Guild Wars?

[Adida]

I'll make a new forum soon. I should be receiving my alpha account very soon. I rally enjoyed the taste we had earlier this year but the game will need added content or it will turn into the shoots and ladders of MMO.

i still have to pre order it hehe

One of the GM's should try to get BWC in the Alpha so I'm not alone -

ArenaNet, in conjunction with several fansites, will be expanding the Alpha/Beta test for Guild Wars. This first opportunity is available to guilds interested in helping to test the game. Each of the Official and Elite fansites has the opportunity to recommend three guilds to ArenaNet for possible inclusion in the tests. All guilds are welcome to apply, though each guild should apply to only one of the participating fansites (TGH, GWOnline.net, RPGStars.com and Guild Wars OGaming). Each site will be recommending three guilds each over the next couple of months, however all applications will be sent to ArenaNet for consideration and this is only the first such opportunity to be offered - if you miss out this time there will be further chances in the future.


Application Qualification:

To qualify for this opportunity, your guild will need to satisfy these requirements:


Guild has at least twelve active members of age eighteen or over (age requirement is for legal reasons).
Willingness of members to abide by the NDA and to take the testing process seriously.
Guild members invited will need to be available for testing sessions starting at 7:00pm PST Wednesdays and Fridays; each guild invited is expected to field a team of eight during each session.
Willingness to forego participation in any public contests that ArenaNet may offer; you will still be eligible for any alpha/beta tester contests.


Application Procedure:


Apply to only one of the Official or Elite fansites (TGH, GWOnline.net, RPGStars.com and Guild Wars OGaming).
Fill out this form (zipped .rtf document, please email me if another format is required) and email it to GhostRaptor.
Submit a thread in this forum. You must submit the thread (we will not create it for you), and you should be aware that the forum is moderated - all new threads and posts require a moderator to approve them before they will be visible. Include a link to your guild website, a member list (preferably TGH forum usernames where applicable), a short guild history and guild philosophy, previous game testing experience, why your guild is interested in testing Guild Wars and a brief explanation of why your guild would be a good choice. This thread will be used over the next few weeks for public comment, questions and other possible events designed to help us (the TGH Staff) arrive at a decision.

Each guild should be prepared to prove their potential as testers of Guild Wars. For example, we might ask you to prepare a build for 8 vs 8 guild warfare that you believe might be an unbalanced strategy and explain to us why you hold that belief. The entire TGH forum community will be encouraged to participate in the forum mentioned above by asking guilds questions or providing feedback on guild submissions. Please note that any guild engaging in "dirty tactics" to try to gain an advantage will not be considered.

While extensive previous game testing experience is a plus, our decision will be based on a variety of criteria including, but not limited to:


Community feedback.
Your website presentation.
Demonstrated enthusiasm for the testing and not merely pre-release training.
Good organization and communication skills.
Forum participation by your members.


Once again, this is only the first of several opportunities that ArenaNet have planned for the coming months. Guilds who miss out this time will have other opportunities to join the test in future as ArenaNet expand their test base.

That's it. It's that easy ~

No. I was invited by another guild. You guys should give it a shot though. I enjoyed the free trial this summer.
