hello guys, one short question from me:
I have bought the digital pre-purchasable version of GW2. There will be no events / testing from now on until the release date, correct (no way to log-in and see anything in game )?
thank you.

It seems more likely that there will be 2 or 3 more stress tests before release. There was a major update of the client during the one 2 days ago, (which did indeed give a 5 minute warning and allowed immediate re-log in after downloading the update) and it seems very very likely, given ArenaNet's desire to polish the game, that there will be more stress tests. I'd suggest checking either of the following forums for announcements.
guildwars2forum.com or guildwars2guru.com/forum
If you'd like to know the background of the game, from the developer's point of view, they have 3 years of blog posts that contain a lot of information about the game and lore: arena.net/blog/category/guild-wars-2
Also, be sure to start up the game every 2-3 days. They've been pushing out updates. 3 since the end of BWE3 2 weeks ago. Devs have encouraged this so you won't have much, if anything, to download when the game goes live.
Have fun. I've only been in BWE3 and the most recent stress test, but it's great so far!
(Since I'm new here, they're not letting me post full links - thus the abbreviated ones above.)
i don`t want to research the game too much. i want it to be a surprise, and hopefully a pleasant one.
I will follow your advice with the launcher and see where that goes, thank you.
is gw2 still playable atm? or is it closed till 25th?
Right now we've had all 3 BWE's, and 3 stress tests. We are 100% sure that the BWE3 was the final one. We had a stress test after that. Head start begins in 19 days (I love how that sounds after waiting since 2007 ) so it's possible that there will be another stress test before launch.
However...
I would advise against playing in the stress test if you haven't been ingame yet. Keep the game fresh for release so you can enjoy it to the fullest.
Yeah.. if you have managed to go this long without playing, you don't want to play during a 4hour stress test filled with zones not loading and character's not able to log in.
I found your introductory topic for GW2 very helpful. I wanted to ask your permission if I could use it as a turtorial topic on my guilds website? With link and credits leading back you, or any additional GW2 website you're part of and want to be credited.
Thank you for your time.

i plan on playing gw2 for a really long time.. i hope i dont get dissapointed
Not sure if this has been asked;
I know the longbow tooltip described more damage per farther away, but can anyone confirm the shortbow damage increase if you're closer? If not and it's only applicable to certain skills, then that'd be nice to clarify on the OP. Thank you.Originally Posted by OP

No shortbow does more damage closer or farther away from the target. However longbow does more damage farther away but its only for longbow1.
How many raw character slots are available from launch?
Will the servers have different timezones? Just wondering so me and my friends can make a choice .-.
FYI- There is a stress test this evening- Friday, August 10th, 2012 from 4PM PST until 8PM PST.
So i've been playing SWTOR and wasn't interested at all in this game till a friend of mine told me to look at a video of top 10reasons to play GW2....after reading the majority of the 1st post, i think i'll be buying this game
