Can anyone identify this?
I came across it here http://www.mmocalendar.com/2008samples.html

Wow, I don't know what it is but looks pretty nice.

slowerpoke · Nov 04, 2008, 07:20 PM // 19:20

havent seen that before

giant clockwork cog city? doesnt seem to fit with any of the current stuff

xscrapyx · Nov 04, 2008, 07:22 PM // 19:22

City of the Chronomancers?

Issac · Nov 04, 2008, 07:22 PM // 19:22

Maybe the Asurans made it lol.

I hear the distant ticking of Utopia. Chronomancers and time manipulation I'd say.

An image from a long distant expansion pack

Thats a good possibility. Never crossed my mind. But why would they use old concept art for a 2009 calendar?

Man, if that was from Utopia, I'm really pissed at ArenaNet for not pumping said expansion out, because that is just about the most badass looking city I have ever seen.

Thats very cool. Weird though, dosen't match anything in the lore for GW that I can remember. It does seem likely it might be either "Utopia" Lost or concept for GW 2 which I think may be more likely (250 years in the future). Though the city cant actully move though the bridges between Cog's look static.

Quite a relevant guess.

Whatever it is, it's quite well done.

MStarfire · Nov 04, 2008, 07:53 PM // 19:53

It's totally the GW style...maybe it was for Utopia and instead we'll maybe see something like it in Aion?

Free Runner · Nov 04, 2008, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Its called the "Hub of Time". I found it on a site that had mixed artwork of EotN and GW2.

That's what I am thinking. Its probably some old Utopia concept art

Because keeping GW2 secret is very important to anet. Letting us fans see what they are doing could be catastrophic so they pretend they don't hav anything to say

rather odd, but impresive non the less, if the gears represent a clock which would represent time, and with what looks like cantha at the lower part then maybe it represents cantha in the future, however a do see a few factories in the picture which in my opinion would rule out the asura, and leads me to belive charr, however cantha and charr haveing nothing to do with each other at all as far as i am aware,

but more likely the gears represent change, which would be with the rest off the world in gw, however if cantha becomes isolated that could explain why they are not on a gear, and each of the gears represents a different race, however that is a long shot

DarkNecrid · Nov 04, 2008, 08:15 PM // 20:15

That's the City of Orr.

EDIT:
I'm kidding for those who couldn't figure it out, tho it could be a possibility, I doubt Orr is shaped like cogs.

(No, of course it isn't. But I'd damn near sell my mother for an MMO set in the Planescape universe, so let me dream!)

GWEXTREEMFAN · Nov 04, 2008, 08:19 PM // 20:19

like we need another city like kaineng....^^

i say more kryta like areas ^^

Limu Tolkki · Nov 04, 2008, 08:34 PM // 20:34

Asuras + 250 years = this shit just might happen. Looks cool indeed.

Aera · Nov 04, 2008, 08:37 PM // 20:37

Now THAT is what I call art. Looks awesome!

that "looks like cantha" bit is like Anets trademark "big city", concept art for KC, Gandara and even a odd few shots of vabbi look the same...its just sort of background noise to fill the white
