FOUR NEW RACES?!

I'm calling foul. If not, then GW has officially jumped the shark.

thats does not age so fast.

I'm sure the 2-D gameplay would, though. I hate it that I can aggro monsters on cliffs 10 stories above me...

And isn't Lineage II using the Unreal engine? That's pretty old, ain't it? And look at how successful it still is.

MWAHAHAHAHA!! some of what he says in the article could be true.

i did a similar whois query on "eyeofthenorth.com" .net, and .org.

my findings for both .net and .com were the same, that they used this privacy post service to hide the whois information.

but, someone did not cover their tracks on the .org.

here is the whois data from my eyeofthenorth.org query

If the Eye of the North is true... damn its gonna rock for me! I waited for 2 years since the start to push back the charr and see the land they came from and the reasons for invasion.I take it there will be the end to charr-human war at some stage since charr will be selectable race in GW2.^_^ I still want to know how charr females are like, i bet they are so wildly sexy! *drolls* who gonna need human arogant bitches lol.

Oh and btw, i dont think its a good idea posting personal info like that of a NCsofts emploi.

Yes I know, read back a bit, someone else suggested that as a reason for doubting its authenticity.

Interesting, but can we trust this? I'm normally not that big a skeptic, but I don't believe it that much. Besides, ANet's plan was to keep updating GW with new chapters to the point where it was pointless in doing so. The community is growing even larger and larger, I see no reason to stop soon. We can't go a year and a quarter without more GW goodness! Then again, I was thinking "these guys are crazy if they plan to release 20 chapters".

Mixed reactions here.

Now we know at least some of the information is true, im very excited by this and would enjoy pushing back the charr. Hopefully taking all my characters with me.

I'll be fine with Eye of the North as long as we don't have a GW2 where we have to start from scratch.

Ashleigh McMahon · Mar 05, 2007, 09:57 PM // 21:57

Totally agree.

All that work, for nothing?

Reasons why this MAY not be true....

Gaile has hinted MANY times that she would love a GW chapter located in an arctic region....if she knew that ch4 was wintry/north based, I would think that she would stay away from that topic altogether. Unless of course she really was hinting at the theme.

GW2 is over a year and a half away. I highly doubt that they would announce such specifics as the new races and stuff, SO early.

If what you said is true...wow. Many implications indeed.

And those inadvertant smileys in your post made it a lot easier and encouraging to read through that information.

Knightsaber Sith · Mar 05, 2007, 10:01 PM // 22:01

Well it's looking like at least the title of the fourth campaign is true, which lends a degree of credibility to the rest of the article..

MirageMaster · Mar 05, 2007, 10:01 PM // 22:01

Race selection was widely asked feature.people wanted it so Anet implemented it.I dont see the problem.Centaur sinn anyone?

And Eye of the North isnt chapter 4 sheesh..... its an expansion used to tie up loose ends,read it again pls.Thats why GW1 is the trilogy.

Everyone has access to that info just from a simple Whois command, if the employee didn't want people knowing his info then he would've hidden his info when he registered the domain.

Ditto on that, it would suck if we had to start over from scratch. That article looks very nice and I'll buy it for now but I'm not gonna get all worked up about it until Anet releases info.

Because there's nothing weird or lore-breaking about a rapidly-moving/teleporting Centaur, right?

lyra_song · Mar 05, 2007, 10:04 PM // 22:04

Many people have asked what lies north of Giant's Basin....perhaps here is our answer.

Eye Of The North as an EXPANSION ONLY sounds very credible, other details, not so sure.

Cute! And no I think you're the first to hit that. WTB GWEN.
