The site, scannertron and email responses have been having some issues, but they are saying to please be patient. If you encounter problems with the site, try again later, as you do have 48 hours to sign up. Given the sheer amount of people responding they are bound to have some issues, so patience is key. Besides, we've all waited this long, whats a little longer?

To anyone concerned with the scannertron not displaying all their info, the twitter account has stated that they are recording all the information they need for your computer, only one item is displayed in the window is all.

If you have any questions regarding the beta, you can refer to the FAQ page here on the Guild Wars 2 website:

Good luck, and have fun.

Edit:
Some further information to be aware of:

If you still haven't gotten your email after some time, you can try the following link to resend the email, courtesy of a poster in this thread. Remember, due to the deluge of people applying the system has been bogged down, so don't feel the need to try and resend if you haven't gotten the email only 5 minutes after signing up.

Anyone know when we actually find out if we get to enter the beta?

Feflar Nefzen · Feb 22, 2012, 06:32 PM // 18:32

Anyone got email already?

onerabbit · Feb 22, 2012, 06:38 PM // 18:38

My guess, we get the email after 48 hours?

I made a Dhuum shrine out of food leftovers and spare electrical appliance and electronic parts inside my closet.

After signing in, I'll be praying there for 48 hours.

I suppose they'll sent emails after they've gathered applicants for those 48 hours.

I wonder if their servers are ready for many players, of if they'll have to limit things to just some.

If you don't get your confirmation email immediately, please don't panic. It's just taking the system a bit of time to get those out :-) ~RB

Thanks for signing up for a chance to participate in the Guild Wars 2 beta test. We've received your application and we'll email you if you've been accepted.

reverse bass · Feb 22, 2012, 07:25 PM // 19:25

Got confirmed and now waiting for accept
damn i'm so bloody nervous
I WANT IN!

Monkerson · Feb 22, 2012, 07:31 PM // 19:31

YES!!! BETA!!!!

When I opened the email claiming beta sign ups are open, I carefully checked the links in case it was a phishing email. When I saw the links go to bluehornet.com I was disappointed at first because I thought it was indeed a phishing email.

But it turns out it's real!! Now I'm super excited!!!

Wyndy · Feb 22, 2012, 07:51 PM // 19:51

I had to sign up in German. Just googled some words i didn't know

madriel222 · Feb 22, 2012, 08:06 PM // 20:06

If you're on Windows 7, I had to "Run As Administrator" to get those system errors on the diagnostic tool to stop. I'd give it a whirl if that's the issue you're having.
