hmm, i think making a new game is Anet's biggest mistake so far, did some questioning in guild 56/98 members isn't going to buy gw2 if you need to start whole over, including me... 50 PvE skills, no old charcs, i'll loose every unlocked skill, also waiting untill 2009-2010 is going to make them loose a lot of players.. no new campaign for 4 moths is too much for some ppl, 2-3 years is going to be 4 mil players to no players

I don't think they'll make a new game.

I'll be out of here if they do - and I'm certain I'm not alone.

How do you know that Eye of The North is the last chapter to GW?

m0r1arty · Mar 15, 2007, 06:15 PM // 18:15

If you're right then I'll move onto the Firefly or something else styled online game.

Guild Wars is my first and only online role playing thusfar - it'll be a sad day when I say goodbye to it.

I suppose somewhere I hope to pass it down through the ages to my kiddies and the like, but more fool me I suppose.

if we can believe that website, it is, and it was a official announcement (more or less) gw 2 is a fact, i'm hoping it'll just be a new era
not a new game, just another stand-alone campaign, in another era

They don't.

The idea of "GW2" is based completely on one article on a technology rumor site. One article, which in itself was based on a single "insider" e-mail of dubious origin.

I would be surprised if there isn't a GW2 on the drawing boards, and 2009/10 seems a logical time frame. But I sincreely doubt that GW will simply shut down for 2-3 years and completrely replace the original game withe something new.

The PC Gamer magazine will be out soon, and we'll know more.

My pre-magazine prediciton: Eye of the North is a "hold over" expansion to keep us playing while they work on the next three-part set of chapters. Likely it will resolve many mysteries, and give us something to do while we wait for a something "big" later in the year. The next trilogy will start arriving in late 2007 and go one through 2008, by which time GW2 will be in beta. I'd expect GW2 around Christmas 2009/Spring 2010.

Of course, my speculations are no better than what was published last week in the rumor mill. We'll find out soon enough.

Warmaster Patton · Mar 15, 2007, 07:04 PM // 19:04

Seriously people, This is NOT an official announcement, it's a rumor from someone who we don't know. For all we know it's some pimple faced 12yr old with huge glasses writing what he hopes happens.

maybe you're right, but Anet always have listened to their players, if so many ppl hate the idea of gw2, the gw2 chapters will just be placed in the first saga.. i hope

Aerian_Skybane · Mar 15, 2007, 07:14 PM // 19:14

If GW2 is real, NOBODY has a clue of how it might be implemented. Speculation is one thing, but saying you'll jump out of the game because your 15-year old ego must be satiated is dumb. I for one expect a GW2 to be released eventually, as the GW engine can only be unique for so long, new innovations must be implemented in a game in order to stay competitive. Think Diablo to Diablo 2. Soon there will be a Diablo 3 (not a fact I am just assuming).

Natural evolution, and game dev theory really. If they make a superior product in GW2 than in GW, they will be able to make more money, and since you seem to be so attached to a virtual character and base your happiness on time played, then I guess you don't play GW2, and we don't have to deal with this incessant whining about how ANET better listen and NOT try to make a better experience for us!
Wahhhhhhhhhh!

Sorry, just seen too much of that lately, had to explode eventually.

And H, you are biting hard and fast into the arm that lies saying that GW2 is fact, because guess what, the Inquirer article has been deemed mostly misinformation (please read Gaile's posts earlier). There are no facts. And just because a domain has been registered, does not make a game name. They could buy it so no one else manipulates for nefarious purposes. Sure, it could be the name, but nobody will know till the PCG gets delivered.

I like reading speculation, people coming up with ideas, but people whining and complaining about stuff and saying its fact and that they are quitting? So dumb.

AMEN!!!

I'm getting tired of the people complaining about fiction. Wait a few more days for an official announcement and then complain if you don't like it. Complaining now is a complete waste of time.

Tomorrow will tell the future of GW, not today.

And when is soon? I'm pretty sure someone said 15th of March which is today (at least in the UK)...

I couldn't agree with you more. You would think that a lot of people here sat on the ANet board of directors the way they think that they alone have their fingers on the pulse of the guild wars community. The non-stop complaining, emoting, and opinion-as-fact mentality around here has almost made me stop reading these forums all together (but you don't see me telling guildwarsguru what they had better do, do you?). I've reverted somewhat to some private forums our guild has setup where we can have mature conversations with people who love the game and love to play it.

For the American publication, as said elsewhere and before, is being shipped today, so for American subscribers, I am assuming the earliest is tomorrow, with most coming early next week. Maybe we'll get lucky and see it today, but I doubt it. People on the west coast might get lucky since last I was a subscriber, PCG printing is based in Cali.

Ah thanks for the quick reply Aerian. I guess I'll have to wait ages for PCZone here in the UK, unless someone posts the whole PC Gamer article here...please?...yankies?

Warmaster Patton · Mar 15, 2007, 07:29 PM // 19:29

If no one has it posted when I get it (hopefully tomorrow

) I'll defiantly post it.

Do you people read what you type?

You don't think they'll make a new game? What else would they be doing all this time? What do you think the entire company has been doing since Nightfall? Riding ferris wheels all day? If developers listened to you nut cases we would still be playing Zork. Not that you know what Zork is.

Guild Wars is one game. There are other games. You can play all of them, or some of them, or none of them... and you certainly don't have to stop playing GW when GW2 comes out.

From what I gathered by Inde's brief thread, Guru will be putting together some kind of synopsis of the article, supplied by information from subscribers that get it. What they don't want are scans of the article, or a word-for-word retyping of it. Those will probably get deleted. So, relax, and probably tomorrow or Monday we'll see a thread open up on it.
