GW2 haters, when's the last time any game has had this many sign ups for just a beta? Even WoW didn't come anywhere near it

It's probably only really like 100k people. I only signed up twice but I'm sure most people were like intex and signed up 10+ times each.

I signed up once. I bet they will be filtering out the applications by IP as well so people that signed up multiple times get thrown out or only count as 1.

What if two people who live together both want to sign up? I don't think that would be fair for them to do that

Of course. No developer in his right mind would want to overhype those numbers!

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.
