There isn't any open world PvP. At all. All PvP happens in instanced areas away from the PvE areas, the two are completely disconnected. PvP happens in a sliced off section which is deisgned for WvWvW. But it won't be happening in the same woldspace as dynamic events and such. This is for the benefit of both true (as in, not vultures) PvP players and PvE players.
From the first page, I know. But I felt it had to be stressed again.
Not strictly true. There are also dynamic events in the WvWvW area.
Just like they're in the dungeons.
They seem to like putting dynamic events all over the place.
BUT for all we know their lying so were super suprised when its annouced!!! But we NEED a bone. I NEED TO PLAY THIS YEAR PEOPLE I NEED TOO!!! I've already come up with guild names, character names, and whom of my friends are buying the game...
I mean this is what the time line should be...
Gamescom: Over than whats already coming... Closed Beta Tesing at the end of September.
Rest of time line!
In september they reveal the last profession and the rest of the dungeons, Close test it for 2 weeks any problems make it 4, they probably don't even need that much time because I remember hearing that team members are playing the game regulary so only a few bugs or exploits would need to be fixed. Right after closed beta testing do an open beta. In the beginning of November, after which we'll see a end of November/ December release date!
PvP is going to be a huge attraction for GW2. My eyes are on Open World PvP, and what that entails. Is there going to be seige warfare? How large scale are the battles? What kind of terrain is offered and how it will be exploited open world and instanced?
So many questions, and I hope we get to some very interesting answers.
These are very interesting times, indeed.

Which can be a confusing way to put it. We're talking open public instances, right? Or private team instances? That can be a huge difference in how "open world" an instance feels.
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world.

WvWvW isn't an instance, its a zone. It is persistent.
