Guild Wars 2 beta sign-ups are live photo

Hot on the heels of last weekend's closed press beta, ArenaNet is now taking applications for all future Guild Wars 2 beta events. Sign-ups will only be open for the next 48 hours, so if you're interested, you should put your name in the running immediately.

All you need to do is head to this website, submit your contact information and your DxDiag file, and you're registered for future beta events. There's no guarantee you'll get in, and specific dates for future betas haven't been announced yet, but if you're at all interested in Guild Wars 2 I strongly suggest you sign up.

I'm assuming I will need to be on my PC to do this, correct?

@tekbunny yep, the signup requires a dxdiag from your computer, they've got a program that does it automatically and once they receive it they let you put in the rest of your signup info.

Kinda hard to get into the site now though, it keeps going down and then back up, I think they are getting swamped with applicants :D

The server is getting hammered hard, took me a few tries to submit, but it worked eventually. Keep trying.

After nearly 7 years of GW1, I am so ready for this game.

Done and Done.
Had to refresh 3 or 4 times to get the page to load.
Had to do the Scannertron program twice.
First time when I hit send it loaded up the GW2 page but in French.

Just keep refreshing! You'll get access eventually. It took me about 5 minutes of refreshes.

>Launch beta
>Site crashes

So I'm assuming there's a somewhat dedicated audience for this? One I'm part of hopefully.

Must... get... off... work.

I wish I was smart enough to have bought some ipecac like that guy on workaholics.

For those having issues sending data from the diagnostic tool, just keep trying. I'm guessing it's overloaded, but I had to do it 4 or 5 times before it submitted properly and it brought up Step 2.

Neat, but will pass. Will most likely just wait for the reviews on this one.

Nope. ArenaNet has been and will always be quite secretive of their plans.
