No Guild Wars 2 beta in 2008

If you were looking forward to perhaps beta testing ArenaNet's upcoming action RPG MMO Guild Wars 2 this year, you are out of luck. According to a revised version of FAQ on the game's web site the beta test won't be happening this year.

Here's the official word: "Although we publically alpha- and beta-tested the original Guild Wars while it was still in early development, with Guild Wars 2 we will commence beta testing closer to the game's release. With that in mind, we will not start beta testing in 2008 as we had originally planned. Guild Wars 2 is a very large and ambitious game, and Guild Wars players rightfully have very high expectations of its quality. We want players to be absolutely blown away by the game the first time they experience it."

Looking forward to this one so much no matter when it comes out or betas.

On a side note due to all the Diablo 3 news, the team who made Diablo 1 and 2 split from Blizzard to form Arenanet, the people who made Guild Wars 1 and are now doing GW2.

So in effect, this is more diablo than diablo 3 is :PPosted at 12:45PM on Jun 29th 2008 by Haggard

I am a total fan of GW in the age of 25 BUT for me deverlopers failed badly.

Guildwars was an awesome game during the years while new campaigns came out. Now the only thing we can do in that game is doing the same thing over and over again. No fun anymore.

They didnt make a new campaign becouse they said "GW2 is very soon , until than Eye of the North will fill the gap"

In case Eye Of The North is nothing mora than 4 days extra experience wich has only 1 goal. Raise the number of the possible reachable titles.

Less and less people plays GW. Kamadan used to be a town totally filled by players multiple times. (kamadan 1, 2,3....10) Now we reached the point when if u want to see a full town u have to choose an american server.

I used to play GW a lot. Now the number is 3-4 times every MONTH. Guildwars is loosing its players and the fact the BETA is only coming out in 2009 shows us the release will not happen before 2009 summer.

EPIC fail.
