hmm ya i just pre-ordered today...really want to play the game and see how it is in the betatest.
You guys complain and whine a lot, just deal with it (thats my take on life...)
but the whole cost...if you think about it GW has to make money for the game somehow! they aren't having monthly payments so they trying to get most money they can within reason I guess.
Whats wrong with them thinking that their beta is worth paying for? C'mon, there is no monthly fee the least we can do is bay a measly 10 bucks to play what is possible the best beta we ever played. They need some revenue at test they will get some from this before the retail version ships in April.
Hey! I would pay the 10 bucks, the good graphics and the absents of lag told me to do it

I have several games that I paid for that don't get played because I bought the game to play with my friends.
Could have used that money for a REAL game that I had pretested with a demo of it that then passed my "must buy" criteria.
I like the fact that at least ONE developer of MMORPG's seems to get it: Buy ONCE, Play Online for Free! - Many Games that let you play Online have done the same thing. Hope that continues into the future.
I'm not against Guild Wars just don't like the "Beta Weekends" part. - It's like you are getting punished because you play games daily.

People say I'm weird for being a proud Nerd. I say people are weird for being proudly normal. FREAKS!

At least a trial test of a beta would be nice.

DOH!
Downloaded the Client just to check out the Beta Weekend events.
The install works nice, BUT it REQUIRES a "preorder" key to beta test it.
What in the HECK is that CRAP???
I've NEVER had to do that for any game betas in the past.
If the public can't beta test a game the sales are guaranteed to suffer when the game goes to retail.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
