does a-net have a certain time they update their web page everyday, and if so, what time is that? i'm giddy with anticipation waiting for the info that Gaile mentioned would show up today.

Arduin · Mar 06, 2007, 05:33 PM // 17:33

Where did Gaile mention ANet is revealing info today? She said we just had to wait for the release of the magazines, halfway March, if I'm correct.

I have to say i really don't get peoples concern about bringing characters over. This is GW, not WoW, how much of a connection can you really have to your character. He gets maxed out in an hour and once you buy max armor you bascily have all the gear you'll ever need. Now don't get me wrong, i love my Prophecies ranger, I've played through all 3 campaigns with him and have capped countless skills. But when it comes to a new game, i want to start again, live the game to the fullest. If GW2 is similar enough to GW1 where you can just port everything over, whats the point? why not just keep making new chapters? I mean, if you ask me, it would be great if ALL the professions we have now aren't even in GW2, gives us a whole new crop shit to play with. I don't want to get it and go, well, i've played as all these before... guess ill make anther ranger..ohh look barrage, guess i should cap that <sigh>. I'm looking forward to GW2 huge (whether is article is true or not, to think there not going to go a GW2 would be foolish). And you know what, if a 6 months from now I'm sick and tired of GW, ill stop playing, maybe ill give Age of Conan a try, but when GW2 comes out, i'll pick it back up. I dont need constant Guild Wars content till the next game, theres plenty of games coming out. I'll play some crysis or something.

Well thats my two cents.

Because I'm receiving a lot of emails asking why we don't have this on our front page as news I'd just like to leave this message.

This is ‘unofficial’ information so we decided to keep it to the forums so as not to mislead people as we don’t know exactly what content might be false, true or misleading per Gaile Gray's post.

I also spoke with the author of this article and he indicated that he received all this information in an email from NCSoft, which of course doesn’t add up as they were the only site to feature this and all the others are just repeating his information. Any email that came from NCSoft would have been released to several media outlets and not just a site dedicated to tech and PC news. So we’ve been doing our research!

Until there is more official information or a statement from NCSoft we'll keep this discussion just to the forums versus making a news announcement.

Thanks.

No in her replies on one of her posts she mentioned a 'tidbit' will be put up on the website. I am sorry but I am too lazy to search and quote the para. However, it will only be a tidbit!

Tidbits are good...tidbits are good

Why should people port over titles on new characters? Or on old ones who's fame in the intervening years would have seriously waned. Cartographers titles would be redundant unless the worlds were identical wouldn't they? Who'd want identical worlds?

Who's going to remember I drank a lot of ale a few hundred years from now, or opened a load of chests?

Perhaps the protector titles are up for grabs, but again, not on new characters, they weren't the same character that achieved that status after all.

...... 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!

This is what people are waiting for.

I just noticed something. if you shorten guild wars Eye of the North to the a similar abreviation to the ones used by previous campaigns (GW:P, GW:F, GW:NF) you get GW:EN or Gwen

ur little friend....maybe this is a teaser!

Nice job Admins! That response does sound very shady. My mony is still on at least the title/them of Ch4 being correct. The reset....just have to wait for PC Gamer.

Just thought I'd throw in my two cents on the 'races'.

If you look at the old GW manual and read up on some of the Maguuma jungle quests, you'll see that GW had a race of druids who died/transformed/whatevered. Seeing as how GW has never had elves or anything of the sort, I'd be more inclined in believing that this race (if real) would be these lost to history druids.

Quote:

asura- in Hindu mythology, an antagonist of the gods; especially one of a race of titans or demons

Our favorite winged enemy, who proved to not actually be an enemy. The mursaat. They oppose the gods, we know that much just from ToA, and think they are better. So I am inclined to see this as that race, since there are still mursaat on the Isle of Janthir where ever that may be.

Quote:

norn- in Norse mythology, any of the three godessess, Urth(the past), Verthandi(the present), and Skuld(the future), who determined the destiny of gods and men

Everyway I look at it, this seems to be our friendly awe loving dwarves of the peaks. Woo...

Anyway, that's just my two cents on the races dealeo.

About the Gwen thing I don't put it past Anet to pull our leg with that kind of thing.

On another note, what do you mean by Q3? :S

3rd quater of the year i assume

Arduin · Mar 06, 2007, 07:07 PM // 19:07

Yup, right under my Speculation Boot

At the moment, that Boot is circling around Theos' post, about the races. Sounds plausible, in my opinion. Why go looking for Elves if we already got Druids?

[EDIT] Where did that Mat go?
