Ditto. A month for balance and small fixes. A beta two weeks from now for Asura/Sylvari and extra stress. Then a marketing "Beta" roughly two-three weeks before heastart.
Why not ask a few of the Anet staff members that lurk over this forum? Few members here work for Anet. They know who they are. Many of them stop posting here after the Prepurchase I noticed...
Troller no trolling! (Sorry, I was subjected to Dora the Explorer earlier)
2012, late July or early August (sorry, not keen on thinking of a hard date)
Redcap, I know you said no weirdness in the posts, but I have to make a joke about quoting scripture at you. So there it is.
Um.. sure fine, just not sure which bit is the scripture your quoting?
Any of it. The mythology behind the evil goblin monster called Red Cap. You quote scripture from a holy book at him and he loses his power. I assumed that's where you got the game. If not, you should look into it; it's really interesting and weird, even for mythology.
As for the game, the more I think about it, the more I think it is going to be a while longer, maybe mid-Autumn sometime. They might have a couple or three more open weekend events, and then there will be a quiet period, and then the game will release.
"There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit."

Emerging release pattern: Last Friday of the Month
Since they already let you pre-purchase and claim it will be released in 2012, I would guess:
Guild Wars 2 Last Friday of Month August 31, 2012
If the game was ready they would already have a release date set; releasing in August gives them 3-4 months to polish it up. I am guessing they will mention the release date late May to early June.
This also gives them 3-4 months for the first major patch to fix and add additional content for the Holiday Season.

Arh I see, The lore I read had redcap as being the goblin kings head assassin, feared by all including the goblin king, you can read scriptures to me, but I don't think it will help.

19 Nov. 2012. Good luck and no hitting below the belt.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

November 30th 2012, 12:00 AM. Last Friday of the month, and just in time for Christmas Shoppers.
September 11th, 12:00AM PDT
On a side note to help with predictions (maybe) most triple A titles release on Tuesday.
I'll say July 10th 2012, it would give them time to get in 2 more betas and put in the finishing touches.
