Players in the closed beta will get 25 USD worth of gems for free. Grab your pitchforks
Hello valiant testers!
The weekend BETA event has been in full-swing for just over 24 hours now, and we’ve seen thousands of people roaming the lands of Tyria, battling in the arena of PvP, and fighting for their home world in WvW! If you haven’t already, NOW is the time to join us in the largest Guild Wars 2 Beta test to date!
For this beta event only, we have provided everyone with a special offer in the Gem Store! We offer you this weekend opportunity to pick up $25 USD worth of gems for FREE! While you will be asked to provide your credit card information, this is to help us test the brand new billing system we’ll be using when the game goes live. To do this, a standard authorization charge of one dollar (plus tax) will be placed on your card, though it will be refunded within a week depending on your bank’s processing speed. As these gems are free, this is one of the most valuable contributions you can make to this Beta test this weekend. Not only does this help us test the systems that will eventually handle all of these purchases, but will help us get a feeling for what items and services we can offer that players are interested in. YOU can help us define the very future of the Guild Wars 2 gem store!
To receive these gems, you must visit the gem store by pressing [O], or clicking the diamond icon in your top-left icon bar. From the Commerce panel, you can then select “Get More Gems” from the bottom of the left-hand menu and follow the steps from there. Your gems will immediately be added to your account, which you can spend at the Gem Store for items, costumes, and other useful treats!
We’ve also opened up the official testing forum where we’re eagerly awaiting your feedback, thoughts and discussion about the game! Be sure to check it out and contribute to the discussion:
Thanks everyone, and good hunting! :) ArenaNet
