Its a stress test for them so they want a lot of people in. And if they decide they dont want to play it after the weekends thats fine since they already bought the game anyway. | ||

Dude we are fking close to launch it seems. Btw I dont know how the fuck they are going to handle all of us prepurchasing and trying to get into the beta. From what I read earlier GW1 had similar beta and lasted 6 months. So sounds like we might still be pretty far from release, although I wish it was coming out early summer but I know that won't be the case | ||

Open Beta should be short, and they intend to release it immediately after beta. Unless they intend to go through the summer with betas, which I highly doubt, it would be stupid to release it in the middle of Summer. It's probably coming in May. | ||

I hope you are right, I haven't read anything how they plan but if you read an interview or something where they said something liek that, that would be ballin. Would love a May release but not to hopeful for it considering the first open beta weekend isn't until end of april. | ||

They said open beta is going to be fairly short and we are entering the open beta phase now. | ||

Think I read it in this thread, but other people claim to have sources that they said beta will be short and what not. I haven't been reading/listening to interviews until recently so the guy who claimed gw1 beta lasted 6 months might be completely different for gw2. I have no idea, I just don't get to optimistic about a good release date in may because A. That's when school ends for me so I would have a lot of time to play and for some reason games never release when I have a ton ton ton amount of time .I may be completely wrong, if they are planning a short 1-2 month beta then awesome, hope its going to have a good launch and can play soon. Do I think that will happen? No not really I just would be shocked if they released it at an awesome time  | ||

With the promise of the CE getting access to "all beta weekends" I am quite sure there won't just be 2 or 3 of them too - since people probably pay the CE specifically for the beta-weekends. there are quiete a few weekends in a month. And they said it often enough, open beta will be short and mainly stress tests. You dont need several months for a stress test. | ||

It's not just for the CE, any prepurchase gives access to all beta events. | ||

Or are people only allow to play beta during beta weekends? Yeah, only weekends. How it worked in SW:TOR was that you got a mail inviting you to a specific weekend. You could preload the game and one a certain time on friday, you would start playing. Monday morning or such, you can't log in anymore and have to wait for another invite. | ||
