dude, wow. This shows that EotN and GW2 will be realeased it DOES NOT prove or disprove anything

Kos Luftar · Mar 13, 2007, 03:32 PM // 15:32

If we assume, that it will come out 09 or 10 which is info from Inquierer therefore you must also assume that the BETA Testing will be happening late this year or begining of next year, and that would be why they would Trademark the name so the can use it for BETA and later for the actual release.

The Great Al · Mar 13, 2007, 03:55 PM // 15:55

how does one become a beta tester?

I would think a patent applies to the game itself, not the game's name. A patent would grant rights to the inventor so that others cannot rip off the invention (in this case, the game itself).

From what I've read, though, it sounds like they've only trademarked the game names. No game patents yet, unless I misread something.

chill out people. whats the big fuss?

Toilet Oni · Mar 13, 2007, 04:53 PM // 16:53

how cool

is Gw2 and gw Eye of the north the same game?

The Great Al · Mar 13, 2007, 05:01 PM // 17:01

Toilet - no...GW:EN is presumably the next chapter, whereas GW2 is a new game altogether.

I would be pretty upset (well, as upset as I could get over a video game) if the title is NOT GW:Eye of the North, just because Gaile by this point should have told us that it wasn't. Clearly PCGamer has the exclusive and will presumably tell us the title of the chapter, but if the title is NOT Eye of the North, Gaile telling us that does not in any way take away from PCGamer's exclusive article.

Etta · Mar 13, 2007, 05:01 PM // 17:01

no! GW:EN or whatever ch4 will be call is coming out this year. GW 2 may or may not come out in 2009 or 2010.

Damn! AI beat me to it :P

I just thought that was funny. I say this is totally true. Anet wouldn't make a fake trademark or try to trick us. We would just find out anway by some other source. After the magazines come out Anet will start spamming us with info about EN and the big, long, over-rated, hype will begin.

Buster · Mar 13, 2007, 07:33 PM // 19:33

I think Anet is really laughing right now at all this bogus information coming out. I think people are so anxiously awaiting chapter 4 and the rumors of GW2 to be true or not true that some people are just believing everything they first hear or read because they can't wait. What does Gail always keep reminding us, if it doesn't come from Anet then don't believe the hype. It is just that simple. Anyway, back to playing , my necro needs just a few more elites to have them all ! Have fun !

Just to point out, I have over 300 domain names registered that relate to a single domain, simply so no one else attempts to rip off my name and product.

There are differences between trademarks/servicemarks, copyrights and patents. Trademarks are heavily regulated and must be used if you register one.

Also, If you noticed the date on the trademark registration is a day LATER than than when Inq posted the article.

And the 300 domain name thing is just overkill unless your product is "that" popular.

Silly Warrior · Mar 13, 2007, 08:32 PM // 20:32

I'd say all of this, along with the big Inquirer information, and the fact gaile confirmed the information in one of the threads, pretty much proves all of this information to be correct.

There's way to much evidence to not say that GW:EN isn't coming. It definatly is, and it will most likly be announced on Thursday, like Anet always does, along with the PC Gamer article, giving more info.

Good find Inde!

Deleet · Mar 13, 2007, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I hope the playable races and pve-only skills theory is false.
Please, no more pve-based MMORPGs, we already have 100+

Anyway, nice find Inde

GWEN i real afterall.
