Just a quick warning, if you do send an invite to a friend let them know to expect it. I sent one yesterday to my friend who has been wondering about getting GW2 but unsure if her computer would be able to run it, and although you have to put in your name when you send the invite she said that there was nothing on the email she received to say how they had her email address. Fortunately she did not delete the email as spam straight away knowing I played and knowing that we would be chatting later that evening. So its fingers crossed she can get on tomorrow evening and see what the fuss is all about.
