    There is a signup page for an upcoming Guild Wars 2 closed beta, but it will only be up for 48 hours... so get on it!

    https://beta.guildwars2.com/

    There was a press beta this last weekend, and impressions have been extremely positive... TotalBiscuit and Yogscast have made a bunch of videos, and there are articles all over the place, if you haven't seen them yet.

    Not really a fan of the first Guild Wars, but I'm a sucker for signing up to betas.

    I tried to play guild wars again the other day. First it said my password was wrong. Then I found I was locked out of my plaync account. Then after dealing with support for 5 days I got my plaync account back but my guildwars account on it has nothing enabled, I own zero content with that account apparently. I am very confused.

    Signed up so fast I tore their webpage.

    I'm very excited for this game. I haven't been this excited for an MMO in a long time. these guys know how to do PVP and they are dedicated to balancing (a little over dedicated) and keeping the game dynamic. So many MMOs proclaim their love of PVP, and they almost ALL fall short by leagues. The best PVP MMOs I played were GW1, DAOC and Warhammer Onlijne. Every other MMO spent too much time on gear-reliance, which only rewards the elite few. The ones I mentioned all remove gear reliance in favour of allowing the player to control their odds, not the gear.

    I signed up, only vaguely recall hearing the name guild wars as some point in the past, but hey, its been a long time since I've played an MMO, and a beta is free, and other soupers will be on it. So why not.

    Thanks for the alert. Signed up. I liked what I read about dynamic content. Like 2 years ago.

    I'm extremely excited for GW2 as well! WvWvW looks insane! I also love the fact that this game doesn't force you to grind for gear, and that there is no resilience type stat. Can't wait :)

    Anybody play in the beta and still interested? I'll probably be pre-purchasing it so i can get into the beta weekends and get the 3 days early access. First beta weekend is this coming weekend!

    I bought it today, from GraanManGaming.. it's 10% off, plus I had a few bucks on my account, so I got it for $48. :) This was the basic version, mind you, but I don't pay extra for items, etc. I'll end up growing beyond in days.

    Here's my referral link: http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=hiwufawa in case you would like to buy it. Helps me get some account credit, and you too. :)

    I have a group of friends who played GW1 quite seriously which I will be playing with. Would be cool to get us all together to game. Krav.7456 is my full account name.

    We will definitely need to make a DSG guild, for everyone interested.

    EDIT: Irish pointed out to me in a conversation that he was worried a DSG guild might not get enough attention, especially with all of the attention back on TF2 atm, but worry not - in GW2 you can join multiple guilds at once, so you don't need to choose between a fun little DSG guild and a super-hardcore-pro guild.

    Info about the upcoming beta weekend: http://www.arena.net/blog/the-beta-weekend-event-is-coming

    Charr Norn and Human are playable, as well as a major city. PVP and WVW is good to go.

    And here's what had me cream myself... the WVW is.. WvWvW. It's fucking DAOC! They are doing 3-sided large-scale PVP... god damn that makes me happy.

    And of course the skill-based gameplay, as opposed to the gear-based crap of WOW and its ilk, is a VERY nice feature.

    This is the kind of "well, duh, why don't all games do this?" idea that makes me think GW2 will really break the mold and be an MMO worth playing.

    Don't let me miss the boat when there's a public beta :nosebleed:

    P.S. hiwufawufa
