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.

This is an incredibly momentous day for the studio and for me personally. This journey began in 2007 when we first announced that we were beginning work onGuild Wars 2 and that you wouldn’t be hearing from us for a while. Then in 2010 we unveiled our manifesto for Guild Wars 2: a living breathing online world that challenges convention, that’s designed for fun instead of grind, and that brings social interaction to a new level in an online world.
Through all the long hours and hard decisions, we were bolstered by the knowledge that we were not in this alone. All along you’ve been there for us, cheering us on, supporting us when we needed it, testing early versions of the game, and above all, giving us your honest feedback every step of the way. Guild Wars 2 is a better game for all of the work that our community has put in.
Now that we’re just two months away from launch, we’ll spend our remaining time optimizing, polishing, and balancing the game, to ensure that we provide you with the best launch-day experience we possibly can.
To this end, I’m excited to announce that our next and final Beta Weekend Event is planned for July 20-22.
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.
We’ll see you in-game.

Just woke up, saw this, really thought I was dreaming, smacked myself, realized I wasn't....almost died of joy. AND the last beta weekend is in the middle of my VACATION.
 
Plus the headstart begins on the 25th so we get the whole weekend to kick it off with. I'm gonna have to stock the fridge cause I'm not stepping outside until work the following Monday.

Fuck August is a cluster for vacation at work. I am gonna end up owing people at work lol.
 
I think I'll actually have a couple days of vacation to be able to use for that Monday and Tuesday. I'd offer some kind of road trip LAN session if I had the space for some guildies, but I don't have the room.

It's all worth it when you finally achieve the Monday - Friday job. Trust me. Games will come and go, but a career is forever......

CHEESY.

Can you do this? I don't think it would be needed as I've never had anyone use it.....oh no now I've jinxed it.....but I can always just use an alternative on the off chance someone takes my name that I've been using for the bast 15 years.....
