Hi Everyone.
If there are any guild members or friends of yours that may want to take a sample of GW2 but don't want to pre-purchase, Curse are giving away a bunch of keys for the final beta (they had 50,000 at the start).
I got one for someone so they're not even impossible to attain; you do need a Curse account, though. Free but it means signing up if you haven't already.

I do not know how long the key is available while you register, though, so perhaps have them get the key themselves or be at hand to do the registration. But all you need is their preferred display name, birthday and email address. I believe any GW1 links are optional and can be added later.
Moved this to the non-GW2 forum for those that don't visit there.
Yes, that would make more sense, wouldn't it.
Thank you. I don't know how long the offer is going but hopefully anyone that wants one can grab one.
Just a note that ArenaNet has confirmed, as suspected, that the one-shot beta keys available through this promotion are NOT region locked.
If you are having trouble picking up a key through the U.S. half of the 50,000 keys then take a bash at the EU ones.
Ewwww. Why would I want an EU one?
Because an EU key is the same as a US key at this point. Though I'm going to assume you weren't being serious so this response is superfluous.
