Beta Key Winner!

Congrats to Tim L. on winning the beta key! I'd give everyone a key if I had more of them. Check the GW2 official Facebook page, I noticed some extra beta keys are being posted in comments sometimes. Thanks to everyone for entering! Remember, pre-purchasing will guarantee a spot in the beta weekend. - https://buy.guildwars2.com/en/

Beta Key Giveaway!

I have an extra Guild Wars 2 beta key (North America) waiting to be given away! This will be the final beta weekend before the official launch, and it will be packed full of new content to test. Both Asura and Sylvari will be playable this weekend, along with new maps to explore, and WvW improvements. Don't forget to try out the new minigame, Keg Brawl, that's what I'll be doing all weekend! Anyway, back to the beta key giveaway - I got ahold of an extra key that I won't be needing, and I know there are loads of people that still need a key. Since this blog is fairly new, and I haven't built a lot of website traffic yet, you should have a pretty good chance at winning, even with only one key to give away.

Enter by visiting and "liking" my Facebook page (sorry, it's lacking in content, just got it setup) or by sending an email titled "Beta Key Giveaway" with your first name (to announce the winner) to gw2comp@comcast.net. Your email won't be shared, it's just me, and it will be deleted when the giveaway ends. Limit one entry per person. The giveaway will end at 11:59 p.m. PDT on Thursday, 7/19. Each entry will be assigned a number, and the winner will be randomly chosen at Random.org. I'll contact the winner through Facebook or with a reply email, depending on the entry method. This Beta Weekend Event begins Friday, July 20, at noon PDT (GMT -7) and ends Sunday, July 22, at 11:59 p.m. PDT (GMT -7). Good luck!

The Guild Wars 2 release date has finally been announced! The date we've all been waiting for is ... August 28! They say there are plans for a final beta weekend in mid to late July. After that beta weekend, they'll begin plans for release.
