Ok So I was at "You Tube" and watched a few Guild Wars videos when some guy commented there were beta sign-ups for GW2 and provided the below link.

Someone needs to shut these jerks down, asap!

DO NOT ENTER IN YOUR EMAIL/PASSWORD!!!

Link to his comment on You Tube:

User: "Gonemailing" about half way down the comments section of this video.

EDITED: Don't post links to scams on here. -unienaule

I agree, I just can't believe the person who made the site has the nads to do that.

I spent about 20 minutes entering in as many false email/passwords as I could type, heh, maybe they'll spend an hour or so trying to login to those fake accounts!

The page, which was removed for obvious reasons, was funny.
It had the picture/logo for Guild Wars 2, and the logo actually said, "GUILD WARS 2 EYE OF THE NORTH".

I'm sure any smart player would know the difference, and I feel sorry if anyone actually attempted to sign up.

Hah I don't know where you get your information but if they aren't already in alpha, then we won't be seeing GW:EN until some point in 2008.

they're in internal testing I'm sure, just no players yet.
keep in mind GWEN isn't a full campaign. theres no new classes or anything, so likely less to test.

as their is no release for a public alpha or beta, nor accepting applications TO alpha or beta test it, unless your currently a tester for them it would already be underway...

most if not all players know there are 2 teams working simeltaneously to bring out campaigns, and my guess would be 1 is working on gwen and the other is on gw2.. once the finish and release gwen all teams will work on gw2

my friend is a guildwars alpha tester... I don't know anything else about it with upholding the NDA and all, but all I do know is that it hasn't started yet.

It's funny when you realized there are a lot of people who still thinking that GW:EN and GW2 are the same game lol. From time to time you will see them posted on the forums even in game chats. These people, I believe they're working for NASA and had been on a Lunar expedition for the past 4 months.
