"Pre-Purchase with 3-Day Headstart: Everyone who pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 will enjoy three full days of Headstart Access. The three-day Headstart Access will officially begin at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 25th. However, please note that in order to ensure that we’re fully prepared for that fateful hour we may bring servers online up to 3 hours prior. If you’re a player committed to getting in first to grab that character name of your dreams you’ll want to be keeping an eye on things during that time period."

I just woke up and I think the title pretty much says it all lol.

Just to avoid any confusion, we should stay on the emhry bay server for this next beta weekend. Shortly after this bwe, some of the guilds in the sunrest group are going to be making decisions about servers. I'll make sure that information is posted in the group so people know servers.

"Earlier this year I told you that 2012 would be the Year of the Dragon, and that the next few betas would help us nail down our actual launch date. Well, after the results of our latest stress test, I’m happy to announce that we’re ready to nail down that date."

"Guild Wars 2 will officially launch on Tuesday, August 28th."

"To this end, I’m excited to announce that our next and final Beta Weekend Event is planned for July 20-22."
