Guild Wars 2 Gets a Launch Date After One Final Beta Weekend Event

Back all the way in 2007, Guild Wars 2 was first announced, with news that developers ArenaNet has begun working on it. Now, after about 5 years later, the epic MMORPG is set to be back and with an official launch date of August 28th, Tuesday (as always for games).

But just before that, there is going to be the final Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend Event which is currently set from July 20th to the 22th. The several beta weekend events before had proven quite enjoyable, with minimum lag and a rather interesting gaming community. Hence, after all these stress-tests which was quite successful (as claimed by them), it seems that the final game would really prove to be ready, unleashing the heros into the wars.

And as the President of ArenaNet puts it:

These are exciting times; we’re on the cusp of a new era in online roleplaying games, and we’re glad you’re on this journey with us.

Well, I'm just going to say I'm excited about this, and will be looking forward to explore more of it when it launches. But for now, I reckon we get ourselves ready first.

Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend Event Starts!

I recently just received my beta key for Guild Wars 2 and it was just so appropriate as the Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend has just started. You see, unlike some other games, Guild Wars 2's beta is not playable all the time. It is usually only available when the people behind it announced a so called "Beta Weekend Event".

So anyway, here's a few screenshots on me installing the game before I write a full post on my first impression on the game. Cheers!
