PvE on the 22nd now confirmed

Any info on the slot situation for the preview? Do we get a couple of slots? or some key which can then be "upgraded" to retail (to keep the slots and chars created), anyone?

Nope. With the advent of the ingame store, they're not fiddling with that kind of thing anymore.
But you could also make a free account just for the event if you don't want to buy a slot.
Remember* the bonus slot from the prerelease pack will NOT be available for the preview event

The login screen for Prophecies was changed from Ascalon Foothill Camp to Factions Sea before the FPE occured, if memory serves. Still, a new login screen would be great.
And, in response to the general fact that the NPE is on its way...
Please don't spam.

Just kidding! Still...I'm in a very, VERY good mood now.

They'll probably change the login screen real soon. The pedestal was already in use when I bought Prophecies, and that was a week or two before the Factions PVE preview...

I feel sorry for new players who have to download 2Gb+ of game client for a preview weekend. I think if I was new to the game I'd like either advanced warning to start the download of the client (so I won't waste the weekend downloading or give up because it ate all of my download quota) or perhaps a "Nightfall lite" client which doesn't have the prophecies and factions stuff I wasn't going to play.
I might tell a few friends of the weekend but I'll definitely be handing round a DVD with my game client on it if they sound interested!

Guild Wars NightfallTM will make its debut in a massive event open to anyone and everyone who would like to play. The event will take place September 22, 2006, beginning at 12:01am PDT and running through September 24, 2006 at 11:59pm PDT. The Guild Wars Nightfall World Preview Event will feature previews of the new environments, new missions, and new battle arenas. The event will allow players to create Nightfall-specific characters from the six core professions as well as the two new NightfallTM professions, the Dervish and the Paragon, and try out new Nightfall skills. The entire Istani province of the new realm Elona will be open for player exploration, and players will be able to view the first Nightfall in-game cinematics. In addition, two new arenas will make their debut, the Sunspear Arena and Churranu Island. For an added bonus, the November 2006 issue of PC Gamer magazine, due in stores a week before the event, boasts a Guild Wars Nightfall cover story, and includes an access key for an exclusive, in-game, Gray Giant miniature. The Gray Giant will be useable during the World Preview Event, and then may be reactivated with a Guild Wars Nightfall account upon release. |

Cool, I guess I will see you all there.
It will be cool if the monsters come and kill us all, like what the Shirokens and Kunavang did in Factions preview.

My favorite part is the paragraph stating A.Net's actually preparing for the server carnage that's about to ensue....

saying "anet shouldnt put the weekend during a holiday" isnt the same as saying "they shouldnt put the weekend on my friends wedding"
would Anet make a special weekend on easter? on new years? on xmas?

OMG right at Christmas

Most special events are centered around real holidays. The Mad King (Halloween), Wintersday (Christmas/New Years), and Dragon Festival (4th of July) for example.
This is just a PvE preview event with NO special masks or anything. You're not really missing anything, unlike the Dragon Mask I missed because I was out of town 4th of July. But do I complain? No, because these events are just neat bonuses, not the reason I play the game.
BTW, does Rosh Hashanah prohibit gaming? Or is it just "family obligation", like other holidays?
