But you guys know the drill: Until we say it, it's not official. I can tell you that some of what you've read is right, some of it is wrong, and quite a bit of it is misleading. Unfortunately, we can't offer a fact check quite yet.

The good news is that the top game publications in Europe and the U.S. are preparing feature articles with major Guild Wars news -- I wasn't joking when I said a few days ago that I think it'll knock your socks off. In the U.S., PC Gamer will begin delivery of the May issue to subscribers on March 15, and it will be on newsstands on April 3. European magazines, including Joystick in France, PC Zone in the U.K., PC GamePlay in Benelux, Games Machine in Italy, and PC Gamer in Germany, will reach subscribers and newsstands before the end of March.

Knowing you guys, no matter where you're located, you'll be sharing the info from your regional magazines, and that's great. I want to make sure that I let you know, this isn't some small feature -- I would boldly say that any Guild Wars player would want to buy one of these magazines, subscriber or not! In part this is because they'll offer great articles with a lot of cool info. In part it's because the magazines will give you the chance to adopt your very own exclusive new miniature. Check our website for more info tomorrow!

Awesome~! I can't wait.

On another note. I do NOT want playable races but I think more heroes with different races would be cool(i.e. Zhed) A Charr Monk would be soo FTW =]

Pan Head · Mar 05, 2007, 11:05 PM // 23:05

Great. it was almost info. lolol not i am still wondering what the hell is going to happen.

Innit · Mar 05, 2007, 11:05 PM // 23:05

The entire dev team graciously accepts responsibility for your lack of sleep.

Well... that is a sigh of relief. This was a VERY carefully worded post imo.

Some of what you've read is right - We KNOW NCSoft has eyeofthenorth.com
Some of it is wrong - This HAS to mean that some of what Inquirer wrote is wrong
Quite a bit misleading - Again, this means the article HAS to contain misleading info...

Let's look at what info "could" be misleading... Many of the items stated in the article are basic "Yes" and "No" items.... For example, when they say there are 150 new skills, either there ARE or AREN'T, but nothing can be misleading about that statement. Other items, such as "multi-level dungeons" certainly CAN be misleading... I wonder what specifically she means with that statement.

Still not out of the blue about the chapter four part, but Galies words put my mind at ease knowing that some of it's true.

Really, I'm thinking that the Eye to the North thing is true, and I think it will be excellent. The only thing that's disturbing is the lack of PvP features, and skills. GW is based around PvP, and thousands upon thousands enjoy the PvP features, so I don't think they're going to get rid of that. As for no new professions, fine with me. But they better have some ideas to change the metagame, otherwise PvP is going to get boring and people are going to quit.

MMSDome · Mar 05, 2007, 11:17 PM // 23:17

this is friggin awsome! I wonder if we will get to use our characters from GW1 in GW2, I know its thinknig a head a tad but this is exciting news!

Lord-UWR · Mar 05, 2007, 11:18 PM // 23:18

You people are hilarious!!!
It is still quite amazing how fast people started posting across the internet. Its only 12 hours and 21 pages of forum posts.

GAILE?!! ANY NEWS OF THE MINI LICH?!!

Please do not tell me it is the mini in PC Gamer, cuz that will take away its, for the lack of a better word, special-ness.

MirageMaster · Mar 05, 2007, 11:19 PM // 23:19

Well, Gailes hands are tied right now,she did the best thing she could and i thank her for that.

Just a small question.... does The gods in Dev team ever plan to make female charr or centaurs? atleast some concept art if it exist.

Olie Killer · Mar 05, 2007, 11:19 PM // 23:19

I really dont want a Guild Wars 2, I would like if they just kept making new Chapters. And I really do not want to wait until 2009 to play somthing new, beside what might come out this year somtime. I would hope that we could take the charactors that we made in the other 3 into anything new, including Guild Wars 2.

kenichiukiya · Mar 05, 2007, 11:21 PM // 23:21

What about Australian players?? we can't get a hold of any mag and mini pet here (yet again)??

Well, they could rebalance so even half of the existing skills were useful, that would be an extraordinarily diverse meta for sure. That's what PvP needs now moreso than new skills.

Brknkybrd · Mar 05, 2007, 11:28 PM // 23:28

Oh boy another minipet I can't get because I don't live in a specific magazine's distribution area, hooorayyyy!

Anyway, I hope one thing at least is true about the news - no new professions in CH4. They really aren't needed now.

As for GW2, I only hope for two things: No PVP favor required for PVE access, and some sort of in-game trading or auction system.

Sp3tzn4z · Mar 05, 2007, 11:30 PM // 23:30

If Chapter 4 will be the last we see of GW1, i will frigin hate the fact that it would be because i wus/am hoping there would be atleast 6-8 chapters for GW1.

I hope the info "provided" by http://the-inquirer.net/ is incorrect.

LOL!! Quite possibly the most sensible, and definitely the funniest, thing anyone has said in over 400 posts! (Other than Gaile's comments of course

)

Made me laugh out loud.. literally!

Lord-UWR · Mar 05, 2007, 11:36 PM // 23:36

Well, I guess this thread should now be closed, since Anet won't say anything more until march 15th, or at least until tomorrow.
