Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[GW2]Making a new thread for the BWE. See you guys on Aspenwood soon!

I mean you can use it for general stuff, but I wouldnt expect a lot of people on it right now.
Is it BWE time yet?
I think so. Not certain though.
If you played it and liked it though, why not prepurchase?
I will, but I'm just covering my bases (it's sold out again)
Sold out might mean they cut it off to get ready for the next BWE.
or someone forgot to refresh the availible keys.
I'm hoping the former (but not this weekend, next weekend plx)
That would be the worst weekend to have a BWE. This weekend, or maybe just two in June.

If it's not next weekend, though, the 25th sounds likely as well.
I like charr because I have a distorted world view (much like Kenneth). I don't see warrior beast-people, I see "KITTY!"
To answer your question, though, hm: Charr have a unified, direct, military society with minimal bureaucracy, which means that they get stuff done. Unless they start the in-fighting (presumably because they got bored and/or war costs become too high).
Asura have SCIENCE(-ish), but they're also prone toward valuing ELITISM. Ancient Romans and Greeks know how that goes over.
Norn are liked by everyone but the Asura (see ELITISM) and are unlikely to be the target of a genocide, unless a crazy ruler demands their servitude.
Humanity has boatloads of faith, and nothing about their religion really precludes them from incorporating more innovation (although they may refuse it simply because it is charrish). Less god-intervention means weaker humans, but less godliness also means less Jade Wind. Generally, humanity is too faithful.
Sylvari are...boring? Okay, while their culture is interesting, sylvari politics are bland/nonexistent. While they're as liked as the norn, the sylvari's self-proclaimed destiny to 'hunt the dragons' could warp into a self-righteous and misguided 'save the world' (possibly to the point of attempted genocide).
That said, every race has the potential for mass murder. Charr are the most likely candidate, since whenever they don't have a clear goal they start the civil wars. The asura are more likely to enslave than kill, but I could see them exterminating a 'potential threat' (they've been trying to do that to the skritt forever, apparently). Norn like to hunt. Humans are zealots. Sylvari have the aforementioned savior complex, and none of the other races seem particularly concerned about pollution or other side-effects (externalities!).

During the day.
Who can tell him what will happen under the sun after he is gone?"

**checks vacation days**
I suddenly find myself unavailable for work Monday.
My whole weekend is going to be spent doing mother's day stuff with mine, the gf's, and my grandmother. Monday is going to be a me day. I might get generous and put on pants for the pizza guy.
It was two weeks. April 13th was the stress test.
What is this game doing to me
They don't exactly need everybody to come to the stress test in order to see what their servers can handle. They just need to throttle players into a limited number of servers (probably 3 at a time, or else WuvWuv wouldn't work).
Edit: Speaking of which, I can only assume our WuvWuv team is gonna zerg the WuvWuv scene! Right? Wait...I don't think they're going to let us switch servers this time.
Anyone that used keys that I gave out were only good for the first BWE. So I would buy the game if you want guaranteed access.
Realize its got a high chance to suck and you will spend almost none of that time playing. Imagine it being like when the last BWE started, but the first 5 hours was all you got. In other words, barely nothing.
I plan to jump on after work and hope I can fiddle with some more builds / professions.
I.e. don't get your hopes up for seven hours of game time.
beaten by seconds...
I want to save my boner for the real weekend.
