Originally posted by Zezda Wow. You guys are getting scarier and scarier. I've yet to do this on any forums, but now may finally be the time: WOOOOOOSH! I hoped he wasn't serious not because I was saddened by the prospect of having a meager 1 in one million chance (because those obviously are not the odds) but because that was insanely poor reasoning on his part. I was hoping he was just messing with the poster to whom he was responding, but now, it turns out even if he was just playing a joke, there exists others who actually do fail at the most basic reasoning skills :(
Your chances at getting into the beta are contingent entirely upon how many people they plan to invite. If they had planned on inviting 1 million players, then everyone who signed up will have a 100% chance at getting in. If they had planned on invited 300,000. Then you have approximately a 3/10 chance at getting in, varying slightly based upon your computer specs and what they're looking to test. You would only have a 1 in one million chance if they only intend to invite one person (as a poster immediately after the original "1 in one million" post was quick to point out, but was somehow continually missed.) |

I don't think it is impressive. They claim 7 million copies were sold for GW1. So suppose 3.5million GW1 players aren't aware of GW2. And suppose even the other 3.5million which is aware of GW2, half of them are not interested in GW2, then still the number is 3.5M/2 = 1.75M. And we still have not taken into account the players who did not play GW1. Soooooooo seriously, it is not impressive. Guild Wars 2's 50 minutes game play video: |

I believe everyone who signed up will get in but it will be phased. Some will be allowed in on the first weeked of march and more and more as more weekends pass by but that's just speculation... or maybe I'm psychic. This is not a game. |

Originally posted by nomss Find me any other mmo which is proven to have garnered 1 million beta applications in the first 50 hours of applications opening. Even ToR only managed 1.5 mil after god knows how long. Whether they got their first mil in 2 days is unknown of course, but that doesn't take away from Anets achievement here. Now, this shows nothing as to how successful the game may or may not be come release, but please don't try to convince others that this is not impressive, cause it is. Edit: Also that 7 million number included expansions. |

Originally posted by nomss It is when you figure it was only active for 50 hours and they did not do much to promote it. Not everyone has them liked on Facebook or follows them on Twitter, not to mention there was next to no warning that this was coming. I have friends that are extremely interested in GW2 and missed/nearly missed the sign up for a string of different reasons. |

Almost a million people were paying close enough attention to sign up within 48 hours, I think? Plus, they had this .exe you had to run, which takes your dxdiag specs, and sends them in, before asking for email address, etc. That might have put some people off.
I wouldn't have even known about it, if not for WoodenPotatoes. How many people follow that guy? When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

Originally posted by someforumguy lol. anyway, on reddit, the dude said they'll be looking for tens of thousands. so if you applied only once (which most people didnt), you probably stand a 1 in 20 chance or so. which isnt bad. |

So we can expect a ton of "I GOT IN" threads I assume? The way mmo's were: Community, Exploration, Character Development, Conquest.
The way mmo's are now : Cut-Scenes,Cut-Scenes, Linear Story, Cut-Scenes...

We should establish a safe word if we get into beta so that we don't break the nda. I vote for "Lemon Tree" or "Tippy Toes" |

If one gets into beta can he/she make screenshot and record gameplay for personal use (not for public). And once the NDA gets lifted release that material? |
