With no word from ArenaNet or NcSoft, it does seem as though there will be no BWE this weekend.

I stumbled across this interview on venturebeat.com. The article is very good, but I found the reply from Spammerbarn to be the most interesting thing.

Here, since you got banned from their Facebook page, this is  their latest update regarding the BWE2:

"Many of you have been asking about when we will have our second Beta Weekend Event. As we are approaching a long weekend in many parts of the world, we understand that some of you want to make plans for that. To help you with that we can confirm that we will NOT be running BWE2 this coming weekend. 

Our BWE1 was super successful, we exceeded our expectations. As some of you might have experienced first hand, this lead to some technical issues. To make sure we are not running into the same situation for BWE2, we recently had a stress test, and we are currently deploying a lot of additional hardware in our datacenters. We will be able to tell you exactly when BWE2 will take place as soon as all the hardware has been deployed. We are not withholding a date intentionally, we want to make sure that BWE2 will be a really great experience for all of you.I hope this helps a bit in understanding where we are standing – you all have a really relaxing long weekend! ~MK"

I confirmed this information.

On the bright side, Arenanet might be taking a well deserved break this weekend to recharge. Who knows how badly they need a break for how hard they've been working.

Yep - instead of getting no time off and working all weekend, they will get an extra long lunch break on Monday :) Gaming devs just don't get breaks - they work their asses off so that we may receive gratification sometime in the future. I know they have their happy times... "Hey dude! I finally cleared that dungeon and the boss actually spawned - then we were able to kill him and exit the dungeon - and NO CRASH TO DESKTOP!!!!" Horns sound, whistles blow, and cake is served.... 5 minutes later they are back at their PC licking icing off of their fingers punching in new codes for the next encounter. I admire them - and wish them well while I am at my kids house having a Bar-b-que and playing with the grandkids.
