Yup heard about this on TeamSpeak from a Clan member, totally ecstatic! Gives me a chance to get my hardware too, if the graphics card ever gets in stock. ¬_¬

No preorder in Mexico:

I've tried everything humanly possible to get a CE pre-order, but I guess I'll keep dreaming about that Rytlock figure.

*goo · 04-19-2012

It's not pre order, it's pre purchase. Have you tried directly on their site? You have to pay for it now though.

Obligatory TapaTalk signature.

Is there any other way to get a beta key?

Just as further information. You can buy from:

https://buy.guildwars2.com/

They've stated via Twitter it doesn't matter where you are to buy directly from their site.

The Beta Weekend Event is Coming!

By David Campbell April 19th, 2012
more on: beta

We’re counting the days until the first public Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend Event, which begins on Friday, April 27, at noon PDT (GMT-7) and ends on Sunday, April 29, at 11:59 p.m. PDT (GMT-7). Hundreds of thousands of players from around the world will get their first taste of Guild Wars 2—and rest assured, we’ll be playing alongside them!
There are a couple important things you need to know about this Beta Weekend Event:

The only way to absolutely guarantee your access to this or any future Beta Weekend Events is to pre-purchase any edition of Guild Wars 2.
Customers who have pre-purchased the game will receive an e-mail next week with instructions on how to download the client and participate in the Beta.
This is a public event, which means that you’re not bound by a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). So go ahead, feel free to take screenshots, shoot video, blog, tweet, write, or compose a rock opera to share your Guild Wars 2 experience with the world.

Let’s take a look at all the cool stuff you’ll be doing during the Beta Weekend Event.
Choices, Choices – You’ll create your own personalized charr, human, or norn character and pick from our eight powerful professions. Your choice of race is vital to your personal story, and it determines in which of the huge starting areas you begin as well. A noble human mesmer will have a radically different game experience than a charr engineer in the service of the Iron Legion. Fortunately, you can roll more than one character and sample each starting area for yourself!

Worlds Collide – If you want your PvP on an epic scale, look no further than World vs. World, where three teams comprising hundreds of players wage open war across four vast maps. You’ll lay siege to castles, raid supply camps, build devastating weaponry, ambush your foes, and leap into truly massive PvP battles—all for the glory of the server. We’re warning you: WvW is so addictive that you may spend the entire Beta Weekend Event there!
PvP For You and Me – After you’ve gotten your feet wet, put your newfound skills to the test in Guild Wars 2 PvP, where small teams battle for points on a variety of challenging, compact maps. We adjust the level of PvP combatants so that all players are on equal footing. If you’ve got a competitive streak or you like playing first-person shooters online, you owe it to yourself to try out Guild Wars 2 PvP!
I Love L.A. – For the first time ever, we’re opening the metropolis of Lion’s Arch to beta players. Wander the streets of this cosmopolitan trade hub, chat with traders and travelers from every corner of Tyria, hop through one of the many asura gates to points beyond, or discover the famed diving platform at Diverse Ledges. Lion’s Arch is a city like no other!

As you can see, there’s a ton of stuff to do in the upcoming Beta Weekend Event on April 27-29. It’s honestly way more content than one person can experience in 60 hours of playing—and we haven’t even included the asura and sylvari in this beta! Fortunately, this will not be the last Beta Weekend Event before launch—stay tuned for more news regarding the next event.

We’ll see you in-game!

Patched myself and ready to go too, also got my new GFX card literally through the post now and I'll be installing that in a mo. Just need the DP to DVI-D adapter and I'll be 100% ready to go.

*goo · 04-25-2012

Currently downloading now but it's coming in at 52Kb/s - Lol!

The weekend will be over before I've completed.

*Edit* It's just spiked up to 500Kb/s, now we're starting to get somewhere!

**keefy** · 04-25-2012

Wait so we have to buy it to play the beta

What is this guild wars all about?

**Varsh** · 04-25-2012

You're telling me that you've never seen Guild Wars? Well it's rated as the greatest online PvP game ever, on top of that even though it's not an MMO, it's series of games is all in the top 10 of MMORPG.com, now that's saying something considering that there's over 200 MMOs! Guild Wars 2 is on top and by a LONG margin because it's going to completely revolutionise the way MMOs are played and everyone that's so far been in the Betas can't think of a single bad thing about the game so far - I think we're onto one of the biggest changes in gaming history with this game and frankly I can't wait. Time to prepare for a new way to play MMOs.

**keefy** · 04-25-2012

Just seems like a lot of money to pay for a game £50 to then find out I amy not like it, never been into any MMO.
even fter the initail game cost is there monthly fees?

No, never. Go download the free, 14 day trial for the first. It'll give you a vague image of what Guild Wars is all about.

**Xelios** · 04-26-2012

Ugh, I want so badly to play this, but I don't know if I should spend the 50 on it. I absolutey loved Guild Wars 1, though, but I really don't know anything about this other than its coming out. I guess I'll jump the gun on this and preorder it.

**Varsh** · 04-26-2012

Pre-purchase it so you can play in this weekend's Beta.

Also remember that even though it'll be £50 think of it this way, MMO's make you pay ~£30 at release, then it's about £8/m afterwards, so in 3 month's you'd have paid £54!A year's gaming on an MMO would usually be around £96 excluding the cost of initial purchase.

GW2 is looking cheap now isn't it?

Oh also GW1 is essentially a single player game with "lobbies", but as it has almost the same system as other MMOs it's put in the same category as one, and ironically it does things better. GW2 thoug is going to be a proper MMO this time around and will be a very different game.

Most mmo now a days are treated as lobby games anyways. Sure there is an open world but your majority player base will sit in town in a que to be teleported to a dungeon.
