Post your screen schots from the BWEs here. :)

1.  That's my RP Character, Alasse, about to give the final strike to the scorpion thingy there.(I can't remember what it's called) Notice how Gwen just sits there and watches as if it is a picture show...

2.  This is from the March Beta. I remarked to Cel that it looked like he had scales and we started dancin' like we just got up. :)

3.  My PvP Mage, Lady Alasse, Gleaming in the sunlight of the Tombs of the Primevil Kings.

4.  A friend of mine from school Saturday around lunch time of the March Beta. I had to show him how to use things like /dance, but he had to leave after about five minutes lol... EDIT: lol I just realized the position he's in makes him look like he's sick! lol..

*Only picture number three was from this beta.

Here are some shots of the final moments of the last beta.

First, we get invaded by pigs:
[attachmentid=142]

To escape the pigs I head back to the Guild Hall but suddenly I get turned into a giant present:
[attachmentid=143]

Well, the present opens and to my surprise I'm surrounded by the Garden Gnomes Who Say "Ni":
[attachmentid=144][attachmentid=145][attachmentid=146]

What happens when their fuses run out? AHHH it burns!
[attachmentid=147]

To make up for the gnomes I get showered with gold and experience: (hey an Oink followed me!)
[attachmentid=148][attachmentid=149]

Then comes the fireworks show:
[attachmentid=150][attachmentid=151]

Finally they send in the Infernal Wurms to clean house:
[attachmentid=152]

-420

EDIT: Did anyone get any screenshots of what it looks like after you drink the Hunter's Brew from the drunken hunters Celestial1 is talking about?

Uh, you probably didn't have to quote the entire post since you replied directly beneath it.

Yes, there was a surprise at the end of every Beta for those willing to stay up that late. It was easy for us West Coasters.

Last Beta they sent little girls after us to kick our asses:
[attachmentid=153]

The Beta before that, if you were in an area where one of the developers was hanging out you got shrunk really tiny then enlarged to super titanic size!

(searching for screenshot)

Before that it was mostly developers comming on and asking players for their opinions. (Throbble suggested to one developer that we be allowed to kill Prince Rurik because his AI at the time made him suicidal. A player said, "But Rurik is the hero!", Throbble quickly responded, "No, Rurik is a NPC, I'M the hero.")

If you edit your post and go down to where it lists your attachments you can use the "add into post" button to place the pictures in your post as a thumbnail.

EDIT: May help to convert them to JPeg (.jpg) using something like LView Pro.

I got a couple screenshots *Goes to open up Windows Explorer and goes to the GW screenshots folder...*

Ah yes, 3 exquisite screenshots:

1) The "big tower" in Wizard's Folly, where Elementalist Azuire stands. Amazing.

2-4) The drunken men within the forests came up with a song, just for me. Yes, they should be in the correct order; they were drunk afterall.

I got fed up trying to get them to stick in the post as thumbnails, so I just uploaded a .zip.

A few scenes from the cataclysmic Beta Weekend Events endings I witnessed. What fun!

The 10th of Jan 2005 - We got good and shrunk - look at the base of the fire - those are players - Lilith Addams stands by the fire:
[attachmentid=173]

A second later: Here comes an NPC to give some perspective:
[attachmentid=174]

The 21st of March 2005 - Gwen let's us know how she *really* feels (that's me as Lilith hiding behind the funerary obelisk):
[attachmentid=175]

The 18th of April 2005 - Finally, the wurms from the BWE:
[attachmentid=176]

What I wonder now is how are the skills for PVP characters going to be earned... It would be a pain to make RP characters have to earn them, but it gives more of a challenge and no skills = pretty much dead fight. :ph34r:

The unlock button had said "Unlock all skills for beta weekend." They may change whether you earn them or not, but I'd like to find out.

They may give a few base skills for each class in PvP only but if not, we will have to find any skills we want to use in the RP game. That's cool though because it gives you a chance to find weapon/armor runes, which will unlock those runes for PvP.

I think a character built through RP ends up being a more powerful build than a PvP only char, with custom weapons and whatnot.
