I would rather check out something new like Everquest II or World of Warcraft than spend more time on an old game that will only be replaced by a sequel in a few years. So unless this "major update" is free or Guild Wars 2 is in some manner backwards compatible, I just can't see why they would say this...

Are you serious?? You would quit a game because a new one might come out in 2 years? Why bother buying any game since it will be replaced by something new anyway? Look at all the sports games out there. They all get brand new versions every single year and they fly off the shelves. Why not develop new content for an existing game to keep the masses entertained till the new one comes out? I don't think this will be the last expansion for GW. IF GW2 is released in 2009, do you think that we will go the entire 2008 year with no new content? Maybe, maybe not....I would hope to have something during that year.

Guild Wars 2 won't come out for quite some time, more time if not the same as long as Guild Wars 1 has been out. I'm sure I'll notice its release one day but after CH4 you will see the GW population will diminish, people will get bored of the game and reattain their lives back. Most of those people will forget about GW entirely and move on.

Well less than 24 hours we will know alot more and I am sure it will be an interesting day for all of us. I hope chapter 4 is more pvp oriented in the sense that you have more things to do after you beat the game like we had in Factions with alliance battles and Fort Aspenwood. That really kept people busy for awhile. Its odd that people would call chapter 4 an expansion though, Anet usually releases a standalone games where you have the option to merge so you can access prior releases of guildwars.

As far as these patents and trademark things I haven't the slightest as to how they work but I'm not believing anything until Anet makes an official announcement. The next thing you know someone will post a map of the world and try to make us believe that the world is actually flat ! LOL !
Happy farming and good gaming everyone !

Actually Buster, I've gone through the process of trademarking and can assure you that it's the real thing. Plus, looking at the history of the listings pretty much proves the timing that Eye of the North will be C4. As for the rest of the stuff in the article, Gaile herself said some of it was correct, some wrong, and some misleading. Again, going with Anet's history of being able to keep a lid on details, I think it's a safe bet to assume C4 will be called Eye of the North, and may or may not be released later than their six month schedule (the lack of a PvP beta thus far any word of any beta hints at this). As for the rest, deductive logic can lead us to belive that C4 will wrap up the current Guild Wars saga, but I think it's highly doubtful it will be expansion only. Guild Wars 2 will most likely be the next production and introduce a whole new realm and storyline to go along with it, to keep things fresh and keep players interested in the franchise.

People are just crazy and like to speculate.

It's kind of like prophets. Some old men made some pretty vague prophecies about events that would take place. Something bad somewhere at some time was going to happen. Then when something bad happened, the people that believed in the prophets were able to bend certain ideas to fit the prophecies, thus the prophets were obviously correct.

Some people are obsessed with Gwen, they want to know what became of her. Anet keeps leaving little trails of evidence pointing to the fact that Gwen may be alive, or at the very least, was at some point after the searing. Eye of the North may have everything to do with Gwen, it may not. Gwen may not even be a part of it at all, we won't know until it happens.

That being said, it's quite easy to come up with acronyms from most anything to make up some grand idea of something, but usually it's mostly just ideas and speculation, maybe some wishful thinking, nothing more.

I truely hope GW2 isn't gonna be around for like another 10 years at LEAST! Cause by then, i just might be tired of GW... probly not. lol Well, i'll just hope that they are WAY in advance planners who don't have GW2 slated for another 20 years? hehe.

Oh, and techinically its GW:EotN .... not GW:EN. Hehe, you conspiracy mongers! ....

cheers.

I'm not saying I'm going to quit playing Guild Wars. I'm just saying that the idea of a Guild Wars 2 takes a lot of the excitement away from the game. Besides making a direct sequel to an MMO is pretty lame anyhow. I think making a Guild Wars 2 would be quite different than making Diablo 2 or a Madden sequel. I would rather they just come up with something new instead. MMOs are designed in such a way that they have no tangible end, so the whole idea of a Guild Wars 2 is just absurd.

Well I still bought and played counter-strike and counter-strike CZ knowing full well that CC Source was coming out.

Just enjoy the game while its here. Thats what games are about its not about being goldly and having perfect items. (though some may disagree with this)
