Guild Wars Chapter 3 : C.A.R.D. Revolution

After the war with Cantha, the air over Tyria was still: The calm after the storm.
Suddenly, in the bustling trade city of Lion's Arch, a startling figure descended from the sky. An aged man, robed in all white, holding in his hands a brilliant staff of an unidentifiable wood. He introduced himself as the Wizard named Coast.
"I have come to introduce into this world", he began, "A new age of magic, driven by an ancient system of compression, using runes and small pieces of a substance called, 'cardboard'. And so it begins!"

An exclusive interview with ArenaNet's developement team:
Guild Wars Chapter 3 returns the focus of the game back to mainland Tyria, bringing back the classics; The struggles of the people of Ascalon, the rivalry between the dwarven factions, the continuing Mursaat invasion, but adds into it a revolutionary concept for MMO gaming: A brand new, never-before-seen item+skill system built around collecting and trading. Players will be able to use this magical alternate reality compression system to build powerful libraries of skills and weapons to turn the tide of battle. Some are easily found, others are quite rare. The rarest of them all glimmer with the light of the gods on their pictures. We think that players will be pleasantly surprised at this change, especially PvE players who love collecting things. And of course, we will continue to strive to seek balance and diversity for our beloved PvP player base.

A sneak peak at what to expect:

See you in Chapter 3!

*Note: On the off chance that it isn't obvious, this is a joke topic. It would not be in the off-topic forum were it even remotely true.
It's a parody of NCSoft's City of Heroes, also, in the sense that CoH ended up becoming a collectible card game, in addition to Phantasy Star Online, Episode 3.

I quit. Between that card game and the spammer with 2 million+ posts a day, there is nothing left for me here.

LOL oh my.. lol Although ArenaNet did ask us about Related products that we may find interesting to purchase... this could be one such product, And its not to hard to produce for them... Lots easier then say the Pewter Charr and Glint figurines that have been mentioned in the past. lol Funny all the same...
