Hmm I dont want to change my Mind so much :P
Im going to play Lvl 80 with asura necro, then play another profession with another race.. therefore Ill have about 5+ Storylines to go through all the way to 80 and therefore it should keep me immersed for some time :)
It's all about getting the most of the game right :)

A poll showing population, PvE, PvP, WvWvW, and RP concentration across the servers. Interesting stuff!

http://www.asuralabs.com/serverPoll.php

*PvE is the most popular gameplay choice.
*Yaks bend is easily the most populated NA server. Desolation the most populated EU server.(Far shiverpeaks 2nd)
*RP servers, not shockingly, very RP heavy.
*Prepare to be stomped by Seafarers Rest in WvWvW. (this is where Titan Alliance guild plays)

I know dude. There is this one friend who's playing with me and he wants to play on Gandara since his guild will be there. Decisions after decisions. GW2 seems harder and harder before I even play it.

For the head-starters who are starting off tomorrow - Can I know how big the GW2 client is? And if its copy-able to another PC? (even a rough idea of how big the beta/stress test client is pretty ok for now)

Downloading 10+ GB would be a chore for me on a 512k line and would appreciate if I could get it off someone instead.

PS - I do plan on buying the game come September-mid :)

It's around 14GB Mate.
And it's easily copiable.. All game files are stored in a simple .dar file. It's jsut one huge file to transfer :)

I assume that's the beta/stress test version and my take is that the final GW client will be 15GB+?

I'm not sure if its the same case as it was with the original GW, you can download the first bits for the place you started (pre-searing Ascalon in GW) and then download the rest of the areas as the game progresses.

Nah mate.
my current Installation is 14GB and whn i open the patcher another 20000 files are waiting to be downloaded.. Also the beta is teh whole game.. It's jsut that we were locked out from certain parts.
Im guessing whole version will be 15-16 GB :)
im not sure you can download it like that

Thanks for the info. In the previous GW you could update the whole client to the latest with all areas by using the "/update" (IIRC) switch in the GW executable, which downloads all the files. I'm not sure if that is supported in the present GW2, but anyhow I'd be more willing to snag the client  from someone :)
