Event Update: A small delay
Joe L.
Is there any solid info on when exactly this will get underway. I am in Central US, and it's ten after eight in the morning.

The distribution is not by country - it depends on what server you are on. Read the update notes.
When everyone has the new build, Elona will be opened to all.

"Update - Friday September 23
We had difficulty distributing the Live build using our normal distribution process, so we have been distributing it manually to file servers around the world, one server at a time. Therefore, players on some servers will receive the update sooner than players on other servers.
We expect to complete distributing the build to all servers within the next 15 minutes, and when the distribution is complete, we will open access to Elona and start the preview event."

youll see something like this "C:\Games\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" depending on where it's installed then add -image so it looks like this "C:\Games\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image |

What you need to do is keep closing GW and reloading it. It'll update quite a few times and then you'll have the new interface.

and what the -image thing does? why we need to add it?

I'm now getting the updates you guys got about 5 minutes earlier(I'm in the Netherlands)
Lady Lozza
Ok then, presumably the err50 is them shutting access to the servers from their side, and it will go away when they re-open them.
kenichiukiya
the -image thingy is for u to update n dl everything at one go without having to update in-game
Rulke
well, I've just got the huge download, so it's time to start doing my maths work.
I should have time to finish before GW is back up.

It decompress the files so you won’t have to do it in game when you zone into a new map and take –image out after it is done then go play.

Do not panic guys, they are doing their best to get the update going.
And to explain the slowness its because tons of people are trying to download the updates now.
Even if you are on high speed then you will experience lag and such.
When Nightfall preview was out it took me ages to update the game. The next night I updated the other PC and was done in 5 minutes since there was no load on the servers.

My main concern is that people have big updates and I don't...
Meh, I'll start worrying when lots of people are actually in and I can't get in...
Or maybe I'll just go to bed

new build again for me. seems like a 100+mb this time

OMg...I just figured it out. American servers can log on, but Euro servers cannot yet. I have 2 accounts, each on a diff server. So if you still have the ability to switch servers, w/o getting stuck there, I would suggest doing that.
