Submission + - Guild Wars 2 announces release date (arena.net)
Woldry writes: After 5 years in development, Guild Wars 2 has announced a launch date: August 28, 2012. Their aim is to provide "a living breathing online world that challenges convention, that’s designed for fun instead of grind". There's a beta weekend planned for July 20-22 for those who have prepurchased the game (and for those who have gotten legit beta keys in advance).
