official Guild Wars 2

[trag3dy]

That's more than likely fake. People are doing it on Reddit - they're going to beta.guildwars2.com/account/done and just taking a screenshot.

If he just revealed that he's in beta, he's already broken the NDA and he'll be kicked out.

As of a couple of hours ago, the guildwars2 twitter account said that no beta invites had been sent out to members of the public yet, only press.

Actually not true.. they did start sending them out and will continue to do so "over the next few days".

I would like to say "I better get one or else..." but lets face it, I'm buying this game no matter what. :s :rofl:

[Wakers]

Yea, but that was only posted a few hours after I said it was more than likely fake :p

I'd still say that, regardless of buying it. Cause after 5 years i've gotten a little impatient.

[shakey]

They are sending out Beta invites. My friend just got his.

5 years with hundreds of dollars and thousands of hours invested into GW1(I checked a week or so ago, over 2400 hours :rofl: ). It would be nice if they could somehow give a bonus "chance" if you've had an account with all expansions on, ce versions, as well.

Really though, while I will be really disappointed if I don't get in I wouldn't mind it so much.

I better get an invite.....I signed up but never got any sort of confirmation email that I was signed up, so hopefully the site actually did put my email in the system.

I've thought something kinda similar. I thought that those who played and supported gw1(a moderate to large amount) before gw2 was announced(2005/2006) should have slightly higher chances in beta invites.

As for hours of gw1... Mines, uh, over 50% higher than yours. (yeah, i played too much back then in 2006-2008, lol)

Nah, the Hall of Monuments is there for the people that have spent a lot of time with Guild Wars 1, they don't need to offer anything more than that.

I'm hoping I get in this Beta...I never seem to get in any!

[Wakers]

I have that feeling too.

[shakey]

Screw beta. I want it released and my free copy code sitting in my email already! This game looks amazing! Sorry, been watching my friend play beta and soooo jealous :p I told his wife to get me into it quicker :p

What? The beta starts next weekend, not this..

[trag3dy]

Friends and Family beta has been going for a while hasn't it?

[Blackhearted]

So, one day of "the next few days" down. Still no sign of an invite. Still quite unpleased.

Agreed.

[Krome]

Damn ANet... I've beta GW for them and reported a lot of bugs... they didn't appreciated that at all I guess...

[Wakers]

I really hate it when people get all hurt because they aren't invited to a beta test.

Don't take things so personally, geez.

[firey]

The last beta I was accepted into that was a closed beta that was actually CLOSED was um... well never. Yet I apply for all of them, and keep my system info up to date, along with account info and subscription. So not getting in to GW2 beta would be a "meh" situation. I'll buy it when it comes out and call it good.

[Pupik]

It's almost here.

Good to see that the download client hasn't changed at all from the first game. http://i.imgur.com/eBG6X.jpg

You can still create a shortcut to it and add the useful commands like the "-image" one.

Are they rolling out invites on a daily basis or are they doing it similar to Valve and Blizzard in waves?

I'm hoping I still have a chance... :rofl:

[Wakers]

No, I'm pretty sure the invites have finished going out now.

[firey]

Yea, I am thinking the same, they want to get everyone ready for the Beta release. That way everyone will hit the server hard instead of all having to download and waste in-game time.

The game is pretty expensive ?50.00 in the UK just for the standard edition. CE is ?129.99 and the Deluxe Digital edition is ?64.99.

I think I'll wait until the game has released before I pick up a copy I'm not willing to bet ?50.00 that the game will be good.

[Bambii]

Is it worth playing the first one before the second one? I came to the party late and really like the look of the second one but haven't gone through the first one yet. Is it needed/worth it?

No one has confirmed prices yet. These are RRP from NCSoft - direct from them in the case of the digital versions, and suggested retail price for the CE. This is always the case - publishers charge way more than retailers do. Look at how much Microsoft charge for new PC games on GFWL.

Wait til April 10th when proper retailers are able to sell pre-purchase packs and pre-orders, the price will be more like normal.
