At 20:00 SAST, Wednesday the 22nd of February, ArenaNet announced that beta sign-ups for the hugely anticipated massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Guild Wars 2, had opened up.<\/p>\n

Eager applicants are asked during the sign-up process to download a DxDiag tool humorously named “Scannertron” that will send their PC specifications into the ether and then launch a browser for the next part of the process.<\/p>\n

Sign-ups are expected to close on Friday, 24 of February at 20:00 SAST.<\/p>\n

The huge influx of excited players resulted in some \u201ctechnical trouble\u201d over at ArenaNet which has reportedly been resolved.<\/p>\n

Guild Wars 2 public beta is expected to begin sometime in March with many MMO lovers hoping that it will be the one to revolutionise all MMOs.<\/p>\n

With a raised level cap of 80, a new quest event system, character biographies and underwater exploration, Guild Wars 2 is proving to be ambitious.<\/p>\n

As with the original game, Guild Wars 2 will be subscription-free, requiring players to only make a once-off purchase.<\/p>\n

Beta sign-ups can be done over at the official site: https:\/\/beta.guildwars2.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
