For those of you patently waiting for the release (or at least public beta) of Guild Wars 2 there is some good news for you.
The pre-purchase date for the game has been set. There are three different versions you an buy, and the more coin your willing to part with the more goodies you bring home.
All versions of the game will give you access to the weekend beta's between now and release and also give you a early start on the game when it is released.
According to the official Arena.net blog, Mike O'Brien states that they have definite plans to release GW2 in the year of 2012.
Also they have just closed an open beta session, and will be starting a second closed beta in February that invites press members (I hope that means me!) after that they have plans to vastly expand the beta invites in the months of March & April to include public access.
I for one am very excited with the news and can't wait to get my hands (and monitors) on Guild Wars 2.
It was announced this week that ArenaNet will be allowing private PVP server for Guild Wars 2. This is a ground-breaking move from the company that introduced the first free-to-play to North American audiences. I will be looking to host a GW2 PVP server here at the WSGF when the game launches.
