Apparently there is a stress test going on right now (12AM EST). NEver have I see a game company hold beta events all the way up to the release of their game like ArenaNet is doing.

For those wondering, it lasted from 9:10 - 10:10 PDT, and I don't really know why they did it. Slovo said that GW1 went down and that it might have had something to do with the Hall of Monuments, since there was a pretty big patch earlier.
All of our characters were wiped, and apparently all of the previously locked areas were unlocked. I can also say that my framerate was as smooth as butter, which it was not before. I had no graphic lag whatsoever. I didn't look at the graphics options, but some people said there were more options and a lot of other people said it used more of their GPU and ran a lot smoother. Woo!

Question.... If your beta characters were wiped beforehand, I wonder if you just got early access to reserving your permanent names!?

I was thinking that. That'd be pretty cool! Too bad I only did one. And good thing I chose Borlis Pass. But I bet they'll wipe them.

You're right Akires, just read on their twitter that they will be doing another wipe before the headstart.

Remember, create 5 characters fast ( skip to end), to reserve the name, then simply delete 1 by 1 as u customize them.
