That's because no update notes, login announcements, or decorations have been made yet. There are links in this thread to where we are getting our information from though.

Edit: Wow, super ninja'd.

Well then, that makes me less confuzzled. Y'all have yammered for 13 pages about what might be happening later tonight.

Many and majority. Learn the difference.

No, the source is reliable.

I do think, though, that those GW players we just mentioned, when they roll a new toon, will be very likely to keep those quests active... if they remember it's farmable, that is!

Once a human has knowledge of something that makes his life easier, he'll usually do it.

Question - based on the interview at massively, does this mean they are discontinuing adding any new minis for any reason?

You're arguing semantics. Many and majority can both be common enough that it impacts the game. Especially one the size of GW.

Most humans don't feel the need to repeat the same task over and over.

Trying to sell the idea that the majority of GW players leave quests active to farm them is very, very tough.

It doesn't mean there won't be new minis ever again. It just means that it's probably the end of new minis as birthday gifts.

I just hope that I won't have to delete some of my established characters just to start over and try to get certain minis. 8 Characters x 5 tries each. 40 attempts every five years to get something I don't already have. I don't like those odds.

I agree. There might be new Mini's like we got them in WiK. They might implement the same thing in WoC. Heck for all we know they might adjust the Urgoz & deep end chests to drop mini's like UW endchest

Why should I have to buy something when I can get it for free? Plus with my luck, I only get commons, not enough for a basic Bone Dragon.

The costumes are already marked down in the shop. I just checked.
