Asura Thief - 3 reasons:

1.) They're cute until they've stuck a dagger in your back
2.) Their starting area looks the most interesting to me
3.) Felicia Day voices a character in the starting story

I was looking at an Asura thief, but I'll probably go Human thief. Just feels more like...me that way. Not that I'm a thief you understand.

Anyone have any experience with the Rat 7 Cyborg MMO mouse? I prefer the look of it and it's a bit more of a reasonable price compared with the Naga. Just concerned that the placement of the buttons might be counter-intuitive

Also still waiting for Arenanet to reply to my support ticket.

You two are more than welcome.

Sorry for late reply infernox, will you be on the early access?

Just seen that Logitech are doing a MMO mouse, the G600. Looks a bit more comfortable than my Naga Epic...

I shouldn't have thoughts of buying a new mouse.

I want to play

But Can't justify an extra £15 for a couple of days extra play!

platypus · 23 Aug 2012 at 11:03

Could any kind soul with an early play please do me a favour and reserve a couple of character names for me?

Someone who won't be mean and pinch them

?

tempted by this, though i never really got into the first one, just didnt understand it I think. I probably wont get to play over the weekend, is the pre-purchase bonus item worth it?

I've been trying to also find reasons to spend £65 on it...

1. It's not just 3 days early access; you also get some in-game items;
2. You get to play the whole 3 days as it's a bank holiday weekend;
3. Think about the ammount of work they put in so far and will do in the future, with the game fee being one-off, it's not a high ammount at all;
4. You need this !!

So I'm going to buy it tonight directly from them. See you guys in game.

(what was the server again ?)

Honestly not really, if you can't play at all during the weekend you should definitely just hang back and join the fun from the 28th.

agnes · 23 Aug 2012 at 11:32

But £50!!!

Just can't make sense of it, £35 from amazon.

As for the special item, blurgh, makes NO difference to me.

platypus · 23 Aug 2012 at 11:33

Yeah. I got it for £31. Thats a reasonable deal for me.

two sleeps to go !!!

For a lot of people being able to secure your character names are important. If you use something that other people may want to use as well then 3 days can mean the difference between getting the names you want, or everything being in use already when you finally do get ingame.

Aye, see the point in that...

But still, £15 for 3 days extra!!! If they were selling it at £40, would have snapped it up.

It's a decision only you can make. I think the price difference is deliberately aggressive because the more they split the numbers the easier the first days are on their servers.

I went for the pre purchase partly because I liked the idea of the whole amount of the cost going to the developers also because a one off payment for 3 early days of entertainment on a bank holiday weekend is worth it for me. Also to get my awesome names reserved!

It may not be for you, and I can't blame anyone for holding off till the 28th if they so desire. Each to their own and that!

I am not bothered with the name's I tend to use the same one over and over again and I recently did a search on WoW and I was unique on all servers (just the 1 character)

I also tend to keep part of it in the name so that if i do an alt they know who I am.
