Weekend Promo - Guild Wars Forums

Dryndalyn · Apr 30, 2008, 05:13 PM // 17:13

What has happened to the Promo that usually appears on the login page on Tuesday about what is going down on the following weekend? I always looked forward to the end of the day to check this out. However, it wasn't there last week and is not there again. On what web page can I get the heads up on this if it is not going to be listed on the login page?

there just might not be a special weekend event

not there last week??! I must've been dreaming, but I'm sure there was an event last weekend and the announcement few days before it. Something about a 3yr anniversary I believe. Well anyway, relax. If it's not there Tuesday, it'll be there Wed. If not, then Thur. If still nothing, then... well... WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!! That's one of the signs of armageddon, no weekend-event announcements.

Last weeks was posted late, most likely to 'surprise' people. Although most knew it was coming, it wasn't a surprise anyway. This weeks I expect to be a little late due to the last weekends event running longer than normal. Typically they end on Sunday, this one ended on Monday.

I expect a PvP weekend of some sort after the PvE based Anniversery one. Look for some double fame or GvG bonuses probably.

Thanks, MagmaRed.

That info was helpful.

I already asked about this from last week and I got my answer in regards to "surprise vs. common" weekends. As for this weekend coming up... not sure why nothing is up yet.

I'm still hoping for Double Experience Elite Skill Capping weekend.

Maybe they are trying to avoid all the QQ posts that follow the usual announcements.

The festivities begin on Thursday, April 24 after the live update, running until Noon (-7 GMT) Pacific on Tuesday, April 29. The festivities include a brand new reward after finishing the Hell's Precipice mission in the original campaign, boardwalk games at the Shing Jea Monastery, and starting April 28, third birthday presents for characters created on this date.

@ the OP: They're usually pretty good about getting the events up by Wednesday night, if not, then expect it on Thursday
