Guild Wars 2 beta later this year
by Xav de Matos, May 18, 2011 2:20pm PDTNCSoft has revealed that a beta test for its upcoming massively multiplayer online title, Guild Wars 2, will begin in the second half of 2011.
According to Eurogamer, the announcement was made by company CFO Jaeho Lee during a conference call. Lee reportedly "heavily" hinted at a 2012 release for Guild Wars 2, before noting the game "will go into beta testing stage in the second half of this year." In what form the beta would see release was not specified.
In development at ArenaNet, Guild Wars 2 was first announced in March 2007, alongside the Eye of the North expansion for Guild Wars.
Though I have yet to play the game at any press events, Guild Wars 2 looks impressive every time I've seen it in action. It's certainly a game I'm keeping a close eye on.

so IF the beta test is 2nd half of 2011, i think it will be safe to assume that the testing will happen around late Sep-early October, which would then give them sufficient time for a November release..
unless A"Net make us happy by having the test a little bit earlier and keeping it for longer :)
