I'll be rolling on Gandara with a few RL friends, might take you up on that offer
Me too actually! I reckon this game would be even better with a few friends, and non of my RL friends play MMO's anymore.
Played around with Char creator a lot and tried out necro and ranger , wanted to try pvp but couldnt get it to work at all , i assumed it was just down/broken.
Think i have myself nailed down to norn/nerco now and looking forward to the weekend.

Great fun last night, ended up wandering into the swamp in Queensdale, happened across some underworld portals, more people turned up, we followed the quest chain through and by the end there was about 50 of us laying the smack down on a huge Shadow Behemoth 
Best fun I've had on the betas! Can't wait for Saturday now ^_^
Also, was it just me, or was GW2 really giving GPU's a thrashing now! My 7850 fan was going crazy keeping trying to keep the card cool! When in every other game I never even hear it! :|

Where should i pre-order this from ?
OCUK to get the code in a box for £35? no quickstart
Or should i order from the game's website and pay for the quickstart, im really not too fussed, but £15 for 3 days early access seems a little silly.

I had about an hour with the game last night to try a guardian. I think I've decided I don't want to be a melee character. I found it very 'messy' in combat, I couldn't really tell when enemies were attacking me because there were so many players and enemies in the melee, had no idea when to use dodge as a result.
I'm thinking either a hunter (bow with sword as last resort) or some sort of necro now.

I had the same issue.
Literally about 40 players doing the same event trying to kill a huge termite.
Was so messy I couldn't even find what I was meant to be attacking half the time. Lol.
I suppose the fact that it seemes to be invisible half the time and every single time I used heartseeker I was teleported to a random location!
Still very enjoyable and I'm very much looking forward to Saturday.
I'm sure most of the bugs and lag issues will be down to the stress testing and I would imagine the game will be incredibly well polished because of these tests.

Tried out necro last night for the first time, enjoyed it but still going to play the warrior on release, also had a play around with thief and guardian again, but still settled on warrior!
Did about an hour of wvw as well, sooooo much fun
LoE aren't on whiteside ride btw, we've moved to a different server with rock paper shotgun, pc gamer and a few other hundred peeps

My first time in game last night and very impressed, did not move from the computer for the full 6 hours. Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get into, especially using the skill and combat system. Nice not having to move UI elements around and trying to figure out 30 plus keybinds.
Played Ranger, Thief, Engineer, Warrior and Guardian. Have no idea what I fancy on day 1 Although as mentioned above things can get overwhelming in close combat when lots of people are around.
The game looks stunning that's for sure. GTX670 with 304.79 drivers (not updated to 305.67 yet, I understand these were released purely to support the new 660's). GPU usage was very poor at times. Less than 50% for lots of the time with the core clock sitting very low. In fact my core temp never broke 45C so some work needs done there.
All in very excited for Saturday now, just need to watch some more YouTube vids to decide on class.

They've started doing physical copies as well
Within the last few months they have moved onto hard copies aswell. If you have a quick look they now do XBox 360, PS3 and PC copies delivered.

I only lasted till 11 last night. Was too tired but wishing i stayed on this morning.
Dead set on Thief now. It's just terribly fun, I love changing the weapons around. Think I'm going to go MH Pistol OH Dagger with a Bow for my switchable. Love it! Also, PVP may be fun with it!
Leaning towards human at the moment but I'm hoping I won't get bored of the frankly boring human lore.
