UPDATE: Signups are now closed.

500 - Internal Server Error

Wow, it must have got slammed, it worked for me literally 5 minute sago.

UPDATE: They just tweeted they are having problems and are working on it.

Saw their facebook post about the page going slow and I was like 'what page?'. Then scrolled down to see the sign up post and shat bricks.

The signup page is busted. But that's what betas are for!

They should've beta tested their servers.

Managed to sign up and I'm now refreshing my inbox for the confirmation email.

Singed up and got my confirmation email, I hope I get in.

Works fine now, gogogo guys!

Also thanks a ton OP!

Damn, you need to give the specs of your pc using a program. Have to wait til I get home tonight.

Good luck duders.

Love me some Guild Wars, hope I got in.

Won't accept UK, England, United Kingdom, Britain or United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I'm fucked.

@JammyJesus:

I got as far as "E" in England and United Kingdom appeared in the menu, so it worked fine for me.

@JammyJesus: I typed in "Sc" and it popped up with UK for me and accepted it fine.

/signed the fuck up :) Thought this day would never come.

Started to sign up and then everything changed over to German. Something is wrong here.

Don't worry (like I did) if it only shows you having one HD or GPU. They sent out a tweet saying there's only room for one field, but it is getting the information about the other components.

Reading the FAQ I learned that your character names from GW1 carry into the full game. Need to go make a placeholder character just to reserve a name >.>

Why is it in German?

Awesome, dude. Thanks for the link.

Waiting for the confirmation email!

Thanks OP! :D

I signed up. GET HYPE!

Done! I hope I get in...

Not sure why it was in German but I just got my confirmation e-mail. Really hope I get into this beta.

My pc specs might blow the away lets hope i get it!

Did it take long for the confirmation to arrive? I signed up but nothing yet.

I hope we all get in.

done ... the PC spec thingy was wrong though, only recocnized one of my HD's ... now they think I only have 7 gigs free

Took mine about 10 minutes to arrive

Not got a conformation email yet. They said it might take a while. :(

For those of us waiting for the confirmation email:

Guild Wars 2GuildWars2The system is just a little slow. If you have not gotten one at the end of the weekend, you can request a resend. ~RB

They know if you have multiple hard drives so don't worry if you only had a couple of GB free on your primary hard drive:

"If you have more than one HD or graphics card, Scannertron IS indeed sending us the info. It's only displaying one field. ~RB"

It didn't like chrome for some reason.

Pick me pick me pick me!

@2HeadedNinja: The guild wars 2 twitter confirmed that the spec reader submits all available hard drives even though it displays one.

I suspected this might be the surprise they hinted at on Twitter yesterday, but I didn't allow myself to believe it. Well, now I believe it. Get hype! Hope we all get in duders. Good luck, have batman.

SIGNED UP!

I'M VOMITING HYPE!

I got signed up right when this went up, before the site got dominated. GLHB duders, beta Lincoln Force unite!

Ahhhh! 3 hours late! This is what I get for sleeping in.

@Dark_Lord_Spam: There is more than enough time still. This is not a first come first served kind of thing, either, so no worries.

I signed up, but with my luck, I doubt I'd actually get an invite. Eh, probably for the best anyway, doubt I'd have time to play as much as I'd like.

hope i get in.

: / - I "signed up" but have received no confirmation email.

ED: ... yet. I wonder how you request a resend?

Luck to all on this one - although I wont mind it if I don't get in.

They said (I'm pretty sure on twitter) that if you don't get an email by the weekend you can request a resend. I havn't got mine either so I'm in the same boat as you.

So flippin stoked! I have been waiting for this game since 2007. Sign me up son!

signed up and got the email, I just hope my crappy computer pass. I'm hoping they want know if old computers can run the game.

..probably not

@Branwulf: thanks for this dude ;)

I'd love to sign up for this. Unfortunately, I can't do it because the only computers that I use are the ones at work. = (

I know they could run the game, but I don't know how much a company would want to let a duder in a beta when he's running Smartlaunch and a lot of other programs on computers at a LAN center in order to keep everything running without discs in the trays. = /
