Guild Wars 2

…a somewhat eerie feeling this. The forums are relatively quiet, the mice are sleeping, the owls are gliding gracefully through the night air…unbeknownst to them that in just under 4 hours, all hell is about to break loose. Enjoy it while you can fellow Tyrians.

Good luck to the devs and the whole arena net team, this is your finest hour. May Dwayna shed her light upon you, may Grenth keep you from the icy clutches of the playerbase, let Melandru guide your hand and Lyssa, your thoughts and logical thinking. And pray that Balthazar will lead you to victory. Abandons excluded because I killed the kitten out of him hundreds of years ago.

Check out the Countdown to Launch live Twitch stream that started almost half an hour ago:

(Tries to think of a suitable poem for the occasion)

’Twas the night before launch
And all through the game
Not a creature was stirring
Not even an AgitatedFox.
The gamers sat by their computers with care,
In hopes that a Dev, soon would be there;
The download was sitting, awaiting the call
With hopes of crashing. The game and us all.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Haha, beautiful!

Eh. It’s not too bad really. Gives everyone enough time to brace themselves for what’s coming.

Also, 10 gold says the first complaint thread will be “OMG!! THE GAME CRASHED AND NOW I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ANOTHER PATCH!!!! FAIL GAME ANET!!! GOOD JOB AT RUNING YOUR GAME!!!”

I shed a tear. Quite stunning.
