BETA=bugs to be ironed out. People knew this before they bought the game that it wasn't final and this would be beta. It's called a BETA TEST for a reason.
curious,,,,,why they charged full price....hmm?
They probably needed the money now, instead of later. We paid for the game, not beta. We are in beta that's just a bonus

maybe so they will have a better idea at the server loads they are gonna need
don't know for real just a guess
There are times when one must ask themselves is it my passion that truly frightens you? Or your own?
Pardon me, everyone, if this is a dumb question, but as we've all 'pre-purchased' to be part of this Beta event, does that mean we've already purchased the actual game, too? When it's released? Or will we have to buy it again? Maybe I'm just dense, but I kinda figured this Beta pre-purchase thing means we can participate in the Beta AND have already got dibs on the game when it's globally released. Again, apologize for the n00b question.
Thanks!
Yes, if you paid for the game.....it's paid for both now (for the beta event) and later when the game releases. You won't have to pay for it again, dear.
LOL i like seeing people say dont whine or duh its beta, well i disagree, dont charge full game price and have it completely crash. if i pay i expect to play
It's still beta you goof :P
It's a beta people paid for.
Selling beta access has been the norm for several years now, and every game company that had problems with paid betas has been attacked when they had problems. ANet sold beta access with their pre-purchase deal, without a release date no less. If other game companies were evil/incompetent for doing so, and had problems running that paid beta, then ANet falls into that same category.
weird im not familiar with any MMO's charging for beta.
im just pissed cause i bought a pre-purchase and it wont let me log in to play, error code 9:4::5:1093:101

Something u dont understand? You pre purchased the game....... Pre purchasing the game would bring you an invite to the beta.. That doens't mean that you should be able to play the game as it was released.. Its a fcking beta... PERIOD!

The game when it comes out? That's what I bought. Beta access was a freebie they gave me because I bought the game.

Agree and people please get t his allready... tiring
You didn't buy the beta, you pre-bought the game, which they give a bonus of beta access to as well. That's a perk of pre-buying :P They say it's a work in progress all over in the game... can't expect full release for a beta. If you want a smoother experience, wait for release.

That's just the code for no beta event at this time. It just means they turned off access while they try to fix it.

You have no say in if u should be allowed to play or not. You pre-purchased the game, diden't pay for the beta.. you can play when they tell you to, not sooner. This is a beta, stress beta
i bought the game to play the beta event which was advertised LOL so what now?
Well it's still going on for a few more days. Hopefully you are able to login for at least 2 mins during that time so you can be happy about the money spent.

everyone who paid should, but i would have at least liked for them to say something, an estimate of time? or a reply on the beta forums...

Thanks for the reply, just1opinion. That helps.
Also, since this is the first Beta I've ever been a part of, and I would bet that EVERYONE in this thread has more MMORPG beta experience than me, would it be feasible for Anet to extend the Beta? Like, has that ever happened before? Where a Beta was extended due to whatever isuses or unforseen circumstances? And, if so, how would we petition to let Anet know we would like an extension for downtime?
Would we be out of line to request a half-day or even full-day extension of the Beta? I leave it to you great MMORPG minds.
Hey guys, we are aware of the issues with the game and the forums. The team is working on them as fast as possible. We don't have an ETA for a fix, but we're aiming for "A.S.A.P." In the meantime, we've added more beta screenshots from our players to our Pinterest board, so feel free to take a look while you wait.http://pinterest.com/arenanetteam/ (And you're welcome to give us links to more if you'd like.) ~RB2
