GW2 Beta Scams

There are a couple of scams floating around that claim to offer players access to the Guild Wars 2 beta. Our team recently came across a website, riddled with Trojans, that made these claims. Another scam involves videos where scammers claim to show you how to hack into the game if you give them your account information, and promise to give you access to the Guild Wars 2 beta if you give them all of your game account information. These scams compromise your account security and potentially compromise your computer's safety.

This is just a reminder that the place to find any information about a Guild Wars 2 beta (if and when it is available) is our official website.

Thanks Regina. Any idea on when any official GW2 info will be available?

Not at this time. I have no new information to provide about GW2.

Thanks for the heads up.

That is sad...

They've answered this multiple times recently. The 'higher ups' have decided that they plan on announcing GW2 in one big splashy go, and aren't telling us squat at this time.

Now, repeat to self "GW2 is not vaporware, GW2 is not vaporware" .. and come stick your head in the sand with me.

Thanks Regina for the heads up. It amazes me that people still fall for scams that involve giving out your account information

lol one of those worth a shot things

To be honest alot of these things are kind of obvious, if it isn't announced on the site then its a blatent scam. Ones about account info make me laugh as Anet will never ask you for account information such as passwords. Even the Xunlai part of the site asks for a different password etc to keep things safe

That doesnt mean what i think it means? And thank you for the heads up.

yay its regina again! ^__^

will we ever get to see a more casual side of regina?
or is that thing not allowed for anet community managers? o__o

Exactly. Or, keep pestering them untill they give in and start living up to their previous promises of info they made for 2008

Thanks for the heads up, Regina

It's horrible sites like these exist

Suckers.
There's one born every minute. Still, thanks for the heads up.

Regarding Regina's if and when statement, the sentence structure and grammar of that statement refers to whether and/or when a GW 2 beta is released or announced. Not to GW 2 specifically.

lol, if players attempt to learn how to scam and hack Guild Wars, let them get scam in return.

And so, we find out that Guild Wars 2 Beta doesn't exist.

No news is no news.

Ahhh =(. Maybe next year hahahah. Whatever I don't really mind, as long as the finished product is good.

Sigh.

12 freakin' characters. -__-

Maybe they aren't doing a public beta, and thats all regina meant.

GG

Thanks for the info Regina. Don't hesitate on telling us more stuff.

Maybe they looked at the beta of GW and how, in the end, it was a waste. They had to completely redo a lot of the game after release.

Thank you Regina, for the warning. Too bad that it will be mostly the young kids who get taken in and lose their accounts.

*crosses her fingers*
