A smooth start for the first Guild Wars 2 Public Beta, NOT! And diary!

The beta was supposed to start at 22 o’clock, but when I tried to log in about 21:45, I got in after a few tries !!1! Even managed to make a nice Norn Ranger and watch the opening cinematic, but then I was greeted by a black screen at the end of the opening cinematic and hung there… And now I can’t get back in, forums are down and there is talks about crashed servers. Well, so far this still has gone better than D3 open beta. Really hoping I get to play the game today.

22:57: Managed to get to character selection screen for a brief time, but all controls became unresponsive, so I logged out, again.

23:06: Third time in, failed to get to game world, and UI locked again.

23:54: Finally managed to log in, same error and lockup. Went to sleep.

-- Saturday begins

3:30: Woke up, checked whether the game works, it worked. Went back to sleep.

4:30: Couldn't sleep, started gaming. All is well.

5:46: Got kicked out. Got back immediately. Seems that my progress was rollbacked about five minutes..

6:16: Got kicked out, couldn't get in right away. I hear there's some maintenance.

6:50: It's on!

14:30: I was going to switch characters, but error messages greeted me then and every time after character selection. Maybe I should take this moment to eat something.

15:15: Servers allowed me to continue gaming.

19:00: Felt sleepy, wen't for a nap.

20:40: OK, let's continue.

22:45: Got kicked out without so much of an error message.

-- Sunday begins

00:45: It's on, finally!

00:55: Or not.. no error once again..

05:55: How about some sleep now? Not tired yet, but bad things might happen without sleep. Well, at least I played 18 hours and 30 minutes with the last sleep. Pity that beta end Monday at 09:00, and I have normal things to do then, so can't play too this following night.

14:10: It's on!

00:28: First ever crash for me.

01:55: Oh well.. have to get up fairly early in the morning, so this will have to do... 30 hours(exactly) is better than nothing.

07:55: Before going to sleep I heard there would a ending event, so had to wake up to play it. Turns out it only begun when the beta was supposed to end. Anyway, it was awesome! I even have few videos in youtube about Champion Bloodthirsty Black Moas.

09:03: Bam! Login screen without error message, I'm getting used to this. Pity this was the last time this would happen in a long time, as the BETA IS OVER! Playtime: 32 hours 8 minutes.The beta was supposed to start at 22 o’clock, but when I tried to log in about 21:45, I got in after a few tries !!1!
