Guild Wars 2's first beta weekend runs April 27-29

The first beta weekend for ArenaNet’s Guild Wars 2 MMO runs April 27th to the 29th. The studio will let fans know once the beta client is available to download to the Internet masses.

A blog post with specific details for the first beta period will be forthcoming. Character progress made in the beta ”will not be carried over” to the live release - it’s not a head start.

”The blog post with details will be published later today or tomorrow. As we said, the Beta Weekend Event will be April 27-29,” twittered the ArenaNet devs. Visit the website.
