This blows chunks but what can you do about it? So we're looking at a Q3 release, is my guess. September, mark it down.
ArenaNet has said from the beginning that their beta tests were going to be pretty darn close to release, unlike most MMOs that are in "beta" for up to a year.
If nothing goes wrong we are probably looking at an very late spring/early summer release, maybe mid-summer.

Nobody releases mid summer. If things go extremely well then maybe june / 1st few days of july else they'll probz carry it over to Q3.

Load testing is usually closely followed by release. Tick.....tock.....tick.....tock.
Allthough I'd love that to be true I think that's wishful thinking.
They also mentioned that the signups were for the end of March andfollowing beta events And regularly said they'd be opening up beta for an increasingly large crowd moving closer towards launch, the release date will be determined by the results.
Logic do not belongs in this forum. Please leave the logic at the door when you enter and make up stories as you go. :P
My comment wasn't logical? Is it not the usual progression to go from stress testing directly to release where MMOs are concerned? I've yet to see an MMO perform stress tests and not release shortly after, but whatever floats your boat.

I would bet on a May release IMO.
May/June is certain...unless the beta go very bad ofc
find it really silly people thinking otherwise when they, almost, stated it....

i live in Spain. I think that makes my chances of getting elected really small. Read somewhere (i think in this same forum) that the open beta is going to be centered in usa servers, so european gamers, dont get your hopes up.
Hope im wrong , though.
i am not in EU or USA ... and i signed up ... wana know how i feel ? ! :S
testing load... thats very much like open beta.... *squeals with delight*
good example of people hearing what they want to hear i guess...lolz
and some people cant read... what didnt you understand about the much and the like?!?!
let's talk about reading......title says...CLOSED beta event... lolz.
"Open" beta is becoming a lot looser in its definition as time progresses, i mean besides some F2P games i can't think of a "tripple A" MMO in recent history that has had a truely open beta where everyone was allowed to flood the gates. Having a million people trying to play on a handful of servers doesnt really fufill anything really. I think open beta is kind of evolving to mean more of Public beta then anything. Then again i guess we could just call it public beta
Either way, not really worth grasping at straws over.
If they won't release it by the end of May-mid June i expect it to see after summer vacations. 1st September or something. As someone said earlieer.. no one releases mid summer =p

If nobody releases mid summer...there will be no competition o.O

I belive most devs want to sell as much copies in 1st month as they can. And during summer most kids have holidays so there is less customers.
