ive seen many clues to this happening, for example when varesh says ABBADON in that cheesy and horrible voice-----it may be the truth gods last stand in order to win over da world

What GW2 really needs is for the gods to have some sort of Wizard of Oz type revelation...

... Like someone eventually comes across the "gods" for real and discovers they are just ancient snake-people hiding behind a curtain or something.

... Then everyone turns to Athiesm and the GW world becomes a better place. ^_^ ... Magic classes stop working because nobody believes in that superstitious nonsense any more... and the new classes become things like "Sceptic", "Attorney" and "Professional Wrestler".

And the whole game becomes about thwarting superstition, beating people up, stealing their money and making it all look totally legal.

As for Menzies, he's becoming a major player I think. Around Prophecies, he's just messing around waging war in FoW. By the time Nightfall rolls around he's paired up with Abaddon and Dhuum to wage war on the other 5 gods. I won't be surprised if he's still kicking around the time GW2 comes out, or does indeed turn out to be the Great Destroyer.

Menzies and Dhuum have been backing Abaddon ever since he started to rally against the other gods in the war that created the Crystal Desert.

Anyway, the gods were not the first gods and they are aware that they themselves will be surpassed someday by mortals. That is why they performed themselves an Exodus and withdrew from the world. Maybe GW2 will shed some light into the true origins of the gods. Abaddon was not the first God of Secrets, which is said in the Apostate quest, nor would he be the last. Maybe he was one of the True Giants, who we always heard rumours about, since his size is formidable. But that also might just be one of his godly powers. The other gods are also referred to as his siblings, though I do not know the full extend of the meaning of that word in english, it could refer to the fact that the other gods are his brothers and sisters. At least it is a fact that Menzies and Balthazars are half-brothers.

I beleive that is why there a referred to originally as the 'Old' gods, you cant have 'old' without the 'new' since the terms are relative. Koromir being the 1st of perhaps the next gen of gods who will be invloved with the races of Tryia once again rather than just doing mediocre things here and there when they feel like it. ( i mean they congratulate us for stopping abaddon but why didnt they actually do something to stop him them selves after all there was 5 of them and 1 of him surely there could have overpowered him in one way or another especially since he was weakened from the imprisonment etc.)

Since when have you seen the "gods" of Tyria actually do ANYTHING besides manifest at shrines when a server has favour?

Perhaps it IS their idea of action to make the heroes do all the hard work.

Or maybe they heard of the Ninja Rule....
Since Abaddon effectively has them beaten under the Ninja Rule (since there is one of him and 5 of them, he HAS to win)... they figured they could take out Abaddon's minions by the same rule (a group of 8 people rampaging through an army makes perfect sense by the Ninja Rule)...

Remember what the Gods say at the end of Gates Of Madness. The Gods watch over the heros but it is not their world anymore, its the mortals world. So theres no need to step in at all. Mortals have proven themselves to many times.

How many times do you suppose the Lich, Shiro and Varesh have had their arses handed to them?

You forgot Abaddon

Not only did his attack on Shing Jea and Tombs go unsuccessful but just to kick him when hes down we foil Nightfall and then beat him up.

Abaddon should have tried fighting without armies, and he would have won.

The Rule of Ninjas clearly dictates that winning likelyhood is directly proportional to how outnumbered you are.

Shiro, Lich and Varesh without their armies could easily have taken any group of 8 wandering morons individually.... but they made the stupid mistake of pitting armies against groups of 8 morons.... which meant the morons HAD to win.
