Guild Wars 2 Beta Signup Is Now Live

[GoldenArrow]

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree until more facts are shown :|

[Ezuka]

Shut up guise.

Anyways, any idea when they'll start accepting and declining? I wanna plaaaaaaaaaaay.

[GoldenArrow]

One can only guess, but I suppose they start accepting once they have events planned :J

[RipJak]

I just can't wait anymore, also curious on what collector's edition or limited edition will contain.

So i heard of some rumors, 26th of march release... what do you think? will it really be released then?

Doubt it. Most likely near summer

[invadertim]

Doubt it. Most likely near summer

Possibly May/ June if were lucky, it would never be released in march they havent even started big beta tests yet

[invadertim]

So i been wondering lol i havent heard anything about it so for PVE is it like GW1, where everything is instanced and you go outside of town to do quests and are only able to see other people when ur in a group?

micro transaction:

when WoW does it: "Wow is shit, blizzard is greedy bastard >"
when D3 does it: "D3 is the worst ever, it's activision fault"
when GW2 does it: "It's fine, stop complaining :3"

pretty much this, disgusting eh

[xDrac]

so true so true

[The Great Beyond]

I don't think it'll be released in September. That's too far if they're doing pre-orders in April. It'll most likely be late May to early June.

Now I am hyped if it's come so soon, for the summer.

I've been thinking about this for the past couple of days, and I don't think that it will have that much of an impact.

To put it simply, the gems do not create gold. They must be traded for gold that is from the game. When a player does trade his gold for a gem he or she will most likely spend the gem in the cash shop which will keep the amount of gems in the game to a minimum.

I think that it also allows players to work hard to buy cash shop items with having to use real money.

The only thing I fear is that people with rare items would increase the price of their goods since they know that there will be players that have large amounts of gold from gem trading. Got this from Guru (This actually makes some sense)

Now while this has some truth, I'd like to point out, that having more sellers (also more gems in the market) will possibly lower the prices of the gems, that is if supply exceeds demand. Especially if the buyers are 12year olds with dad's credit card, meaning they will drop the price to get rid of the gems and gain some cash. Bear in mind that you can also obtain items using ingame currency (if that is true).
Let's just wait and find out how it's going to be, for now it's only speculating and most people tend to see it as a gamebreaker and evil, while it may not influence the game tremendously.
