Well, Caeric, if you are super concerned about names, if you hop on around 3am and just skip through the character creation and snag the name you want, when you delete that character, the name is unavailable to anybody else for 24 hours! Just food for thought!

Thanks, Jax! That was fun.

Grrr... Have to work on that Saturday, so:

Go to bed night before, wishing I could stay up but knowing I have to sleep for work
Get up at 4 am, even though I didn't sleep well for thinking about GW2
Go to work
Think about GW2
Get home at 5(ish) pm
Patch Game (even though I patched the night before)
Log In
Hope to get on Crystal Desert
Hope the name(s) I want are available
Not move from my chair for the next 12(ish) hours (or until I fall over asleep)

Looks good!

Also, often used in mmo rolepaly statements in double parenthesis ((like this)) are "out of character remarks".

Though the /me command works great, other RP groups also denote things inside *asterisks*
such as *puts on his hat*.

this is also used to show environmental noise/add to the scene. Example the engineer responding to the captain with background noise:
*claxons and panicked chatter* We're doing what we can, sir, but the core needs to be shut down, or it will breach!

I like that idea kerstov! The only thing is there is no way I'd be able to sleep when I'm so close to playing..And I'm in for 11 pm!

Tried a few generators, and settled on the one below (http://guildwars2.pl/signatures_-_generator,a657,p2).

The initial page was in Polish, but I think the link above will go to the English version.

Halish was on vent earlier and had a great idea. We take shifts spamming the login button - 1 person per hour while the rest of us sleep with our headsets on! lol And when you can finally login you can speak and wake everyone up :woohoo:

So vent party starts at 11:00pm EST?

Oh shoot! I completely forgot about bio breaks. That means looking away from guild wars 2...darn

Obviously the Priscilli.

OMG I ALMOST PISSED MY PANTS! :woohoo:

That made my day....I'm still laughing....I had forgotten all about that movie and here it is as a possible alliance name.....that was good!

LMAO! That's so funny especially the camelbak thing .... the only thing you actually missed dude is the porta-pottie! ROFL

Posidius and I will be gaming all night... :woohoo:

Good intro to combos here:

(Invalid video video code)

My first will be a Sylvari Mesmer. After that, probably:

Sylvari Elementalist (prefer the Sylvari so far)
Necromancer (might make this one Human)

Hey guys! I was reading up on Gw2Guru today and saw this great big post pertaining to preparations for the night (or morning) of head start. It really got me thinking, and I also wanted to know what everyone else was planning!

Here's my plan:

Preparation includes:
-Buying a giant bag of pistachios
-filling my Camelbak with ice cold water
-finding ways to stay awake without using any kind of drug (caffeine,etc.) (check)
-check patch client every day until head start
-buy healthy snacks that will actually provide me with energy instead of..well..not providing me energy

Plans:
-sleep in until 12p.m. EST
-go to the gym (because i'll feel better about what i'm about to do...)
-come home, maybe read a book,etc.
-get ready at the computer around 10 p.m. EST
-launch GW2 client
-play happy wheels x.x
-get on ventrilo 11p.m. EST
-12p.m-3p.m. spam login button
-create 5 characters quickly to save names
-PvE until 5-7a.m.
-sleep for about 5 hours
-GW2!!!

So i just wanted to know what you guys are going to plan, because honestly it is just such an exciting topic for me to discuss! Will there be any marathoners here? (if so, i might join ya!)

Hello everyone,

Our community has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years, starting with expanding into Star Wars: The Old Republic (TOR) and recently into Guild Wars 2 (GW2). (Even more recently, we’ve had a small group start in The Secret World.) We’ll shortly be reaching 2,000 members.

Our goal from the beginning was to create one community that spanned multiple games that included the welcoming and friendly atmosphere that we started in Star Trek Online (STO). I believe we’ve accomplished that wonderfully and I’m excited to see how our community continues to grow over the coming years.

Part of our success has been from maintaining the same standards of our community into all of our guilds; the same membership process, the same Code of Conduct, the same social network. These things can now be seen, not as aspects of Stonewall Fleet, but as part of our entire community.

There remains one aspect that’s been in need for sometime: a name. While Stonewall Fleet is a great name for us in STO, but it didn’t quite fit for TOR or GW2. Each of those guild were named appropriately to fit the culture and theme of the games in which the run, but a name for our community at large is very important, as well as, building an image for our community as a whole.

After a poll, it was shown that people had interest in calling the community “Stonewall Gaming”, but a split between whether to call us a “Community” or an “Alliance”. A long with those, there was an interest in “Network”, partial due to one of the features that I feel is one of our greatest, the social networking aspect of our website. For this reason, I selected, based on the input of our members, to name our community the Stonewall Gaming Network.

Now that we’ve selected a name and a domain, stonewallgaming.net, we can start moving some shared aspects of our community to this name. One of the first goals is to change over our email addresses to the new domain. Up until recently, all of our emails came from stonewallfleet.com which can be a bit annoying for those of our members that mainly use the Knights of Stonewall or Stonewall Vanguard websites. With time, we'll be building this image and name of Stonewall Gaming Network.

Thanks to you all for helping make the Stonewall Gaming Network what it is today.

Obviously the Priscilli.

Because wasn't Priscilla Queen of the [Crystal] Desert? ;)

Thanks Halish, but gah. annoying. The WvWvW thing complicates it too. Because this guild will be far more likely to be involved in that than my friends on the other server. Plus i'd hate to not be on the big gay server. sigh. I wonder how long guesting will take.

Does anyone know if you can change servers if you delete all your toons? not that I'd want to.

If you want to roll with your friends Xcentric then go for it. As much as I'd love you to join us on CD, life isn't perfect and you should roll wherever you think you'll be playing most (or perhaps who you want by your side in WvW).

You're still welcome in the guild to chat or guest to us whenever you like.

I don't think it'll be too long before guesting is activated.

The difficulty for me is that I have several friends in a guild on Jade Quarry. I'm a bit torn because I want to be with you guys, but also want to play with them. Unfortunately, it seems I will have to create 2 toons on separate servers since the "guesting option" won't be available right away.

With the way "Home Worlds" work in GW2, I don't think you can create a toon on 2 separate servers. Your account is linked forever to the first server you create a character on (unless you transfer). I believe they did this because of WvW.

So, until guesting is implemented, people will be confined to where they roll first.

GASP :blink:

Although we might not be able to manage an alliance in game right away - it can always be managed by other means.

Stitch posted the "Server Communities" link last week that gives an example of one community that's going to create an in game guild to serve as an alliance until the real thing comes out.

I like both Sacred Band and The Mattacini. I was in a DAoC guild called Sacred Band - but oddly enough if was pretty straight.
