Actually the GW Event FAQs says:

Quote:

When does the Beta Weekend Event begin?

The next Beta Weekend Events will begin on Friday morning, April 15th. Please watch www.guildwars.com for more information.

When they say morning it could mean 12:01 AM PST but could mean as late as 11:59 AM PST

COUNTDOWN CLOCK

Now guys. We've had this discussion before. Did we ever say 12:01 a.m. PDT for a Beta Weekend Event? Or did we say it for the World Preview Event, and now for Early Access and Release launches?

I really, really think we've only said "morning of April 15th" and the first one of you who starts a "They're late" thread is going to have your account deactivat... I mean, is going to get my slipper thrown at you.

*sigh* I do love that count-down clock!

All the beta's ive participated in have started within wonderfull time before i go to sleep on thursday night, so i love the way they do things ^.^

Last beta there was conflicting info on the GW site. One Preorder page said friday morning, while another said 12:01 AM PST.

Edit: Here's a link

I guess the key word there would be "approximately."

And of course, the range of approximation remains different in each individual's perspective.

So, I would say to hope for 12:01 am, but to expect possible delays in case the devs need to finish some last minute preparations. A possible delay could mean one, two, three hours, or even until when the sun first peeks out onto sleepy, rainy Bellevue, WA. I have full belief that if there are any delays, those delays will be minimal. But again, that's just my belief, and so remains pure opinion.

Besides, think of it this way. When you expect it later, but it in fact does start at 12:01, then it's even more special of a gift, right?

Of COurse Aria, I'm still happy that they changed to start times to friday instead of the saturday it was at first. Either way, this is the last one and I'll be waiting expectently for the 27th. (Does that one open at 12:01 sharp or is it "approximatley" too?)
