Guild Wars Chapter 2 Full Beta Event

[T-D-C]

ArenaNet®, creators of the number one selling online roleplaying game Guild Wars®, and NCsoft® Europe, the world's leading developer and publisher of online computer games, announce today plans for a landmark event to preview Guild Wars FactionsTM, the highly anticipated follow up to 2005's critically acclaimed game Guild Wars. On March 24, 2006, game players around the globe are invited to participate in the Guild Wars Factions Preview Event, an exclusive and one-time opportunity unlike any offered before. All current Guild Wars players can join the event, and will be able to invite up to three of their friends using an in-game invitation interface. Entry into the beta event will also be available through the Guild Wars Factions European online pre-order, details of which will be announced shortly. A game beta test of this size and scope has never been offered before and is a unique event for both fans and the ArenaNet team alike. With current Guild Wars players, their invited friends, and players around the world who purchase the GWF pre-order converging on the game for the Guild Wars Factions Preview Event, ArenaNet is preparing capacity in all its data centers to handle record-breaking numbers of new players. "To be able to open up Guild Wars Factions and share this one-time experience with so many people is truly a thrill," said Mike O'Brien, ArenaNet co-founder. "Guild Wars players will get the opportunity to play Factions before the game's release while sharing the game with up to three of their friends. We can't wait for the feedback from the seasoned players, as well as those who join us for the first time on March 24." Guild Wars is an online roleplaying game where players explore a rich fantasy world, acquire skills, build personalized characters, and compete in head-to-head guild battles with players from around the world. In addition to the compelling game design and innovative technology that make playing Guild Wars a unique experience, Guild Wars' success is due in part to a revolutionary business model in which no monthly subscription fee is charged to its users.

Hey Guys,

A massive Beta event for Chapter 2 of Guild wars is being planned in March. Guildwars Chapter 2 is not a an expansion set it is a stand along product so you won't need a prevoius version of Guild Wars to play any of the new chapters.

As we have a few Guildwars players on the forums I don't see how we can run out of Invites to this event since 1 person can invite 3.

Please post your thoughts in this thread and also if you want a invite so we can organise it closer to the actual event.

Pick me pick me!

Oh.... mine... gott...
First of all, I am thrilled at this... But then ti got me thinking... This would most likely be a lag bomb, not a lag spike. Hope they can manage it [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

[T-D-C]

I reckon they can handle it. They have just added a heap more regions with japan, taiwan & korea so hopefully it shouldn't be to bad.

Also the lag wasn't to bad on the PvP beta weekend.

I'll Have "TWO" unused invites to give away so,
if everybody will post that have the Game and the
number of unused invites they have maybe we'll have
enough to go around for everybody. I'd love to get
everybody at IW hooked on Guild Wars

[Bahamut]

I'd like an invite

[Luvian]

Well, it's still a while way but I'll probably have 2 invites to give out. Maybe more I buy a second account before that.

[T-D-C]

Yeah I will have 2 to give away as existing characters can't access the beta event. Make sure you indicate which email address you want it sent to.

P.S we can send out the invites now.

[Bahamut]

Whoops. I have my own invites. LOL

BTW I still have no access to the TSS board.

[T-D-C]

LOL Opps usually I get a email about new people wanting to join.

All fixed now!
