It's usually been noon PDT. There is also early access did you get that as well?

Req - you pre-ordered so launch for you is actually August 25th  ;D not the general launch for those that didn't pre-order (Aug 28th).

Here is a quote from Reddit too

Concerning GuildWars (first of the name), the beta and events were firing up at noon PST, but the game and expansions releases always happened at midnight PST.

Voa... pre-order gets in on August 27th; pre-purchase gets in on August 25th.

As for the actual time, it will be either Midnight Pacific or Noon Pacific.

I'm leaning towards midnight release, but I'm rarely right

You are right Night - ty for correction.

Req - you are pre-purchase so check midnight pacific on the 24th or after midnight PST on the 25th.

 :(  I thought this thread was called "lunch times".  I'll move along. Carry on.
Joe is absolutely correct. 

All right, if your mom asks, you tell her I read you the riot act
and I took away your xBox.

I hope it is midnight Pacific as I'll probably be too excited to sleep the night before anyway and waiting around Saturday morning would be torment.

midnight would be perfect because i can sleep till about 10:30 and then take the last hour and a half to get ready and then just play all night  ;D

You folks are hilarious ^^. No, changing your system time will not make the game release earlier, it will just mess up the counter. ;) ^MK
