We're looking into issues related to email authentication. Thank you for bearing with us during this Stress Test. ^RB
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

Did you try and login and just play? Thats all you have to do. The validation is just not working and like Aerowyn said they tweeted and are fixing it. Not a biggy if you still want to play in the stress test.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
I had the validate email problem for about 30 min. I was clicking the link in my email to validate but it kept encountering a error, read they where working on it, waited a minute, came back and checkedmy email to validate and was able to validate. Make sure you click the little box next to the validate button so it saves your location and you do not have to do the validation process over again!
Hey guys, I couldn't take part in today's stress test but could someone explain this new validate system?
So when you go to log in, it sends a email to your registered email saying where you are trying to log in from and you have to activate it and until you activate it, you cannot log in? Is this correct? let me know.
I'm having the same issue, my password wont work also which is weird i've never had any issues like this before.
did you change your email on that screen? It prompted me with the option to change my email(as in not @ncsoft) and it was fine, BUT it changes your log in email to the new email, including for GW1
I checked my emails today and saw that additionaly to the email that is linked between my first GW1 account and my only GW2 account, I got like 7 emails asking me to authenticate my account in my other email that were set on my second GW1 account, that is NOT linked to GW2 at all.
What I noticed by it was that it always included my IP and that's I think the whole issue here!
My router is Dynamical applying a new IP everytime I go to the internet while the Authentication were expecting a STATIC IP that never changes.
In my opinion it would be VERY BAD to go that way and expect everyone to have a Static IP because it helps hackers to easier gain access to your pc and that's something I'm sure nobody really wants.
REALLY hope this whole thing won't happen at the 25th cause I'm really sure that I don't want to spend my headstart days with issues like that.
If there is a bug in game that can be fixed as we go I don't mind much as long as I can still enter and play but not being able to enter at all is a no go for me.
I got the confirmation email much later, but it didn't hinder my progress. The great thing about this is that you can finally change your username/email. I had it linked to my old GW1 account which used an email that's now long gone.
I didn't have any issues with validating my e-mail, but I did do it right at the servers came up so maybe before everyone else did? I know the forums were having trouble after that and about an hour later when I went to post a bug report it wasn't working that well at all.
I had problems with it too. Tried many times. Finally I was able to log in but today I check my email and I have 16 emails from ANet asking me to validate logging location =P

Don't tell other people what to do. No one did anything wrong, so keep your mouth shut and to yourself. Mkay?. Thanks.
