Guild Wars 2 Adds August 15 Stress Test

Here we go again!

Just a few minutes ago, another Guild Wars 2 stress test was announced on the official GW2 Facebook page.

The delightful Rubi Bayer pronounced:

"We will be conducting a stress test tomorrow Wednesday, August 15 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time.

We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed.

Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative
of the state of the game at launch.

By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game!
--
Please note:
* The stress test is open to anyone who has pre-purchased Guild Wars 2.
* Characters will not be wiped from the previous Stress Test."    

It's not surprising that so many stress tests are being performed as the final preparations are made for headstart on August 25. Will you be taking part?
