In case you're really hankering for some more Guild Wars
ArenaNet will be holding another Guild Wars 2 stress test this weekend, set for tomorrow and just one hour.
The Sunday test will be held between 11:00 AM and noon Pacific, and like previous tests, anyone who pre-purchased is free to participate. Characters will carry over from before.
As always, keep in mind that ArenaNet will be actively working on the game while testing, so there's the usual risk of broken features and connectivity. That said, the Friday test went much smoother than previous sessions, with lag being the biggest complaint among participants.
Guild Wars 2 will be released on August 28. Early access begins just three days before.

Well I'll be at work when this one starts... Lame. I tried to get on Friday's stress test, and was constantly met with server and mission errors.

I'm thinking this may just a be a quick test to make sure the server optimizations they've made hold up against a weekend crowd. Not much you can do in an hour beyond saying, "Hey, ya, it's looking good!" or "Oh shit, everything we've done is F***ED!"
