ArenaNet president discusses careful monetization of Guild Wars 2, the least greedy Western MMO

Arenanet has announced through their Facebook page that they will NOT be doing a beta weekend this holiday weekend. After the previous beta weekend and the stress test which followed they have determined that they need more hardware. There will not be another beta weekend until the hardware has been added.

Announcing the Next Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend (June 8-10th)

I wonder how many folks will participate?

I was hoping to take the entire weekend up of work but it was too late. If they had announced it last week I could have gotten the time off but because they waited until this week, I can't.

Also there's a large, 5 gb, update available for GW2, so if you pre-purchased and plan to join the beta weekend Friday afternoon you may want to run GW2 now to get the update.

Thanks Guybrush, always good to get that stuff done ahead of time

Also there was another small update so run GW2 again. I'm going to run it daily.

That's probably a good plan Guybrush

Unfortunately I have a 10 hour work shift on Saturday so I'm not going to get to do much during the beta weekend.

Heck, I'm sorry...I know how much you would have enjoyed it.

Sounds like some well thought out changes. Guybrush

I got to play a little tonight, but not much. Long day Saturday so I'm going to bed. Should have a few hours to try out more with warrior Sunday.

You'll have to come back and share your thoughts after you get to play.

Another small update.

I did manage to take a character to Lion's Arch friday, something I hadn't done in the previous beta. You get to Lion's Arch by entering an Asura Gate in your character's race town. Then LA has gates to the other races, except right now gates to asura and sylvari lands don't function. There are asura and sylvari NPCs around though. I met one of each in Divinity's Reach (human town). The sylvari was talking about how dirty the city was. After the sylvari had wandered off one of the human NPCs said sylvari were cute and wanted to make a pet out of one. The asura was a recruiter for the battles in the Mists but was saying humans it met were too dumb.

That sounds very humorous Guybrush
