GW2 will go out strong.. and I hope they sell a shitlaod of Copys. Also everyone remember they make the money of the BOX.. So getting bug fixes and other things will be FREE of Charge..... its a Win WIN situation...
GW2 is a B2P MMO, they will sell more copies than swtor probably, like Battlefield 3 did, and every single B2P game out there. Swtor is MMO with a sub, u cant compare the box sell of gw2 with swtor at all. And i dont know why in everysingle post about gw2 we find the word ¨swtor¨. The gw2 fanboys really hate that game, i wonder why?.
March/april beta. I suspect the game will launch in may or june, i have a lot of friends who say october. I really don't think so, i think arena.net wants to make sure they beat d3... since both are cash grabbers.. Launching before d3 can only do them good, i suspect d3 will be standard blizzard summer flair of june/july as well
Is it just me, or did Areana net just go balls to the wall the last 7 days? They did nothing basically forever and now are just slamming people with information etc.. etc... They know their game is close.
If one gets into beta can he/she make screenshot and record gameplay for personal use (not for public). And once the NDA gets lifted release that material?
Record video and taking screenshots for personal use is fine.
Releaseing that data to the public after the NDA is lifted is NOT fine unless Arena Net specifically says it is OK to do so.
Generally NDAs cover all material that falls under them, forever. Unless otherwise stated at the time the NDA is lifted.
"There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer."
First of all I have been signed up for beta, since over a year ago, maybe 2? dont even remember....
They made a new application? Seems strange to me, also, I am not that interested in the game yet I signed up anyhow, just cuz I would like to see what its about.. Could be a total laugher...

your chances are 1 in a million. if there are 1 million sign ups then only 1 of you, that leaves a chance of 1 in a million.
You sir are terrible at maths...Basicly your saying that there only taking in 1 beta sign up lolyou have to consider the amount of people A-Net will accept into the beta.... Not just the 1 million sign ups
You sir are terrible at reading past post 7 hehe
Post 9 already covered it ;P
I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.
I can't believe that only 1m people signed up for GW2 ;D I thought it would be way more. I guess a lot of people were not aware of the signup or they just didn't have any internet access for the last 2 days

GW2 has all the GW1 followers. I think that even if only GW1 players bought the game it will still be successful especially after an expansion or two. I really want them to release an expansion every 6 months or 1 year similar to wanted to do with GW1. To be honest, I really hated Guild Wars 2 when it released because they abandoned Guild Wars 1. Sure they released patches from time to time but it pales in comparison to the amount of content they released through expansions.

Assuming a 2k person beta (thts assuming a lot , i know, it just seems a conservative number in which they could get reliable info) that means about 1 in 500 chance of getting in beta. Probably lower as some of those slots will be taken by press and some high level guilds.

All this speculation on odds to get into beta is really quite pointless considering they are most likely taking computer specs into consideration during the selection process.
Sure you're entry might come up, but if your computer doesn't fit the criteria they are looking for than you always had a 0 in 1,000,000 chance of getting into the beta, you just didn't know it.

i am not surprised!they were almost neck to neck to wow prior to announcing gw2!1 million in 48 hour for a beta?ouch!i sure hope they have a balancing system like they had in aion cause i dont want to face server imbalance!
they never had a balancing system in aion, because arenanet had nothing todo with aion.. that was NCSoft, NCSoft is just the publisher for GW2 nothing todo with development side of things... that aside server load is handled by this method
*your server* = Full
game puts you in another server temporarily until your server has become available then gives you option to log over to your original server, thus being an amazing solution to queue times.. instead of making more servers, they address the actual issue at hand.
but again that isnt answering what you said - there is no faction balance issues because there is no factions...
This game will fail badly... I love how much people hype a game up, when GW1 was not even an MMO... It was a wannabe MMO, this game is all about graphics.....
I can't wait for all the people to whine, and I will say I told you so!!

Let me guess.. you like SWTOR?
He does. If you check his post history you'll even see how he used to be complaining about people hating on SWTOR on these forums, but now he's doing the same on GW2, lol....

This is the first time they let people sign up for beta, so you're either lying or you got fooled into a fake beta site.

You must be thinking of newsletter subscription. When I bought gw1 I was given an brochure which had a page with gw2 old logo (the green one) and it said: "Want to find out more about the Guild Wars 2 Beta? Sign up for the guild wars newsletter: eu.guildwars.com/newsletter.

I hope GW2 won't end up like other MMO, server dying out just after few months of intial launch.
Maybe cus gaining EXP is too easy thus making leveling fast while rushing all quest/events till one hit level cap.
Wonder how GW2 will deal with this?
Whats the tale that this tells?

I suspect gaining all the achievements will be no easy feat and that is what I will be trying to do.
Plus there is the PvP, competitive and WvW, and also 7 other professions to try out
It was either posting 'are you really that stupid?' or playing along
You obviously don't know anything about statistics
Or elementary school math for that matter.
Edit: Also, what is a gongrat :O? Sounds preeettttyyy intense.
Amazing news! And well-deserved on ArenaNet's part. Congrats!

Good luck with that lol.

So they had a 48 hour sign-up and then locked it out? That's disappointing. Oh well.
