It's been almost two weeks since the announce and nothing else has been mentioned or changed from what I can tell so much for over the next few weeks like they stated.

Hi everyone,
We've just announced the launch of the redesigned guildwars.com website.
We'd like you to know that much of the old content on all versions of the GuildWars.com websites (that is: www/eu/de/fr/es/it.guildwars.com) will be deleted once the new website is launched by the end of March.
We thought we’d give the wiki community some advance notice regarding the retirement of this legacy content so that those who are interested have the opportunity to archive the material if they wish.
Thanks.

Not exactly official, but I figured that's not a place most people look for information so I should post it here.

That is however a matter of how you understand wording.
A few weeks can be up to 3-4 weeks. Since the definition of few is " Being more than one but indefinitely small in number"

well, we can only hope they keep their timeline---we know from the past that things dont always work out the way they are planned (new chapter every 6 months, monthly updates, etc)....so
we shall see.

They could even make it, for once: I believe the new website was commissioned...

worstnameevar · Apr 01, 2012, 02:54 AM // 02:54

Doesn't look like they're going to make it within March, although they do have 4 hours remaining...

Where'd you hear that, that it was commissioned that is?

ruk1a · Apr 01, 2012, 03:56 AM // 03:56

Just replace Blizzard with ANet and maybe soon with "few weeks" lol.

This basically applies to all mmo companies they seem to be horrible with time lines.

MithranArkanere · Apr 01, 2012, 06:59 AM // 06:59

Nah. With ANet isn't "Soon", it's "When it's done".

They may tell other dates, but that's always a mistake, because n the end, it's always "When it's done".

Or just less disciplined when it comes to giving out realistic ones.

Simply, companies rarely design and mantain websites by themselves, and usually turn to web design professionals to get things done.

So, well, I suppose it is, since that's how it's usually done.

shinta_himura · Apr 02, 2012, 03:57 PM // 15:57

It would be nice to see a first party "argosoft"-style interface. With market tracking and such.

Maybe a new "Quiet Isles" outpost with an all chat that is linked between that outpost and a web chat as well?

Or ally chat if you log in?

Or the Marketplace?

Or auctions??

or..

Tyrous · Apr 17, 2012, 01:35 AM // 01:35

Any word on the new site?

nuclear_herring · Apr 17, 2012, 02:42 AM // 02:42

Just checked - it doesn't look much different to me.

But then my last visit was 6 months ago and by accident.

**cosyfiep** · Apr 17, 2012, 03:48 AM // 03:48

gee, go figure----maybe they really did mean march of 2013? 2014???

Lordkrall · Apr 17, 2012, 06:01 AM // 06:01

Or maybe they wants to add stuff that turned out to be hard to implement?

See, this is why ArenaNet never should announce anything before they actually release it. Because all they get is whine if something unexpected happens.

worstnameevar · Apr 17, 2012, 09:16 AM // 09:16

One can always read into the current facts and surmise that it'll be done when it's done?

Who knows, maybe it's not even ArenaNet's fault? Like Gill said, it's possible their Web Developers out-sourced some/a lot of the work and are waiting to implement for reasons unknown. Meaning, and all together now, that it'll be done when it's done?

Hanok Odbrook · Apr 17, 2012, 03:37 PM // 15:37

Perhaps we should be taking bets on what gets done and released first - GW2 or the website.

worstnameevar · Apr 17, 2012, 05:13 PM // 17:13

I wager 50 quatloos that the first GW2 BWE will begin before the new website is completed.

The incoming 7th Anniversary seems a perfect date for this redesign. But honestly I don't know what's there to be excited about, I'm more worried and saddened about the loss of all old content. For the sake of nostalgia I love to browse the old old stuff there, many don't remember or know it dates back as early as mid-2003!
Here, have some nostalgia, while it's still there:
