http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/first-bwe-scheduled-for-20th-t31803.html....so April 20th? As always this can change or the retailer could be wrong. I am very glad that I am away most of the first part of April on Vacation and so waiting for this game will be out of sight and mind...or so I think

ArenaNet has not yet announced a release date. I am in close communications with them and they still use the words "Months" of testing. Sorry to burst your bubble but from what I get April 20th is highly unlikely. Plus they wouldn't have invited me to come out during release week. That would be too chaotic to have guests.

Retailers will put in their own release date to try to push the sales of the item. GameStop puts up "Guessamate" release dates all the time. Trust me if ArenaNet was launching April 20th don't you think it would be plastered everywhere? The media blitz would be in full effect and usually they announce release dates at least 5 months in advance. Most games do 7 months in advance.

I believe that post had been referring to public beta as in people who preorder will start beta then, not an open beta at all. whether that is true or not, who knows, and there most likely will be more information on when exactly that starts when they officially allow preorders, which is not too far from now.

Wait and see what arenanet says in the next couple weeks.

Possibly a public beta for Pre-Purchase, but haven't seen anything announced as of yet.

Oh! Yeah i wasnt expecting the game to come out in June or July. So if i misled with with bad info on the game coming out April 20th, totally not mu intention. BUT I am hoping that April 20th is the first beta for those who pre-purchase the game.

I think that the release date will be as far away from Diablo3 and Wow Pandas release dates as possible

Game Stop had this game announced for release last fall. Even had a preorder available. dont believe anything you see at retailers. They are releasing pre-orders April 10th. but of all I have read there will be several more months of beta testing.

You can go to thier site and see the post about April 10th as the pre -order starts date.

Very excited for this game, can not wait to be with my family again!!!!!

Just to make sure its clear but from what I have read and seen at Guildwars2.com. You can only get the beta weekends and other perks if you pre-purchase, NOT pre-order. Also you have to be carful where you do so. If you pre-purchase from Amozon.com it will not count plz before you buy read the info on what retailers count for the beta weekends. Here is a link to the Guildwars2 site with the info.

I think we should get a release date next week just before pre-purchase available, it will be hard to convince people to pay $60+ for a game in advance without knowing when the game will come out for sure.

Actually, Amazon.com is listed as an official retailer according to Guild Wars 2 twitter. The link to all authorized retailers is: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/User:Stephane_Lo_Presti/GW2_prepurchase_retailers_list
