In an open letter to fans, ArenaNet co-founder Mike O'Brien has played down recent talk of Fast WOW gold 2 being delayed, pointing to the fact that a release date for the title has never been announced.

O'Brien wrote: "There have been some published rumours over the past few days about Fast WOW gold 2 delays, and I'm writing you today to set the record straight.

"You've all seen announcements about restructuring at NCsoft West, and it's natural to wonder whether that restructuring impacts ArenaNet's Guild Wars 2 development.   In fact, the reason NCsoft West is restructuring itself is so that the company can put all of its focus into its top-tier games like Fast WOW gold 2. Our team continues to grow, and has the strong support and financial backing we need to achieve our goal of making Guild Wars 2 the best online role-playing game ever created."

He added: "On Friday, NCsoft released investor materials that showed a very broad release window for Guild Wars 2, with the explanation that release timing is still "to be announced." ArenaNet has never given a release date for Guild Wars 2 other than "when it's done." NCsoft's investor materials are a reflection of that philosophy."

O'Brien also noted, "Guild Wars 2 is a large and ambitious game, and we're going to take the time to do it right" and that he is "immensely proud of what our team has accomplished and continues to accomplish with the development of Guild Wars 2".

Regarding further updates on the development of the game, O'Brien said that this will have to wait until closer to release.
