Guild Wars 2 beta signup now open

Brian Ambrozy 22 Feb, 2012 at 2:27pm ET Article published in Gaming

Get thee to the Guild Wars 2 beta signup, run the Scannertron 5000, and cross your fingers. The Scannertron is a small application that uploads your hardware specs. Presumably they only want beta testers whose machines can handle the game.

Guild Wars 2 will be having beta “events”; if you’re not selected for one, you may be selected for another. This is up to the developers, and according to the FAQ, will change depending on the event.

Same issue as every other hotly-anticipated MMO beta: the server is getting crushed, with 100k signups in the first hour alone. Just keep trying.
22 Feb 2012 ~ 3:22pm UPSLynx Lord.. the ART of this game is some of the best I have ever seen. Pixar quality of attention to detail. It's like the lush art of Bastion but in a high budget big studio game. I can't WAIT to play this.
