Just a few minutes ago ArenaNet announced that Guild Wars 2 will be releasing on August 28th, 2012.
I cannot wait for this game to finally be playable without me racing against the clock for a weekend
event or stress test that lasts a few hours. Now I just have to nail down the class I am definitely starting
with and start getting a plan together for my progression and exploration. We also get a final Beta Weekend
Event on July 20th-22nd.

Here is a link to the Blog Post.
