Yeah I definitely can't wait to see Guild Wars 2. I really think it is going to be a huge success.

Alot of interviews mention playing GW2 lately. Its like they are almost making fun of the "vaporware" crowd.

I have some family in Washington State (I was born in Seattle!)

I should go pay them a visit <<

Note on GW2, if GW1 was all about skills and there is rumors ad speculation that GW2 may be infinite level cap or even have a higher level cap they would not be true any more because through out that whole article there like "its about the skill, not the level, or the time played" with a higher level = more time playe =/= true to there orginal motto.

People play for thousands of hours now because they enjoy, not because they have to grind. so to have a higher level cap or go off focus of there origanal motto makes it more grind then play.

thats my thoughts

"Guild Wars 2 will have the kind of extensive character advancement appropriate to a persistent world RPG. It is our priority to avoid forcing players into the grind-based gameplay that too often accompanies a high level cap.

Also, to allow players the freedom to play together even if their friends are at a much higher (or lower) level, we are planning to implement a strong sidekicking system, similar to that used in City of Heroes.

We're applying this same philosophy to competitive play. Players will be able to engage in organized, balanced PvP (similar to GvG in the original Guild Wars) without needing to first level up characters, find equipment, or unlock skills. While inside the organized PvP area, all characters will be the same power level and will have access to the same equipment."

Also, i'm not so sure how easily I could infiltrate ArenaNet. I think they have a Charr guard at the entrance, not to mention if I did somehow get inside the building, the dreaded "Destroyer of Fun" would aggro me and vaporize me with his laser eyes.

I'm not getting my hopes up for this year. My guess is that we'll get some screens (2-3) and that's about it. 2010 is when we'll probably actually hear something solid.

This is why I'm a GW2 pessimist.PNG

I can say that it's an absolutely gorgeous game and I'm always astounded at how great our artists are at bringing a world to life.

We're not ready to share more just now, but stay tuned for more information later this year.

Oh dear are you serious? Later this year? That means we'll only have to wait till 31st December.

"There are a few surprises that we've saved for the anniversary, though."

Given she talks about the events and the April Update, and especially the date of the interview wich is today, can't help but wonder, does that mean we'll get something tomorrow? As in, new content, features? Anything?
