To go home that weekend or not...

Pros, clothes get washed, free cooked meals for three whole days, lots of food that I don't have to portion so as not to run out to early in the week, get to visit girlfriend and other friends, basically live a normal life...

Cons, can't play in the event, no computer, no computer, can't play in the event, can't play GW, can't play in the event, can't play in the event, don't get to see girlfriend...

Its hard...maybe I'll just bring my computer home that weekend with me...

The way I think there going to do it for current accounts is when you click edit account in guild wars there is a part that says add access keys and from there you would add the key given to you for the weekend and that might give you 1-2 extra char. slots on your account for the weekend.

Thats just my opinion and I could be wrong but it's the most logical way to do it

fallot · Jan 11, 2006, 04:04 AM // 04:04

Maybe they will give you an extra slot forever, we've been pining for one for ages. This event could be an excuse to add a lot of content to the current game.

I guess we will have to all post on our respective guild fora about what our preview characters' names are to make sure we can contact each other to play together.

O dam im in the wrong chatroom! I thought the name of the game was Guild Wars But anyways i logged in to see this and was like W O W I had to bold/underline/italic that. I have an Xbox 360, PSP, DS and every other system ( i know i know wat ur thinking . . dam rich boy ) Well i say HAHAHA *sticks out tounge* I dont care if HALO 3 IS FREE IM GETTING FACTIONS. RED GORED ENGINE ETC ETC! I am pre ordering it. and I am making a list of excuses not to leave my room for that weekend ( does my internet needs fixing sound good? ) Bottom line this has to be THE most hyped thing since the release. O YEAH I went there! READ IT AGAIN IF U R NOT A BELIEVER. I hope they dont screw this up for me . .. . Hopefully you wont see on Jan 23. on the news " Angry GW Fanboy enters rage. Shoots computer and Skips town. Tonight at 11."

I currently have 4 characters for PvE.. so no free space for this event if it mean i have to create a PvP character for it. But like the poster that said using the special key to add into your existing account to join the event sound better than buying another cope of Guild Wars or delete one of your character to make room.

Either way, if i have to kill off one of my character.. bye bye elementlist! and hello to PvP events!

True dat, but as a PvE player ya still gotta love we should see -

Attribute points and SKILLS for the new classes!
Hopefully some of the new skills for current classes!
Get to mix and match them across class/class!
Get to see new artwork/armor/weapons for the new classes!

Even a PvE heavy has to like that

I'm kinda looking forward to getting back to some PvP (slotted out :b)
Would be awesome during my delivery of ownage if I acrue faction I keep too

I'm already making builds on the trickle of info I got before I heard of this, so yes I'm a bit stoked

If we got two slots now (and even get to keep the 2 new characters in statis till release... haha.. well guess that'd only matter for PvE and I dont think this is that) and end up with 8 total @ expansion time I will submit total domination to the GW dieties that will not free me from their icy grasp!

(well ok some inventory too

)

Sir Skullcrasher · Jan 11, 2006, 05:04 AM // 05:04

I was wondering if at this event, you not only can try out as the two new race but also used existing type characters like a necro, monk, elementlist, or others against this. This way we can figure out strategy and build to counter assassins or ritualist's attacks or spells.

The PS3, the Rev and GW2. A possibility, but I heard that Halo 3 was slated for a christmas release.

Didn't Bill say something about releasing it on the same day as PS3? Anyways I'm excited too. I have some very new tombs build ideas.

SoloMio · Jan 11, 2006, 08:02 AM // 08:02

So, if we play in the preview event and then buy our copy of GW2 within 30-60 days (for example), will ArenaNet allow us to keep our current Characters as they are?

Calahan · Jan 11, 2006, 08:53 AM // 08:53

I see no point in that. These will be only PvP characters , right?

Kassad · Jan 11, 2006, 09:04 AM // 09:04

Ok... im so confused, whats happening? Do I just have to login into GW on 20-22 to play new chapter? Do need something else? Can anyone fill me in?

Arcador · Jan 11, 2006, 09:05 AM // 09:05

Pretty cool

We will meet on the islands for the testing

jimmy_logic · Jan 11, 2006, 09:29 AM // 09:29

So cool... can't wait. Want to try a Ritualist/Necromancer when it comes out. Dark priest that practice the dark arts awesome!!! :P

I see slashdot snubed the weekend. Thats very, suspicious. Much more so when other geek sites treated the news as a major chunk of news for the day. Anyone else think so?
