The first thing I done when I saw the link was to do it before it crashed due to transit

Wahoo!  In.

For a moment I thought it was just me because of work... whew.  Guess there's nothing to do but check back.

not exactly sure if i should be happy to see i'm not the only one who's having that problem signing up for the beta.

i think someone's using the force to screw up the page

It took me about 8 refreshes to get in and another one to admit my profile. But since they said it is up for 48 hours you probably can wait a while.

Worked for me earlier today. Do NOT keep refreshing the page yall, that just crashes webpages even faster considering many other people would be doing the same. Don't start a trend ;x Got 48 hours as of today to sign up, you'll get it in eventually.

"Knock Knock..."

"Who is it?"

"KA!!!"

"KA... who?"

"KA-BOOOM!!!"

Now... will we see the same people that complained about TOR's "lack of foresight" in having adequate beta webserver infrastructure posting similar comments, here?

Wheel sea.

Well that's good. Because I got into the page from work only to realize that they want to download a tool to get specs.

Have to wait until I get home.

If you get error, try again, and make sure you run that analyzing tool as administrator if you get send error.

Damn I can't apply cuz I'm at work with this crappy PC, not at home with my good PC :/ I wish I could sign up and attach the dxdiag later... ah well

Just worked for me, smooth and easy. Might have deteceted I am in the EU and used a different server? who Knows. No confirmation email (of the signup).

Just F5'd my way to the sign up process. Now all I have to do is wait for the confirmation.

Thank you for the reminder. For some reason I never got the Guild Wars 2 Newsletter, altho I registered for it like 10 times.

Is there a certain issue with hotmail?

Why not use that to your advantage to increase your chances at getting in (with another e-mail)?

Or do they check that kind of info later on?

The site worked for me, as I got in by F5'ing. Now I'm F5'ing my e-mails. Still nothing. Maybe ArenaNet has something against Brits. :P
