9 days to go...

[orion]

9 ideas of things to try/consider on day 1 of GW2! (all optional except 9, oh and 4...hehe):

• Create your characters! Try and grab all those names you would like
  
• Options/key binds/friend list - setup all your options and keybinds - hopefully kept over from beta
  
• Explore - do some pve/events, take a trip to lions arch from your home city (so you know where to go for the meet and greet). Find the bank/trading post/crafting areas in your starting city.
  
• Join Smoke & Fire guild - woot! yay logga!
  
• Buy gathering tools - find vendor that sells gathering tools once you have enough spare change - wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gathering_tool - also think about maybe some extra bags from the trading post... also dont forget to use the "deposit all collectibles" button to send crafting items directly to your bank!
  
• Vistas - enjoy the vistas and little jumping puzzles - guildwars2.stratics.com/posts/guild-wars-2-the-beauty-of-vistas-by-thesparrowssjourney/
  
• Pvp - maybe try some wvw or spvp or keg brawl? - www.guildwars2hub.com/guides/exploration/norn-keg-brawl-guide
  
• Meet guildies - currently planned for aug 25th 8pm CST - smokefire.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gw2&action=display&thread=68
  
• Have fun - most important! Dont try to do everything at once theres a lot to do in GW2, enjoy the journey!

I'll make the 5 characters I did in previous stress tests and reserve their names, but then my main Charr Warrior is going to go mapping each race's capital city and Lion's Arch for easy experience and a chance to really explore and soak them in. I rushed way to much to level in the betas.

Using an old military term....

I want to say "8 days and a wake up!" sounds better in my head!

Just be careful as the exploration leveling doesn't give you money. I went exploring and taming pets with a ranger and when i hit lvl 10 i didn't have the silver to by the adept training book.

Well if I really need money, I'll go out and do Renown Hearts or whatever. Doesn't really bother me all that much.

I'll contribute to the excitement by sharing a video that always gets me pumped. Watch the guild wars 2 developers tell you why THEY think the game they've developed is complete and total awesomeness.

Can't wait - as of tonight it'll only be 8 more days!!!
