Hmm I saw something once about chupacabra's. They looked a bit like monkey's, floated in the air and could suddenly disappear... And they only were seen in Mexico.
Hmmm but then again, it was in a program about aliens and stuff... (people who think they saw aliens etc)
Anyway, I'd like to play in a jungle area, something like Istan in Nightfall (there was this jungle like area, and I think the first mission's temple was also in this area). Maybe we'll see traps, or undead-half man/half monkey thingies (I just saw The Mummy Returns :P)
EDIT: Chupacabra literaly meant 'Goat sucker' I think

Hey, guys,
I don't know who that gentleman is, but he doesn't work for ArenaNet, and I don't think he works for NCsoft in any capacity, either. Which begs the question of why he's being interviewed about our game.
The only information we have at present about Campaign 4 is that there will be a Campaign 4. That's it, honestly!
We have not announced any of the following:

2 chapters a years could work - they just have to avoid what they did with Factions.
Consider that Factions was halfway done before most people ever even played Prophesies, they made a -lot- of guesses about what people would want before they had true feedback, and they simply guessed wrong.
Nightfall on the other hand shows that they do have the ability to get some of it right - it may not have everything everyone wants, but it does have a lot of things a lot of people wanted.
Now that they have constant feedback, another Factions is not as likely. Possible, but not as likely.
And some of Factions was great. The new professions, conceptually, are very neat - much better concepts than the Dervish and Paragon to me, but one was too hard for the average player to master, and the other too 'secondary' - best at nothing, but good at everything. Funny thing there is that the Ritualist, in that secondary role, would make the perfect 'Hero', and yet is the only profession with no Hero...
But I digress...
Point is, I don't think the idea of two chapters a year is a lost cause, I think they are likely better able to do it now, barring manpower issues, than they were before. The knowledge and community is more in place now.
As for the theme of meseoamerica (Toltec, Aztec, Mayan), I'm all for it, and so is Mel Gibson.
If they time the release right, they could seriously cash in on the Gibson-factor.
Hopefully, it will have a lot of influence in the conquest of the Toltecs by the Aztec rather than the half-century later Cortez parade... (where the Toltec majority overthrew their Aztec conquerers using Cortez as a proxy).
The Toltec struggle is just more interesting, and less known north of the Rio Grande.

And the interviewer clearly says "easy interactive"...
(Dutch is my native language, just FYI)
Anyway, I read Gaile's post in here. I have more trust in her words than those of "Michel from Easy Interactive".
So I'm calling it BS, meant as filler for whatever site this came from
Glad too, august 2007 is just... too long to wait, for me anyways
I was about to post a full transcript of what the guy said in english but seeing as its not real i wont bother, even when looking at the movie i was thinking : this guy cant be real, i mean hes not saying anything new at all.
I mean if they were to interview me or anyone that has played long enough and keep track of gaile and stuff, would be able to give more info then him :|
Seems to me just some random guy , possibly plays GW and decided to do as if he was Anet/NCSoft and give info which any player could have done.

As I stated earlier:
Treat it as such. Since the interview was done by PC Gameplay magazine I noted that in their Dec. Issue they have a section on Guild Wars Nightfall. It would be interesting for someone to get their hands on a copy and see if this information is in there in print. No, doesn't make it anymore legit but just an interesting item.
EDIT: It does look like there is an Easy Interactive company that partners with NCSoft and there's a guy name Michel as their Managing Director. They reissue PC games and are based in The Netherlands:

So if I asked the question to Gaile that this guy's, speculation was a total flat out lie? This includes the theme and release date. You see the problem is for me is that sometimes there are disgruntle employees or people, who know other people in Arena Net or NC-Soft (usually coming out of R&D). I don’t know how they do it but most things that get tied up in the supposed, “vault” get out by these muskrats. Believe me when I say I totally hate those people for giving out information before the companies can assets the problems. No one wants to go through some super hyped trail and no one wants to be let down.

I mean on these very forums we have talked about the next chapter possibly being aztec/mayans and about the 1 in the next year, he could just be following logic as he said, 1 in the first year 2 in second, so you could assume 1 next year again and 2 the year after that.
