Here is the source, I am told it is a very reputable Finnish gaming website, and you can pre-order to!

Installment plan, that alone makes me say they got thier numbers wroung and need a swift kick in the.....

Waaaaaay too early of a release if thats true, seriously, they would be killed by diablo 3 and blizzard by the mighty axe of stupidity, IMO.

I think the installment plan is a way to buy the game from that website on "lay-away".

nothing says that they cant delay the release.. game companies do it all the time.

Ok before anyone else goes nuts and points out the date being "too" early....just go ahead and cal lthe mods to smite and delete the flames, if any.
I don't wan't to read a long post of someone pointing out the market issues and implications of this, I already know.
T.T

/close and sticky something about releasing unconfirmed info on gw2.

(I'm sick of people asking me in-game about it)

Not a release date.
ALL gaming magizines, websites, etc release their own fake release dates for games off of their own speculation. Just look up the old release dates given for any video game released ever. There is NO value to such claims whatsoever. They are often done just becuase the website "needs" a release date in order for its computer system to be able to accept pre-orders.
There is no way a "prestigous finnish website" would be the first to get this information.
/close please

True, but I think the main issue is where they got this date from to begin with.

My guess is out of one particular orifice that you spend most of your time sitting on...

EDIT: Damnit, Hawk beat me to it.

And if they were given a target release date, wouldn't it make more sense if more sites had it too?

More evidence is required.

You clearly know nothing about video games. This has been done for EVERY game EVER for like the past 15 years. These release dates mean nothing. They are never right. Just look at all the websites that listed release dates for games that were never even made (duke nukem forever, starcraft ghost, etc).

I've seen mods reading this thread. Why isn't this closed already? It is pure speculation and will do nothing but confuse Guru members and cause uneeded speculation. I don't want to hear anymore "OMG a.net lied to us, GW2 wasn't released on time" crap because of some release date made up by an obscure finnish website.

NVM: You guys aren't mods of this subforum. Still, close is coming.

Umm.....

Pointless thread?

How many have similar threads have been created, lets just get it over with. GW2 will be realised When ANet thinks it's ready.

I clearly stated in the title that the date was not official. I am simply sharing my discovery, take what you will from it.

As far as I am aware, my sharing was not an offense suitable for your suggested thread closing.

I am sure that is your motive.. to protect the guru members from my horrible speculation and preserve the honor of the prestigious pop-up riddled guildwarsguru.com.

please if you have no evidence to support or debunk please post somewhere else.

There is nothing criminal about getting a thread closed or deleted on guru. It is not some crime against humanity. It actually happens a lot. You should not feel so personally offended if your thread gets closed or deleted, or if someone suggests that it should be.

I'm pretty sure that ANet had their own projected release date for GW2 (beta?) that was pushed back. If ANet is prone to schedule changes, I don't know how a third party can be more accurate than them. That supposed release date means nothing.

I can make shit up too. My sweat cures cancer. How can there be a release date when this GW2 isn't even in beta stages yet. Not to mention you broke the page with that link >_>.

Uhmm pointless post? I love how 90% of your posts are "+1 omgimsoleet".

Back on topic, as said, we need more proof tbh, or at least a larger collection of evidence, I think larger gaming sites/companies would be notified, not "Sum finnish site lulz".

Dont you think that if there was a release date the guild wars website would be the first place it was posted?

Most gaming sites set their own guesses, I'm sure if we all looked around there could be seventeen different dates for the release of GW2.

Until we get an official date set by ANet, then we don't need to have all these unofficial threads.
