Cause if you dont have to move...and you get paid to actually fix skills...from your home...thats pretty much the best gig ever.

Hell, screw benefits, i'd do this for $10/hr, lol

Think of it as QA from home- and I wouldn't expect payment. Hell, I'd be happy enough just to get into it.

Edit: The form is back up.

It's back up!

EDIT: I get a bad input error: We’re sorry; the server did not accept your request. Often this is due to too many troublesome characters such as “><|--;=” or other unusual behavior. Try removing troublesome characters or reducing your post size. If you continue to see problems, please contact Customer Support and reference "Issue with official website".

Maybe I typed too much? I have no special punctuation aside from periods, commas, and a few ()'s.

I got the exact same message. I'm on Internet Explorer, if that matters.

I also got the Bad Input error, then when I hit back it showed my app as cleared. I don't have time for this. Won't be applying now.

That's why you type the text area parts in a text document and just copy and paste them in

. I figured it may not go smoothly at first, so I decided to do that and I'm glad I did

Oh great, I filled it out, and misspelled the distorted letter input box at the end. Says they're suspicious of me :O

Also, I got the bad input error, so I shortened my message telling me what I would bring to the test krewe. Worked fine after that.

According to IRC, Simath has under 100 words and it still won't let him submit.

Perhaps word count isn't really the problem?

I just imagined it as us giving them a picture as to how long we've been playing. Chose my 49 month old necro because I'd imagine it looks good on the form.

My beta experience sections is 80 words and my reasons to join is 110 words...I don't know if it's a length thing or what. However, if they're going to restrict length, the application should say that there is a limit and what that limit is.

I've tried multiple times too with the Bad input error message. My posts were not all that long and didn't have any bizarre punctuation. Maybe the first test for this is figuring out what's wrong with the application.

Just for the record, it is very common for (succesful) MMOs to employ a test server program to help iron out issues in upcoming patches. And trust me; it has nothing to with any inability of employees to test their product.

Yeah, i'm getting the same error message as well. Don't worry folks, I doubt this many are typing a simple application form improperly. Just give ArenaNet some time to get it all fixed up.

i dont think you read my whole post.

i think the legal issue might be that minors would be more likely to brag to friend's and possibly leak info, im not saying it WOULD happen, just saying it COULD, then again, it could happen with anyone.

Well, over at the website I volunteer at, it's the fact that those under 18 can't legally sign an NDA. I would bet that's what it is.

Haven't tried submitting yet, but am copypasta into word just in case >_>

Participants must be 18 years or older.
Participants must sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Minors cannot sign legal agreements.

I'm no labor law expert (a business partner of mine is, but I haven't asked him with this trivial affair), but I have a feeling the real legal reason is this:

a minor cannot work unpaid for a company or corporation.

alternatively, it may be possible that a minor cannot be legally bound by an NDA. A minor could sign one (that's not illegal), they just can't be legally bound by it.

Hmmm, 29 words in beta experience, 79 in "why" and it was still failing. My only punctuation was ',' '.' and one '?'

Then I got it to work. The last things I removed were the '?', but, I think more importantly, I removed all end of line/returns - so, basically listing things and hitting return may be messing it up (despite lists being a natural thing for stuff like 'beta experience'). You may need to write each section as a single paragraph.
