Yak's bend is the only name that I can recognize from GW1 lol.

We'll look around where other guilds end up.

Thought this was kind of interesting

There are no "special servers". Language is client side. No PvP or RP servers. No East or West coast servers either. ^MK

I took the liberty of linking the lore behind each server name (a few didn't have any though) if you click on the name. So far, from a lore standpoint, Crystal Desert sounds the most interesting. It's where the elder dragon Kralkatorrik resides.

Also, Guru has started a list of which guilds will be rolling where: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/world-choice-guilds-and-communities-t37040.html

All players will be able to receive 2,000 gems free for the Beta Weekend Event,

Looks like we'll be able to test some of the stuff from the cash shop too.

I'll take a look at the list of guilds and see which ones I recognize from GW1.

Got the email, so, so excited.

If no one has any objections, I'm going to go ahead and call us going to Crystal Desert for the weekend. I like how the name is easy to say, and there are no big names on there yet - at least according to that unofficial list.

I'm thinking

1. Crystal Desert
2. Ehmry Bay
3. Deldrimor

The less the traffic the better it will be for us during the beta weekend. We may or may not switch for retail.
