Mike O'Brien declared caused by Guild Wars 2's initial public beta weekend was "overwhelming in more ways than one." ArenaNet's president took the time to write down up a quick writing reflecting about the upshot of the last beta weekend plus the reasoning behind this coming Monday's surprise stress test.

In line with O'Brien, even though the feedback on the event was quite positive, they must battle with unexpected interest on the action. Even though the management temporarily put off the capacity for players' capacity to pre-find the title through ArenaNet, the game's 48 servers couldn't support the influx of testers and beta tourists.

It wasn't simply a PR stunt, however. "It was definitely an actual beta, made to find problems, gather player input, and learn what work still has to be done before we ship the overall game," O'Brien stated(http://www.guildwars2gold.org/).

The c's is anticipating a larger crowd with the next beta weekend, and that's why it's running a seven-hour stress test on May 14th to test new changes.
