I've copied this from the Game & Dev Tracker forum as I thought it was worthy of a poll here.

This has been discussed around the office. Some of us think it'll be a good idea because it would give you all more notice to plan your weekends. How much would you all like to see a full month in advance? Do you like to be surprised or do you want a schedule?

Thoughts?

I approve! This would actually be very useful, they could include start and end times as well (speaking of which, have the Wintersday items started dropping yet?). Though they'll probably screw it up somehow

I voted yes, because I want to arrange my holidays, my work, my relationships, in fact my whole life around Guild Wars.

LOL

No, I allready have a life and Gw is only a game, it will have to fit in to my schedule, not the other way around.

Although I have selected 'Yes' because I think Anet have horrible CR and should increase communication, I also think this would be helpful. That way I can see which events I won't have to log in for.

moko · Jul 18, 2008, 04:02 PM // 16:02

yes, just so there can be one huge QQ thread discussing the schedule of all weekends and not one thread each weekend!

well, it's not really a useful thing, nobody will ever plan their life after GW weekends..no huge point but i guess it won't hurt just so Anet thinks they're doing something for GW1!!

1 up and 2 down · Jul 18, 2008, 04:09 PM // 16:09

Yes, it think an event schedule would be helpful.

Ec]-[oMaN · Jul 18, 2008, 04:11 PM // 16:11

Couldn't they have just gotten their programmers to implement a sign in poll when you login to find this stuff out years ago when they were sippin their lattes? Guess the aroma caused them to overlook such things.

I voted yes and for the same reasons as above.

Shayne Hawke · Jul 18, 2008, 04:23 PM // 16:23

It kills the surprise to know things about a month ahead of time. A week's notice on the next weekend event would be good enough.

MithranArkanere · Jul 18, 2008, 04:36 PM // 16:36

Yes, of course. People make a lot of things in weekends, with an schedule, people can plan when they will go out an when they will bend their own schedules to dedicate some time for GW.

'Spoiler prevention is irrelevant and quite dumb'. We all knew that he was dead at the beginning of the movie!

DarkNecrid · Jul 18, 2008, 04:36 PM // 16:36

Yes, yes, yes, and more yes.

If people want to be surprised, they can just not look at the thing I guess? I would assume they wouldn't post it in-game, so?

Molock · Jul 18, 2008, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Sounds like a good idea to me. I voted yes.

Soon I will get some VR goggles, an IV and a case of Depends then I will never need to log out again.......

**cosyfiep** · Jul 18, 2008, 05:10 PM // 17:10

yes it would be nice to know what stuff is coming up---that way we can decide if we want to spend time playing or doing stuff in the real world.
And then people would stop posting threads about 'what is next weekend gonna be?' or 'when are they gonna tell us about next weekend?'
would certainly help more than hurt!

Artisan Archer · Jul 18, 2008, 05:12 PM // 17:12

I voted No, I like suprises.
Not looking just isn't the same..

Xx Da Best Xx · Jul 18, 2008, 05:26 PM // 17:26

Yes, I like the events that the game has and id love to see more. Unfortunately, People take advantage of these events in order to make money, which I think isn't right. So having one every month would be a wreck.

Carboplatin · Jul 18, 2008, 05:53 PM // 17:53

schedule + 1

I would hate to miss the next event that would cut the grind in half.
