Guild Wars 2 players have reported receiving emails stating the account holder had requested a password change – when they didn’t. Massively reports NCsoft is aware of the issue and has advised customers to not reply to the mail, nor do anything. Phishing attempts to obtain account information have also been reported, and since ArenNet never asks for customer passwords, users should again, ignore all attempts to cull the information out of them. It has been suggested that players use an email address created only for the game, as this is alos the user log-in along with a hard to solve password. Obvious information to those familiar with such matters, but still, grand advice.

Does the massively multiplayer bit of MMOs leave you cold? Are you put off by traditions and rules that everyone but you seems to know? Me too; let’s play Guild Wars 2 instead.

During yesterday’s Guild Wars 2 stress test, changes to the Engineer were implemented, providing the character with a new set Turret abilities. Each one provides a “quick fire” ability for when your turret isn’t up. Rocket Turret, for example, is an AoE which fires off a Rocket that explodes on impact, while the Rifle Turret shoots a bullet from the toolbelt. There’s more, of course, and it’s all posted over on GW Guru. Thanks, PCgamesN. Games’ out August 28.

ArenaNet has updated the Guild Wars 2 beta client with close to 10,000 files added or changed. Additions include a FPS counter, updated maps, and an update to PvP arenas Raid of the Capricorn and Legacy of the Foefire, and the PvE area Sorror’s Ambrace. An unknown area which could possibly be the Hall of Memories or an extension of Orr was also added. The last beta test was held weekend before last, and as PCgamesN notes, it’s not likely another test will roll out unless its a short stress test; likely, it’s so players will have less to download when the game launches at the end of August. It makes sense, as it would also reduce the load on the game servers at launch. We’ll keep an eye on this for you just in case. Via Reddit.
