Well that's one advantage of digital purchase.

Just waiting for when the client is released.

**Melissia**

Alas, no beta weekend yet, and I still haven't had the chance to download the client.

Hope they release it BEFORE the beta weekend, not during.

**Zyllos**

Did anyone get into the stress test this weekend (I did not)?

**Corpsesarefun**

There's a stress test this weekend?

I've not heard about it but everyone who pre-ordered should be in it if there is.

Ps, my code was despatched today after I complain to Zavvi.

**Swordwind**

I didn't get in.

**Corpsesarefun**

I don't think there is one this weekend.

I haven't gotten a peep from ArenaNet since they sent me my "thanks for registering" email, so I wouldn't know anything about a stress test.

**Zyllos**

Let me find the information.

*EDIT*

From GuildWars2Forum.com: http://www.guildwars2forum.com/threads/2427-Did-you-guys-get-into-this-Friday-s-stress-test?p=22701&viewfull=1#post22701

I am at work so I can not access Twitter but has said that the Friday stress test is not for pre-purchase individuals. I am thinking it is to stress the servers for the pre-purchase beta access.

I guess to also add, it is only like for 6 hours then it is shut down.

**Corpsesarefun**

Ah, in that case I didn't get in.

My copy has been shipped though! should arrive soon.

**Melissia**

Yeah, so basically they were misleading and we didn't get access to the next beta weekend, because they decided not to call it a beta weekend [/troll]

**Corpsesarefun**

A 6 hour stress test on one day isn't a beta weekend

It's still beta though, annoying we didn't get in.

**Karon**

/vg/ is quite mad at the Stress Test debacle - it is extensively amusing.

Preordered standard edition because the DDE is a bunch of gak that I will not fall for. They've said over Twitter that you will be able to upgrade your Standard edition to the DDE in the future.

Cannot wait for beta on the 27th.

You sure it is on the 27th?

**Corpsesarefun**

It's either 20th-22nd or 27th-28th.

**MrDwhitey**

It is never!

**Xeriapt**

They're really pushing for people to get the Collectors ed lol. Last few articles on the site have been about stuff inside inside it.

**Swordwind**

I would love to get it. There's just noone nearby who sells it.

**Zyllos**

After getting a few CEs before, CEs just are not all that great. I just want to play the game, so just give me the basic edition!

I am hoping it is next weekend, but I believe it will indeed be the last weekend of this month.

**Corpsesarefun**

I don't usually buy collectors but as I've been following this game for so long I wanted to get something special and I like having boxes

**Karon**

Download beta client from older betas.
Stare at login screen
Listen to glorious GW2 music
Cry at lack of access to game

no need to torture yourself.

**Corpsesarefun**

My best friends copy of the collectors edition arrived yesterday morning and according to the tracking mine is still in Manchester (several hours drive away).

DAMN YOU YODEL!

**Swordwind**

1. Drive to Manchester.
2. Yell at company rep.
3. ???
4. Profit!

**Corpsesarefun**

With any luck my beta box should come today!

People who have registered already (if you're not under NDA) what account names have you used?

**Fafnir**

Wintermute

Of course, if there were a beta to be released during this week, it's not like I could play it anyway. Far too much work to do.

**Swordwind**

Still no parcel, tracking still informs me it's in manchester -.-

I wrote:Hello,
I recently ordered something from Zavvi and it was despatched on the 12th of this month, it immediately appeared on your tracking service as "Parcel data received awaiting coll. (MANCHESTER SERVICE CENTRE)" and the following day this was updated to "Load Transfer Receipt (MANCHESTER SERVICE CENTRE)" however since then there has been no change in it's status whatsoever. A friend purchased the same product from Zavvi at the same time and also had it despatched at 0:00 on the 12th of april however his parcel (tracking code JJD0002239226083944) was delivered on the 13th.

Is it simply a matter of your tracking service being slow to update the status of my parcel or has it genuinely been untouched for the last 4 days.

More importantly where is my parcel and when will it arrive?
Thank you for your time,
Tom

**Melissia**

Probably should remove the tracking code.
