I just pre-ordered GW2 on Friday. Does anyone know if there will be any more beta events prior to launch?
Also how do the servers work in this? Is it like GW1 where it was just one big server split into shards or is this a more traditional setup?
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Aug 28, 2012
There might be another stress test before launch but, the last beta weekend has already passed. As for servers, they have switched to a more traditional system like WoW or SWTOR, with around 40-ish named servers.

Really, that's disappointing. I was hoping it could join up with some fellow bombers but I guess ill have to stick to the UK servers.
Thanks anyway :)
@Mister_V: The latency is actually pretty good to the US servers, and you can guest in other servers whenever you want. You can pick whatever server you want regardless of where you live. I think the Giant Bomb guild is going to be based in the Yak's Bend server.
@EnchantedEcho: @Mister_V: You can guest to any server you want to do pretty much anything short of WvW, it's as simple as right clicking on a party member and selecting join (or whatever they happen to make the option say). Yes we will be on the Yak's Bend server, so check out this thread if you are looking to play GW2 with some fellow duders.

If you wanna join Bombers come on Yaks Bend! It's a US server, but as a UK resident I've played WvW and sPvP and never had any significant lag issues, plus being with everyone is way more fun.

Sold :) I have added my name to the guild thread.
Thanks for the info guys.

@Mister_V: Hmm, it appears there's another 10,000 file update to the beta client. Last time they did that they ran a stress test shortly after.
Maybe you're in luck!
Oh man, if they slowly feed us stress tests leading up to release, it might actually be enough to satiate my gw2 hunger.

Huge emphasis on the might there.
@Mister_V: It certainly does. Plus, you get the full 3-day head-start with a pre-purchase instead of the 1-day version that comes with a pre-order.
