Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet - Games

I'm preordering the fuck out of this game and - excuse my wording here - but I'll become a vulgar beast once I get my hands on the sexy cover, I will let it sleep in my bed beside me, make it breakfast and most importantly I will be playing the living shit out of it until it erodes from being sprinkled all over with my love juices constantly. I will become one with my copy of the game and subsequently resist all effort to consider anything but playing and soon after I will absorb every bit of data on the game discs and imprint them into my long-term memory until I can no longer think about anything but Guild Wars 2. [editline]15th March 2012[/editline] In other words I will be preordering and I'm [I]very[/I] excited about the game and I can't wait to play.

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;35152459]All this talk of collector's edition made me think of something. Do the arenaNet employees get Collector's Editions, or do you think they just get a normal copy of the game (I would assume that either option would be free for them)[/QUOTE] No way they are getting retail copies if at all. I bet if they'd ask they'd get a code and the latest release build on a disk.

Not sure if this has been posted as to the price difference, but somebody told me that the prices for the UK (£) include the 20% tax, whereas the US ($) prices do NOT have the tax added on to the whole price yet. I'm assuming you € users are fucked like always, sorry.

Comes with a free source code.

I bet the lucky bastards are first in beta too.

No shit.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;35160530]I bet the lucky bastards are first in beta too.[/QUOTE] Gee I wonder if the people who are creating the game are testing it at any point...

You both do realise he made a joke, right?

[QUOTE=Dude Meister;35162345]Gee I wonder if the people who are creating the game are testing it at any point...[/QUOTE] Activision Blizzard obviously.

I still can't express how stoked I am just to explore a living, breathing world with so many things to do. It's like sex, except I'm having it.

[QUOTE=Dude Meister;35162345]Gee I wonder if the people who are creating the game are testing it at any point...[/QUOTE] No. The beta is [I]that [/I]closed. Not even the devs are allowed in. They have to send in specific suicide lines of code that test something and kill themselves to retain all the information from the outside world.

found this on reddit [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/JEyXO.jpg[/thumb]

The image you are requesting does not exist or is no longer available. [editline]17th March 2012[/editline] best pageking

Oh man, time to guess what was on that image.

This [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/kc087.png[/IMG] Invites are apparently being sent out

"GenderswapHP1.jpg" this caught my attention

I'm suspicious of this. Looking at other posts regarding this, the first suspicion is the email address that sent it to you.

If it is real, I didn't get in :v:

Yes, it's very much real [url]https://beta.guildwars2.com/account/done[/url]

What a wonky as fuck hour to send out invites. But I guess I didn't get in overall. That's a boner killer right there.

I didn't get in with either of my emails, nor did 3 people I know :(

Why couldn't they have done pre-purchases earlier, I want to play!

You'd think Anet would make some kind of indicator that invites flew out and all that.

No email for me :(

[QUOTE=Vaught;35173405]You'd think Anet would make some kind of indicator that invites flew out and all that.[/QUOTE] I agree, nothing was said on their Facebook, my bet: reddit is trolling.

They might also be sending them out in waves, like how DICE did with the BF3 alpha.

[QUOTE=Rong;35174438][thumb]http://i.imgur.com/28W8z.png[/thumb] More invites to come[/QUOTE] Uhm, we can see your email. Foorongxin. Either reupload with that shit blurred, or pretend to not give a fuck.
