I always get a bit surprised when I see someone from Anet who isn't a CM post.

Could you give us a teaser for the update? Even a screenshot?

I ponder what the surprises will be.... possibly something like Cantha beyond? yes... or something that'll make us really happy and not assume it'll make us happy lol.

John will the website be updated today or tomorrow? Also can we expect the build at its normal time or earlier?

I just hope that it's not a 1 day event. I have a work function tomorrow so I will literally be unable to play GW for the entire day for the first time in months...

It'd suck to miss the event because of something dumb like work!

The event usually lasts almost a week. Intresting photoshop image on that mini by the way.

Maybe the mini's will be creatures from GW2? Sort of a preview.

so not until half way thru tomorrow will there be anything (since most of their builds take place at noon pacific time)....and the last time we were told there would be something new and exciting was canthan new year. So I expect another stupid tonic and possible something besides the cupcakes dropping--and not much else (I HOPE they have been feverishly working on the WoC and hear SOMEthing about its starting .....soon)

(being on the pessimistic side means that when good things happen I am happily surprised and if they dont I am not surprised at all

I found the April Fool's Day quest quite unique. Even if it were something small like that I'd be pleased.

They didnt say anything to the order of 'some surprises' which they did for the last canthan new year (as well as LAST anniversary)....so april fool's wasnt even considered as a celebration where they have said: new surprises.

Even if something is added to the store, they'll be something to enjoy within the game itself.
