Well its in all game magazins. They made it 2009 now. PC Gameplay, Gamestar, www.ng-gamer.nl/game.php , www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/guildwars2/index.html etc etc etc (can give lots more...almost evfery game site sais this).
And just like EVERY game Ever made for PC.... when an "OFFICIAL" date is released by the Main Company... ad 6months too 18 months too that date and that will be the Real Release Date.
It was originally planned for Q1 2009, but they announced that the date was being pushed back as they didn't feel they could release a complete game with the time that would have allowed them. I have no problem with them pushing it back as they have proven they release quality products if given the necessary time.
here's an "official" source
the press release about GW2 from March 2007
www.guildwars.com/events/press/releases/pressrelease-2007-03-27.php
No launch date was announced, but the ArenaNet team anticipates that Guild Wars 2 will go into beta sometime in the second half of 2008.
later in 2008,
they gave an update about the beta (not to be confused with release)

When will there be a beta?
Although we publically alpha- and beta-tested the original Guild Wars while it was still in early development, with Guild Wars 2 we will commence beta testing closer to the game's release.
With that in mind, we will not start beta testing in 2008 as we had originally planned. Guild Wars 2 is a very large and ambitious game, and Guild Wars players rightfully have very high expectations of its quality. We want players to be absolutely blown away by the game the first time they experience it.
