Closed! Picking winners tonight. Stay tuned for the announcement
I want to apologize to those who originally posted in this thread. I misinterpreted the requirements to post a freebie and posted before I had 10 rep. I thought that being a legacy member with over 100 posts allowed me to offer this freebie and for that I apologize. In return for my mistake, I will be handing out two (2) Guild Wars 2 Public Beta Keys that allow you access to the Guild Wars 2 beta weekend (April 27-29). This key is ideal for those who do not have the money to buy Guild Wars 2 to try it out in beta. This key was a gift to those of us who attended the Pax East 2012 panel hosted by MMORPG.com and the keys were provided to us by the GW2 rep there to use for ourselves and to give to friends. This is in no way an endorsement, just the back story to how I received them. And with that you will find the original posting below with some minor modifications. Please read the whole post, or you may miss key information that will disqualify you from the drawing
Thanks to OCN, I have been able to learn a lot and have made several friends with which I game with fairly regularly. So in the spirit of giving back, because I'm not the most knowledgeable in the technical department, I have decided to throw a freebie out.
To avoid any posts by people who don't think this is a legit beta key, anyone posting that this isn't legit is not eligible for the drawing. I would not offer something I was not informed on. Read above
From the beta code card:
"To use one of these serial codes, go to register.guildwars2.com on April 10, 2012* or later and follow the instructions there. For help, contact customer support at https://support.guildwars2.com."
"*The code signup page goes live April 10, 2012, so the above URL will not work until that date. You can only use each of these serial codes once on one account. These codes are not for resale. None of these beta codes can be used with active game accounts."
Basically, you get public beta access but do not get a copy of the game once it is out of beta.
Anyways, down to why you're all here. As far as I can tell, this is the first GW2 beta key to be up on OCN. Make sure to enter if you meet the reqs below.
Requirements to enter:
I myself have recently gotten more active in helping the community, not just asking for advice. In celebration of my new found altruism, I have decided to reward those who have been doing so for longer than I have. Limit is 1 post asking to be in the contest; post to enter must say "In it to win it!" somewhere to show you have read the rules all the way through. If I'm feeling generous, I'll give away a third key at the expense of not giving it to a friend
Good luck my fellow OCNers, and keep helping others!
Drop dead date of contest will be Friday, April 20th, 2012 by 2PM (1400) EST. A random number generator will be found to choose the winner, and a screenshot of the winning contestant will be posted to show that no favoritism was shown.
Important: No editing posts, if you didn't read the rules and messed up your post then I must apologize but it does not count and you will not be included in the drawing.
Can't stop me this time 5entinel
This was also my 500th post!!!
