To enter yourself for consideration, hit the site, run DxDiag and enter some basic info.

Want to play a brand new game for free before anyone else? If you said no then there's something horribly wrong with your priorities. If you said yes then you're in luck.

The folks over at ArenaNet are giving fans a chance to sign up for a limited beta of the upcoming 'Guild Wars 2,' which is bound to be a massive release. The signup is simple - you need to run a diagnostic tool so the company knows what kind of system you have and then tell them a little bit about your gaming experience.

Generally, people from all walks of life are given entry to betas, so don't worry if you have a crummy computer or you've never played an MMO before. It's definitely worth a go.

'Guild Wars 2' Coming in 2012, Beta Testing Starts in Spring

The company plans to give as many fans as possible the chance to try out the game before launch.

'Guild Wars' was one of those games that seemed to do alright for itself despite coming out in a post 'World of Warcraft' environment. It was different enough to develop its own audience and survive on those merits. A sequel has been talked about for some time now, but it seems 2012 will be the year it hits.

Mike O'Brien, says that this announcement comes on the first day of the Year of the Dragon. "It’s an auspicious omen for all of us at ArenaNet," he says. "According to tradition, the dragon embodies passion, independence, and ambition. We think it’s a perfect analogy for what we’re trying to accomplish with Guild Wars 2."

O'Brien says that in February, press members will be invited to a closed beta test. "In March and April we’ll aggressively ramp up the size of our beta test events so that many of you will have a chance to participate."
