If you finish downloading and attempt to login you'll recieve error 9. This doesn't mean you have anything wrong with your account or your client. Error 9 Means that All guild wars 2 servers are down at the moment(normal since the game isnt out yet). Again do not worry, once GW 2 comes out you'll be able to log into the game.

Thanks for the update George!

One question... Why so large? Sign of another stress test?

So... my GW2 install is in a weird place, like my documents\downloads folder. I was hoping they'd orchestrate a fresh install, rather than keep patching the beta client, so it'd be tidy without me doing anything. Do ya think I should delete and reinstall in Program Files?

@ mulch. Nope. as long as your GW2 is working it doesn't matter where it is. for example my files are all in my user files and not my program files. but if you want to move them then move the following files to target folder. 1. GW2.dat file(biggest files) 2. GW2.tmp file 3. GW2 exe file. 4. Crash.dmp file. Or if your willing to sit through up dating again then just move your GW2 Exe file to where you want the game to set up and start it up.

Thanks, SHGeorge!
