Yippie!

If your diagnostic tool is failing to send the data and proceed to Step 2, just keep trying! I'm guessing they're a bit overwhelmed at the moment, and it took me 4 or 5 attempted scan/sends before it went through.

Fresh off of the disappointment of TOR, and having seen what was in the Closed Beta, this all can't come soon enough.

Does anyone know how much this will cost upon release? $50?

 

[Gizzmo]

Most likely $60

I'm not sure. I'm going to guess between $50-$60 for the standard edition and more for deluxe/special/limited/collectors (if available). Of course it's free to play with an optional in-game store, too, so there's that nifty bonus.

Its actually probably going to cost around $70 because of the production time that went into the game and the lack of subscription fee.

Uh, no? There's never been any word from ANet OR NCsoft on the official pricing and $70 is outlandishly high for any new game. Guild Wars (the original launch of the first title) was an even $50, I believe, and follows the same monetary model.

Publishers and developers have no reason to gouge their customers; ANet is particularly good about this, given that they have specifically stated that most of their income is derived from microtransactions--which is becoming vastly more popular than subscription models for a reason--microtransactions pay the bills better than a subscription fee.

I would anticipate it to be priced at $60 for a standard edition, tops.

I cant see a $70 tag on this... They will make up for lost money with micro-transactions and incentives. I just hope it isn't as bad as LotROL where everything except a default dude costed extra.
