Those of you who would like to get into Guild Wars 2 for the first time ought to find a friend who owns the game and proceed to bug them incessantly -- they'll have the opportunity to send out three invites for a free trial weekend starting on November 15 at 9:00am Pacific. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
