your chances are 1 in a million. if there are 1 million sign ups then only 1 of you, that leaves a chance of 1 in a million.

but how many rabid fans created 10 email addresses and signed them all up.

1.5 million signed up for SWTOR and that flopped, doesn't really mean anything imo. Just means more people are interested in the MMO genre compared to 5 years ago.

The Beta sign-up for SWTOR was open for like 2 weeks soo..

Pretty impressive that this was just for 2 days.

SWTOR flopped?.... please enlighten me. I thought 1.7 million active subs was pretty good.

I agree with you though, in the sense that a million beta sign ups is not a sign of success. It IS a sign of interest though. GW2 looks to be great and I signed up for sure.

Ummm..no. But this topic is not about SWTOR so lets just leave it at that.

Beta sign up's mean nothing.

And to be honest, GW2 is going to be a success even if the game is mediocre, and that's because it's B2P. Anyone who doubts that GW2 will have great box sales needs to have their heads checked, it'll sell very well.

It offers great value, $60 for the game - even if it only had 30 hours of content, it would still be better than most other single player games. The fact that it's an MMO is just a bonus.

LET ME IN ALREADY... I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE....aaaaaahhhahasoidfjaseopt,c'parog'e[tkog.p!!  ;)

Seriously though.  The remaning time until this game releases is going to suck hard.  I usually spend my entire Winter burried in an MMO, and this year I had nothing to play since SWTOR was such a joke.  I'm just going insane now.  Need my fix bad.

I do wonder if they check IPs as a lot of people signed up on multiple e-mail accounts (I kinda wish I had thought of that actually XP)

I think I saw on the twitter that sign-in up with multiple e-mails don't increse your chances to enter beta. I think it's because of that program we had to download.

I truly hope this isn't serious.  A sad day for the human race if it is. 

They will likely be able to identify the IP address, email address and PC and if any of those cross over between more than one account they will discard the duplicates.

It's not likely to be as easy as 1 in a million if 1 million sign up, read my previous post to see why.

Good ole Suzie Ford.

They hit 1 million. PIC

Yeh seen that on twitter, Pleased as punch for them, I'm sure they surpassed their expectations, I'm not sure if they know how popular they are right now.  lol

propably let in around 10k applicants, so yeah, your chances are very limited

The question now begs to be asked, how many will they take lol.
