The Final Countdown—Guild Wars 2 Launch Times

August 28th, 2012—the day Guild Wars 2 launches—is fast approaching. Everyone here at ArenaNet is anxiously counting the days right along with every Guild Wars 2 fan. As you may have seen, we host a countdown timer on the front page of our official website.

The information below will give you specific details about times and dates based on whether you pre-purchased, pre-ordered, or are picking up a copy of the game on release day. For those players who have not pre-purchased or pre-ordered the game, Guild Wars 2 will officially launch at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 28th.

  • Pre-Purchase with 3-Day Headstart: Everyone who pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 will enjoy three full days of Headstart Access. The three-day Headstart Access will officially begin at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 25th. However, please note that in order to ensure we’re fully prepared for that fateful hour we may bring servers online up to 3 hours prior. If you’re a player committed to getting in first to grab that character name of your dreams you’ll want to be keeping an eye on things during that time period.
  • Pre-Order with 1-Day Headstart: Those who pre-ordered Guild Wars 2 will be able to participate in one day of Headstart Access. The one-day Headstart Access will begin at 0:00 AM Pacific time (GMT -7:00) on August 27th.  NOTE - Pre-Order code registration is now enabled.


Download the Client today: If you’ve registered your pre-purchase or pre-order and created your Guild Wars 2 account you can go to account management today and download the client. Be sure to update the client periodically to minimize your download at launch. We look forward to seeing you in-game very soon!

I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    I can't wait cause this is the first game in 5 years my wife has wanted to play to her last game was EQ2 before that WoW and before that was EQ:OA and she loved that game. But in truth with all the BWE's and stress tests I myself have been waiting 5 years for this I pre-purchased the game the first day they allowed at Gamestop and have owned 2 copies on paper that is and I then later went and paid for one more for my brother so he could play. Now we have just 2 days and 7 hrs and 15 mins to launch cant wait.

    East coast is 3 hours ahead of ANET. So 12 am is 3 am for you...minus 3 hours for the early launch(if they do that) means you can start clicking login at midnight your time. 12 AM, Start clicking. lol

    TL:DR You can start trying to login at midnight your time. Might not get in until 3 am though

    The Deep Web is sca-ry.

    Argh.. can't decide between Sanctum of Rall (my beta server) and Tarnished Coast. Both looking good. I will miss being able to pick both.

    I admit I'm more excited about this than i probably should be.

    Waiting for: A skill-based MMO with Freedom and Consequence.
    Woe to thee, the pierce-ed.

    Same... probably because it feels like there's nothing else out that I even remotely want to play. Just over 2 days left.. *twitchtwitchtwitch*

    I hope to see more folks from mmorpg.com playing on Sanctum of Rall,  just for the sentimental reason of paying tribute to the man who's name the server was created for. If you haven't read the story, or heard of it, you can read about it here. Although I'm a minor member of the guild Gaiscioch, I'd like to extend an invitation to pay tribute to Oldroar. Details

    I am also very impressed with ArenaNet, and how they have followed the story, and created such a wonderful gesture by creating the server in his name. /salute
