Guild Wars 2 beta signup.

I'm hoping that PvP will be done "right" since Guild Wars is PvP based.

You need to come over to BF3.

The concept of WvWvW is very intriguing to me, I have to admit.

Some WvWvW footage from the recent press event:

I just read this article on crafting (I'm a crafting junkie in every MMO I play) and it sounds fucking awesome.

I like it, though I hope it gets better organized before launch.

Also, I've been wanting this in WoW, so I hope they do it in GW2 - I want the ability to click on an item (say a mighty dagger) and if I have the ingredients for the components, it builds the components first, then the dagger. I hate switching back and forth, trying to figure out how many more hilts I need to match the number of thingamajigs I have, etc. Maybe have 2 numbers in parenthesis the number you can make right now with components, and the n umber you could make if the number of potential components were made.

Been watching GW2 for a while. Hoping it revolutionizes the pvp game for MMOs. And apparently it hit 2m signups according to something I read today.

1m. They extended the time limit a bit to watch it hit 1m. There's a video out there somewhere of ArenaNet reactions. Nothing much to see though tbh.

There's like 80000000000000000000000 addons in WoW that will do that.

Beta invites have started to be sent out.

Yes, beta invitations have begun going out. They'll be sent out over the next few days. Please remember that discussing the beta in any way, shape, or form -- including your status in it -- is a breach of NDA. Don't risk your beta access! ~RB2

[TheEschaton]

Beta invites started going out last night, should come out in waves over the next day or so.

A reminder that the NDA explicitly states even disclosing your status as a beta tester violates the NDA.

All pre-orders come with guaranteed access to all futue betas and a headstart prior to launch.
