    Good move IMO. Hopefully that'll help spread the population out some come release.

    Hmm I don't want to be spoiled too much for launch, especially the starter zone for these classes because all along I planned for my first to characters to be Sylvari and Asura.

    Now to resist creating them during BWE3...

    Do what I'm going to do - make an Asuran and Sylvari and hike them over to the human or norn area to level a bit - I just want to get a sense of which profession goes best with each race - I'll be making one of each race.  Does mean I'll see the tutorial and a bit of each city but it worked great for my Charr - so far I've managed to avoid spoling much of the Charr area for launch.

    Ill try the character creation for them, but will not play them to keep those zones fresh for release.

    Good point. Could only play the tutorial as straight after it you can use the "Go to the Mists" button on the pvp tab of the hero menu to be taken to the Heart of the Mists, take the portal to L.A. there and from L.A. get to the norn or charr starter zones.

    I actually prefer not to get spoiled for the tutorial either but should I not be able to resist it's still a fair compromise :)

    well i hope that starting area wont lag like its did when on first bwe1 when we all started a human lol now everyones will go silvari and asura so those 2 area will be packed, a good way to test server again i guess,

    I'm glad they decided to let us play the last two races. I was heavily leaning towards Norn, but their instanced "district" is just plain horrible. I'm sure some people like it but I thought it was underwhelming. If the Asura "district" is awesome, and their cap city is awesome, I just may switch to them. Was never interested in the plant people, althought I know a few women who cant wait for them. For some reason the fairer sex seems mroe interested in that race than any other, based on my experiences.

    August 28th cant come soon enough.

    I don't care what BWE3 does I'm saving sylvari (elementalist) and asura (warrior) for launch.

    Finally, the best (and smartest) race that is worth playing, Asura!!

    What profession would make sense with Sylvari? Seems like everything but ranger or thief (maybe warrior?) would be awkward as a Sylvari. I mean imagine a Sylvari guardian.. hah!

    Can't wait to see the Grove and Slyvari storyline. I wonder what DE boss they will have in the beginner area, maybe a defiled giant treant?

    Damn I'll be in Africa during the BW3......oh I guess I'll have to wait for early access
