Was anyone aware that their pre-purchase account was able to access the stress test last night? The odd thing was my beta account couldn't despite getting an invite.

I wasn't aware.. I never got a download link for the client either so..

I knew of the "stress test", but from what i've heard it wasn't something that you could get into simply for being a pre-purchaser.

I can't access anything yet. No game download, beta forums, anything.

They sent me an email with this link: http://forum.guildwars2.com/

When I go there, I get this message: "There was a horrible error!"

It should be obvious why you can't access the beta forums yet.

I've been thinking about this for a few days now and I don't get it. How do we link our GW1 account to our GW2 account? It asks for an email address when we pay but the thing is I have several NCsoft master accounts using the same email address (I don't know how that happened). Both my Aion and GW1 account are seperate ncsoft master accounts but both use the same email address.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it and it just uses the email address you use to actually log into GW1, because that's what I used to register the key with? I don't know. :s :wacko:

I have the same issue sort of. Back when GW1 was out, before any of the expansions, I let a friend use my account while I didn't have internet for a few months. He ended up getting a virus or something, and my account was hacked and lost for a good time. About a year later, I returned to GW1, but with some of the expansions I just purchased. I set up the expansions, but did it under a new account, as my original was lost I thought. Then I emailed NCSoft, went through the loops to prove the original was mine, and got the account back. The problem, my GW1 original account was totally seperate from all the expansions account, and NCSoft said there was nothing they could do to link them.

I don't really have an issue with it, but on the other than, I sort of do lol. I just hope no one else has it happen to them, as it is some what frustrating.

Now that is just a straight up lie if they tell you they can't link your accounts. Because a similar situation happened to a friend of mine. When they bought expansions they unknowingly created an entire new account with the expansion key and NCsoft linked them. As long as you have proof that you own the accounts then they can link them. Although your case may be different because your account was hacked, I don't know if that would make the different but they *can* link accounts.

This was years ago... like, at least 5 years ago. I don't hold it against them now. But at the time, it totally turned me off.

Well what I was talking about happened years ago too. It was either the Eye of the North expansion or the one before that.

Mine was the very first expansion... that asian themed one lol.

But all is good now that I'm getting GW2 for free. Just twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the email :)

@tragedy & shakey

I have the exact same thing (one acc = gw, other = aion). However I login to GW with my e-mail, so when I "added" the account I just used the account that my GW was with and all seems fine. It now shows me that my account has both gw1 and 2.

Neither of mine show GW2 on it. At least the last time I checked. And adding the key through the website returns an invalid key error.

it doesn't show on the ncsoft site, it showed it on one of the account management pages for the GW2 site.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 finally stops trusting a critical system threat

      By NXTwoThou · Posted

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
