I guess because today's test obviously didn't work out for them... they announced another for tomorrow. Same bat-time, same bat-channel.

edit: different bat-time! 16:00-18:00 pacific!

In a note that will make sense to exactly one other person, note that the end of the stress test coincides exactly with the time you should be logging onto Skype.

A stress test at 7:00 PM on Friday? You'd think they wanted to stress their servers or something.

*Queues update while continuing with Dawnguard.*

Which side didya pick?

I went with the Dawnguard, at least this playthrough. I never cared for vampires. At least in Skyrim, Vampires aren't like that teen girl book/movie series that will not be named, lest it get us tagged on a web search. I very much approve that they look more like nosferatu, as opposed to teen hearthrobs.

My evil mage playthrough will go with the vamp side.

However, I like the companion character, so if there comes a quest point where it's the companion or the dawnguard I have to save, the dawnguard is screwed.

When I get around to it, my mage is going dawnguard. Gonna use fire and ice to make them 'sparkle'.

I finally got my smithing and enchanting up to 100 each. It's like playing a demi-god now. They sparkle from the lightning/ice combination on my greatsword.

And sheesh. They -still- haven't opened the servers. What are they waiting for, official start time or something?

For those of us with lag yesterday, ANET had this to say on Reddit:
