Something doesn't make sense. If they already revealed the name, shouldn't it already be trademarked. Else someone might steal it. No new records under Ncsoft, so I say it's fake.

I personally think that Anet won't give races seperate abilities, at least not innate ones.

Think about it, in the current game, even giant flowers and armed frog-things act just like our human characters as far as gameplay goes. As did the Charr.

If they keep to their current standards, the races will probably just be to have split storylines, and for simply being a Charr/Norn/Sylvarian/Asurian.

I'm betting it boils down to having a greater choice in the appearance of your character, and personally can't wait to play as a Charr.

yup.Charr will kick some tail!

I like the system of paying for it, it'll be probably 30 us dollars and be a whole new game for us who own GW 1 (1-4 :P)

Spaced Invader · Mar 05, 2007, 11:36 AM // 11:36

Some of it (the news as a whole) even makes sense, though I take it well salted.

But maybe that's why NCSoft just announced "a major update to the Guild Wars franchise" instead of explicitly speaking of a new chapter.

Anyway, my bet is on a very premature april fool's joke.

Isn't the picture on that article from pre-searing? If i remember rightly that's the tower in Wizard's Folly.

And yet our characters seem to suffer from backwards time travel and groundhog day syndrome since they can go back and do certain events/missions over and over again.

There's plenty of creative ways to explain how our characters end up hundreds of years later, it's fantasy for crying in the mud.

Races? c'mon ArenaNet, races are for WoW and not GW.
PvP'ers do not need more stuff, they have their battle isles and I wouldn't be surprised if they added more content to that, but it looks like they are getting the short stick for Chapter4 (could be wrong, like I said I am waiting for confirmation from another source).

Also, this article doesn't sound like it is really knowledgeable of Guild Wars(DUNGEONS?!?!?!?)

TRIPLE SIGNED.

I just hope my computer will be able to run guild wars 2. My computer already doesnt meet some of the requirements for Guild wars.

Spaced Invader · Mar 05, 2007, 11:52 AM // 11:52

Cross-Char-Compatibility actually would be easier to achieve than in other games.
Every character is level 20, got the same gear (stats-wise) etc.

Basically GW is just a fashion show, so all that would have to be transfered are looks and... oh well, our precious titles.
If A.Net really wanted it, there would be a way to transfer at least the latter. I mean... there are account-titles every single of my characters can use. Why not a descendant born 100 years later?

Well, I don't know about this whole domain name business but, I don't think they need to register a new domain name for each new game?

They don't but its general business practice to name a product after something where the domain is still available and to register it for redirection purposes. guildwarseyeofthenorth has not been registered (and is a bit of a mouthful lol)

Then I guess you have to try all the possible names. XD

maby Gwen will lock us(GW1 toons) all in a deep cave and put us into cryo-sleep for HUNDREDS of years(GW2). :P

Avoc · Mar 05, 2007, 12:14 PM // 12:14

If they DO make a GW 2, they need to make a "Family Heirlome" system, so that you can transfer some armors to your "grandgrand-child"
Persuming that there is a Ranger class in GW2, it would be great to have this feature. Aslong as the gender and class is the same, I would be able to "save" my FoW armor for my grandgrand child who just happens to be the same class. Of course, she would only be able to open it when she is "old enough" or said with other words, "has reached the max level".

Then you go the the grand Xunlai Island and pay a small fee of 5000 gold whereafter you are able to access the ancient storage.

We would NOT be able to save our gold or materials.

Guild Wars: Eyes of the North

...

They wouldn't...would they?

Cacheelma · Mar 05, 2007, 12:22 PM // 12:22

It would be so appropriate and very Anet-ish if they do away with such "GWEN" hint.

And that's the scariest part for me too (since I'm praying for this whole C4/GW2 thing to be a big hoax myself).
