ArenaNet has finally given fans of 2 the answer to everyone’s question: “When will launch?” We can now settle down as that release date has been revealed with a launch date of August 28th, 2012.

With the newly announced release date for Guild Wars 2ArenaNet has also announced the final Weekend Event and when the Headstart for Pre-Purchasers will begin. If you haven’t already obtained your copy, now would be a great time to jump in on the action!

The final weekend for the Event will be from July 20- July 22.( and Guild Wars anyone?) This will be the last time players will be able to play Guild Wars 2 until the release, so better get your fix in then. The Headstart will begin 3 days before launch on the 25th of August.

Go pre-purchase your copy of Guild Wars 2 today so you are ready for the Beta Weekend Event and the launch. See you in Tyria!

    How will you know when one starts? I have been told its likely that one will start in the next 8-10 days, but will they email you? Or will you have to look on the website to be sure?

    Also, what do you think the chances GW2 will end up like SWTOR, rift and all the others that were so hyped up about before failing?

  2. I bought a code from their website then I got a couple emails the email that said congratulations had a link that took me to their forums and I don’t know how I can download the beta client in preparation for the next beta weekend event. Please help!

  3. This is the only serial code customers will receive and will grant access to the Beta Weekend Events, three-day Headstart Access, the Hero’s Band digital item, and full access to the final live game.

    i bought the game today i open up inbox no email to show that there was a serial code for download to gain access to guildwars 2 beta (Was bought of retailer that is listed in guildwars 2 website)

  4. Im guessing Guild Wars 2 will come out in the middle of 2009. I really can’t wait to play it.

  5. Hello!
    I just signed up for the guild wars 2 beta, but i can’t find out when it will first start. Does anyone know anything about this?

  6. Well, I guess my question is, Is it worth playing Guild Wars now seeing as Guild Wars 2 is coming out this year and also what does hall of monuments entail? I ask this because you can get rewards from hall of monuments in Guild Wars 2 from your original Guild Wars character.
    Thanks!

  7. I read that the minimum system req for Guild wars 2 was a GeForce 7800. However, my computer is running dual SLI ( 2 GeForce 7600′s) and can run just about any game at its highest graphics setting with no problem. Will this be good enough for Guild Wars 2 or will I not even be able to get on the game?
    Thanks for your help!
    *Edit* They are 7600 GT’s, not just 7600′s.

  8. I have signed up for guild wars 2 beta. I downloaded the file and they got my computer info stuff (can’t remember the name atm) its just under a week since I went for it. I am under 18 but i read the FAQs and it said if under 18, get parent permission. Which i did. So what are the qualifications and how long do you think before I get accepted/rejected.

  9. How soon after we pre-order on April 10th do you think we will have our first beta weekend event?

    I’m planning on buying Guild Wars 2 when in comes out but I might be somewhere else at the time so I will have to play it on my laptop instead of my desktop so i’m wondering if I could use the disc on two different computers.

  11. Im doing a Simple machines project and i need to know what to machines i can compare their mechanical advantage or how much work is done for you. My topic has to be water related

    I also need To have 2 seperate ones to compare Power(how fast the work is done) these also needed to be water related..

    I need these as soon as possible the project is due tomorrow…

  12. Guild Wars 2 comes out soon and i need a good computer to support it. Ill use this computer for gaming and internet. Looking to spend anywhere from 200-500 dollars.

  13. I pre purchased the digital deluxe edition on the 29th of june, but when i click login on the game it says that there are no events currently happening or my account may not be eligible to attend. I thought you could play the beta 24/7? or is it just on the event weekends?

  14. You have 2 spreads, 5 meats, and 2 kinds of bread. How many different sandwiches can you make using one of each type of ingredient?

  15. Pretty part of content. I simply stumbled upon your web site and in accession capital to assert that I get in fact loved account your blog posts. Anyway I’ll be subscribing to your augment and even I fulfillment you get entry to consistently rapidly.

  16. I bought my beta key today, and I was in the middle of creating a toon when I was disconnected. when I tried to log back in, it said that the account I was using can’t access Aion. What does this mean, did it go down for the weekend untill the 31st and the next closed beta event? can somebody please shed some light on this for me?

  17. I just got to more kittens in additions to my other 2 kittens. I noticed this morning when i fed them (6 in total and kept outside) 2 of the kittens sat on the food. So i poured another pile and one sat on that too. They are around 2-3 months old. The other 2 kittens are 2 months and the others are over a year. If the other 4 try to eat the 2 claw and bite at them. How can i make them stop being agressive?

  18. Okay so I am going to Pre-order GuildWars2. But what I would like to know is if you pre-order at say GameStop and get a retail version not the digital version (Just the normal everyday version not the collectors or deluxe). How do you get early 3 day access and access to Weekend Beta events? Or can you still get access to all those things, Or do you have to buy it digatally to get the early access to weekend events and stuff?

  19. I’ll be watching TV and 2 ads of the same company come on in a row and only 2 times. Never more than 2. Just pointing it out lol. I’m sure they would buy up all the ad space if they were allowed to.
    Ohh that makes sense. Repetition is their game.

  20. We had 2 female cats, (one 11 yrs old, and this 2 yr old) and about 4 months ago got a 5 yr old male from a shelter. The 2 yr old female seems to think that she is the Alpha Male of the house and is constantly battling with the male, and will even growl at the other female if she hangs out with the male. The two will kind of get along sometimes, and I really think that half the time, they are only playing, but I hope that this is not a teritorial thing. Anyway, the 2 yr old has chewed (and destroyed) MP3 speaker wires, 2 computer’s speaker wires, cell phone charger wires, computer mouse wires, and most of the time, they are still plugged into the outlet! I am afraid that she is going to be electrocuted or decide to move up to more bigger and better (hopefully not tastier) appliances. HELP!

  21. This is going to sound a lot like Sub4Sub, but I don’t want it to.

    Basically I have a group on Steam called “Panau” (fans of the game will get this), and I just want more people to join so I can put some time and effort into making the group better. I have three games in my inventory that I will do giveaways with (and I’m an avid user of Steam Gifts) and the current established members of the group are also willing to help. If you do join, you can post events and announcements (just IM me on steam if you want to) for not only JC2, but any game (we have frequent TF2 and LoL sessions and we are expanding to MapleStory).

    I’m a huge JC2 fan ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoLB3symEz0WAaPQ4CPf4b7ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20120609210832AAi0HKi ) so join in on the fun.

    Also don’t forget the JC2 Multiplayer Beta this weekend (i.e. right now)
    Anyone?
