The beta for ArenaNet's highly anticipated sequel gets underway.

This past weekend marked the first time the press has been able to get into the beta for Guild Wars 2, the follow-up to the popular RPG that took a different approach with MMOs. The sequel looks to continue that trend as the first few hours give a taste of both epic battles with dozens of other players and small quests devoted just to your character and the selections made during the character creation process.

We had a few of the beta participants sit down to talk about their initial impressions and what they're looking forward to from the game. Also be sure to check out our extra gameplay videos of the event down below.
