Over One Million Sign Up For Guild Wars 2 Beta

NCSoft may have only been accepting entries for its latest Guild Wars 2 beta push for 48 hours, but that didn't stop a massive one million players from signing up for a chance.

We were informed of the milestone today by NCSoft senior public relations manager Lincoln Davis, who says that the interest in the game "clearly demonstrates players demand for something new, and Guild Wars 2’s innovative design philosophies are proving to be just what they’ve wanted."

Sadly, the sign-up period for this round of the beta is now over, but if you want to know what you'll be missing out on for now, you can read my highly positive beta impressions.

  • well, that makes my chances of getting in that much harder... :(
  • That's really good to hear. I really hope that I get into the beta. >.<

  • Hopefully they have 1 million spots to fill :D
  • Mod
    My confirmation email was in German, I don't know if this bodes well for me or not?
  • I was really excited when I saw none of the news outlets were talking about it at first. I was hoping it'd only be a 24 hour sign up period with no one talking about it. My chances would have been much better of getting in, hehe.

  • Im really worried about how this game will turn out. as an mmo, the subscription would help the devs keep it up longer, and provide more content. without that I can only see one of two things happening. A: they fail to keep the game supported any longer than a couple of years, or B: they nickle and dime the players. either way Im a bit worried.
  • I probably won't be getting into but it was worth a shot.

  • I tried to enter, but the section for entering the country was bugged on my end.

  • Crazypants.

  • I wish my PC could run games good without bumping all the settings down to low. D:

  • I hope I get into the beta...
  • I was one! I hope I actually get in though; that's alot of people!

  • it would be nice to get into the beta.

  • im giving beta keys no joke got over 20.contact me on kuckindim@hotmail.com
  • Looks like im one in a million.
  • of course i miss the signup by a couple hours :/

  • That image.. it is disturbing me...

  • Count me in. Hope the selection size matches the pool.  Met some artists on the game in Seattle this summer and they were really excited about the game.  I'm looking forward to it as well.

  • Simply amazing
