Can I ask why have moderators if blatant harassment doesn't get dealt with?

Mike O'brien makes an announcement on the Arenanet blog.
http://www.arena.net/blog/dragon
The most important part :
We recently finished our first closed beta test, and we’re now ready to hold progressively larger events. In February we’ll invite select press to participate in beta testing, and in March and April we’ll aggressively ramp up the size of our beta test events so that many of you will have a chance to participate. And of course, this all leads to the release of Guild Wars 2 later this year.

Official Beta Announcement
[quote author=ðεrfεℓ † καðαrηε link=topic=158876.msg2123362#msg2123362 date=1265649724]
And who are you?
 A two-feet-tall midget dual wielding 5ft long two-handed swords?
 Or a blue-skinned half-squid-half-goat uncorrupted demon of light from outer space who is a wild shaman?
 Or are you a killed, then raised, then liberated, then killed, then raised, then liberated again human whose eyes used to glow not, then glow yellow, and now glow blue (I'm not even talking of your spine portruding through your skin, your armor and your cloak)(and the ability to speak without lower jaw)?
 Or are you an elf who can turn into a cat, bear, seal, cheetah, eagle and tree, but still has to use ground mounts which you magically conjure from thin air? [/quote]

Yea, saw this earlier. Made me think at how long it is till launch though. Beta testing into April? Might be another 5-6 months for the game.
Eh, kinda crummy.

"many of you will have a chance to participate" != Open Beta.
I highly doubt an April release. My bet would be June.

They actually said they would've a small open beta to get the game out quickly after. So April/May release is very very likely to happen, just as Mif said. Originally Posted by Socram

Woo and boo, really hope its a May release and that the large scale open invites is basically stress testing, omg so close yet so far , LOL
eta: actually they did say open beta was basically marketing so im going to go out on a limb and say it wont really be on Beta that long there just not giving away specifics yet, you know what A net is like hehe.. ok im dreaming and hanging onto a glimmer of hope for an April /May release June is toooooooooooo far away :PLast edited by Cherrysoul; 2012-01-23 at 08:46 AM.

I've been thinking a May or June release ever since the word that they started planning Open Beta came out.
