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.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
