Also, if your PC has low specs it will not hurt your chances of getting an invite
"Not necessarily. Testers are chosen based upon development needs. A wide range of systems is needed for testing. ~RB"

More tweets, If you do get an invite to beta, telling others is against NDA just fyi.
"Correct. Nothing can be recorded. No pics. You can't even tell anyone that you are in (if you get in). No bragging rights. ~RB"

The site is experience an overload it seems, don't rush your registration, you can still signup tomorrow. Also note there is NO other website to access this, onlyhttps://beta.guildwars2.com (mind the S in https) do not see yourself scammed!

It seems a strict NDA will still be in place.

Their twitter says:

The system is just a little slow. If you have not gotten one at the end of the weekend, you can request a resend. ~RB

So I'd suggest to wait a bit, otherwise it might just stress the system even more.

The confirmation mail is nothing more than a plain text mail saying

Thanks for signing up!

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. We appreciate your interest in Guild Wars 2!

Sincerely,

The Guild Wars 2 Team

I doubt it will matter much if you recieve it or not either way. As long as you completed the form, you should not worry. But I also do wonder how to request a new confirmation mail, I suppose they will add an option on the site.

laida, on the front page post it says invites are being done at random, but the twitter post says they will be chosen based on Dev's needs (which will more then likely be random ) but just letting you know.

Edit: I also updated my OP with some tweets that ppl might like to know.

Hah! I thought it was odd.. I have been watching the big news thread to see if anyone was posting anything but no one ever did so I wound up posting it there XD. I'm hoping since a lot of games use higher end pcs, my low end pc might give me a little advantage.. or maybe they'll look at my specs and just feel sorry for me haha.

Ah true, must have misread that. Will update it tonight, unless a mod does it before me.

You'll probably be grouped based on OS, type of graphics card, sound card etc, it'll just be a random sample.

If I get it in I'll scream like a little girl though :3
