'Guild Wars 2' beta weekend announced

NCsoft and ArenaNet, the developers of 'Guild Wars 2', have announced the second public Beta Weekend Event for 'Guild Wars 2'.

From Friday 8 June 2012, until Monday 11 June 2012, hundreds of thousands of fans who have pre-purchased 'Guild Wars 2' will have another chance to explore the world of Tyria.

ArenaNet's Lead Producer, Chris Whiteside, provides further information on the ArenaNet blog, including that "existing characters have not been deleted, and you will be able to continue right where you left off!".

The only way players can guarantee access to all 'Guild Wars 2' Beta Weekend Events is to pre-purchase the 'Guild Wars 2' Collector's, Digital Deluxe, or Standard/ Digital Editions.

In addition to access to our Beta Weekend Events, players will receive three-day Headstart Access prior to launch and the exclusive Hero's Band in-game item. Pre-Purchase is available at buy.guildwars2.com or from selected retailers.

In the coming days, eligible players should look for an email coming from NCsoft with additional information on how to download the client and additional account registration information.
