Gamespot declares that Utopia is a bogus name for the next chapter. Utopia was to be used for some unannounced project.

That just killed alot of theorys on what the next chapter would be about. Still something doesnt seem right. I will be interested to see what the final announcement name for C4 will be...

heh, U from uo non, or no and topos from place. Common modern interpretations of the coined term utopia mostly incorrectly translate to 'good place' (from eutopia) but the book from the 16th century named Utopia was about an _imaginary_ society (which happened to be ideal, but when isn't an imaginary society?). gw-utopia, an imaginary gw chapter that doesnt actually exist, yup, good name.

I love the comments at the bottom of that article.

Who cares? It's speculation about speculation.

Bogus!

maybe utopia will be a new side project thats like a typical MMO with races/skills/unchange-able attributes and the new expansion is still being worked on for the normal version

Thank. God.

I don't think I would be able to hand that to the counter to pay for it.

I can't imagine them saying, "Thank you for your purchase of Guild Wars: Utopia. Please come again."

It'd probobly be more like; "T-t-t-h-hank y-y-y-o-o- BAHAHAHAHA"

And I'd cry. :'(

-Edit-

o.0 What was the unnanounced project?

Blackest Rose · Jan 19, 2007, 12:29 AM // 00:29

Told you it wouldn't be Utopia - It's Guild Wars:Sunrise I tell you!
<Rushes out to buy guildwarssunrise.com for $5, sells to Anet for 1 zillion dollars and retires - that's my retirement plan!>

Does that means I'm gonna get flamed now?

I rather to have it called New Dawn than Sunrise. It sounds much better.

The fact that they register domain names for no reason is weird enough. Why create a domain name for a secret project if you want to keep it secret?

Winterclaw · Jan 19, 2007, 01:03 AM // 01:03

So you have the option of using it in the future. When the web first become popular a lot of stars made the mistake of not reserving their name as a web address and ended up having a pay a bit to get the address.

FoxBat · Jan 19, 2007, 01:05 AM // 01:05

It wasn't just Utopia regesitered, though, it was guildwarsutopia. So "unnanounced project" can only mean chapter, be that 4, 5, or 6, perhaps just a working name, or something completely impossible like GW 2 or a GW spin-off.

Well, hope we can get back to the frosty-place rumors then.

Terra Xin · Jan 19, 2007, 01:05 AM // 01:05

Well we knew that the third chapter was going to be called Nightfall even before Anet announced it - because some found out its domain name.

An un-named source being quoted on an un-affiliated gaming site? Excuse me if I remain sceptical.
