared I might get booted from all the stress of everyone logging in haha

    firstly im gonna fly through creating 5 chars with the names I wanna get.

    then delete those so i have them reserved for 24 hours, then customize those characters to my liking and have that name for em in my hands

    I'm going to do this. Then I'm going to bed. I have too much to do Saturday to stay up all night playing GW2.

    But when I get home Saturday afternoon...

    So, you can re-create a character with the same name?

    ^This + geting my primary character up to level 15-20. I want to have the option to avoid the crowds in the first zone. Too many players at once is anoying zergy mess. Sit on the leading edge of the wave and you've got enough players around for the fun stuff and can move on when the zerg arrives.

    Once you delete a character that name is free but reserved to your account for 24 hours, so yes.

    I will be waking up every hour from 5am onwards to check if servers are online and save all my names. Then go to sleep and will probably wake up at 9am and start playing!

    Watch Kungens stream until the servers come up, grab a few names, play a little, then back to bed.

    So... Much... Playing. I have high hopes that they can handle the stress, so I'll make my main how I want, then play her until I can't keep my eyes open, which will probably be 24 hours or so.
    <-- That is otterly adorable.

    =D sweet. Now, just to narrow my list of possible names down and organize them in order of names I wish to make... (Yes, OCD much).

    I`ll take my time and enjoy the character creation / races / etc which I did not see / research.
    Then I`ll start as you normally start a game.
    Not concerned about names; I got plenty of funky/strange/funny names.

    If you create a toon, then delete it, the name is reserved for you for 24 hours.

    While I only have the 1 day headstart (it's complicated), I'm going to probably create a few characters right off the bat, and then hop on my charr warrior to hit the Plains of Ashford and complete as many DE, Vistas, etc. as I can.

    And then WvW.
