Given the release date, this could almost be a scam from play.com.

I've read about ch4 being pushed back on multiple sites in various threads. Something tells me this info came from the inside and is in fact true. With this game, when rumors spread that wildly, they almost always are true.

It seems Play is needing some money so they put out a pre-order and a "release" date hoping to get some quick cash and no return to you for your trouble.

no no no!!!! dont make another guild wars!

they closed it of so nice! everything got wraped up! heres my opinion on what they should do. give us 3-5 years to screw around with the three campains. by that time, the game will have little to no players. during that time they should be making guildwars2 or something like that, and make it absolutly amazing. but if they make another addon to guildwars its just going to be as repetitive as the last 3 and nothing realy new at all. all the skills will be copies of old ones and a lot of players wouldnt buy it.

cmon anet! 3 is the magic number and you hit it with nightfall. now give us some time to do everything and dont make another rushed expansion

Has anyone ever seen an official release date for chapter four? Nope. Claiming a date was pushed back is total BS when there never was a date ever announced.

How can the game play be changed in a huge way without making a completely different game? There will never be WoW styled professions, probably won't ever be mounts, so what exactly do you want? Until the series is ended expect it to be basically the same with only new classes added with each campain.

Anyone who knows the game well enough knows of Anets plan to continue to release new content every 6-9 months(with a push towards 6 months od course), thus there is no monthly fee, there were pre orders of Prophecies , and Factions, and NF, so I dont see what the big deal is, people familar with this site have seen plenty of these posts, and this is just another one too add to the pile of unimportant posts with no basis in fact.

Then ALEX and GAILE must be crosswired. Because she said that the DEV TEAM was debating about pushing back the release a couple of months. She said that at the beginning of December last I recall. That was around the same time she was talking about the December 20th update.

Call it what you want, but search for it yourself before badmouthing.

How about you search for a quote to support Your argument. Not make other people do it. Until you do don't expect anyone to pay you much mind.

If that statement had been made and believed it would of made the Forum Headlines and have a sticky thread.

I find that very ironic.

But I did find the Post and it was an incorrect month.

But they haven't said anything about Chapter 4 other than that so I can't fault anyone for speculating on it.

People always rush out the old mantra of "if Anet hasn't said it, it's not true". Reminds me of several years on the battle.net forums.. rumors about the Diablo II expansion. The mantra of "If Blizzard didn't say it, it isn't true." But the rumors being posted WERE true, about what was in the game, and when it was released.

Then rumors that the Warcraft III expansion would be called "The Frozen Throne" and released at some point that summer or whatever. Once again, "If Blizzard didn't say it, it's not true". People ridiculing the name ("Blizzard would never use a stupid name like that!"). And so on, and so on.

And yet, that's exactly what it was called. And it came out right when the rumors said it would.

I'm not saying rumors are ALWAYS true. Not even close. But I can't count the number of times I have had to watch people chanting "If XXX didn't say it's not true!" only to have it turn out to be true.

Try not to be so cynical all the time people. Sometimes this info and leaks are in fact very true.

we have a TV show in Belgium that covers everthing from the latest games to retro. 1.5 months ago they had an interview with the NCsoft representative for the Benelux about the NF part of GW. When they asked him about a possible part 4, he clearly stated that the new part wouldnt be available before AUGUST 2007, but they would be adding new content for the earlier parts of the game.

Well GW's 2nd bday would be the end of april/start of may. So while I belive there will be a chapter 4 I don't see it comeing out march the 1st as stated by the play.com website. I somehow don't think they will miss doing something for GW's 2nd bday be it chapter 4 or a sorrows furnace type update for Nightfall I guess. But i'm sure they will DO someting

Play.com do not charge your card until dispatch, and they never have. They are therefore not making any quick cash. They are simply making preparations early for sales. They did this with Factions too if I recall correctly.

then you obviously have an official GW site announcement link to show us.

please provide it rather than saying try to find it.


in the mean time a repeat of ALEX WEEKES is needed

I know it's incredibly boring, but I can only repeat what Gaile has said when asked about rumours in the past:

Until we confirm something, don't set your heart on it being true. If it's a rumour, chances are it's going to be wrong. That's the way these things go, a lot of the time. Someone will talk about something they'd *like* to have, and overtime as more people talk about it it gets twisted into "I heard they are going to do this..."

Regardless of whether the release date on play is right or wrong there's nothing wrong with them allowing people to pre-order Chapter 4 now.

No this is not some blatant attempt by play to get more money or rip people off as a couple of people have posted. For one thing play don't take any cash from your bank until they have actually mailed you the product so they wont take any money from you until Chapter 4 is actually released.

Additionally play don't rip people off either. My past order list on my play account has over 300 Games, CD's and DVD's listed and only once in the years that I have ordered from play did they mess up an order which they promptly sorted out without any hassle what-so-ever.

The release date is more than likely based upon Anet's 6 monthly Chapter release schedule and even if the release date is not what they have up on the site as of this moment they will still honor any pre-orders they get for the product.

I for one have no problems pre-ordering this from play regardless of whether or not the release date is official.

Sorry, but no, I have never said that we were pushing back release. I have never spoken about release dates at all, not in any sense. In short, yes, there will be a Campaign 4. However, we have not commented upon the title, contents, theme, storyline, region, professions, enemies, or release date. In truth, no details have not been released about Campaign 4 other than the fact there will be a Campaign 4. Sp please, in the interests of keeping everyone properly informed and to quell needless rumours, do not misquote me and do not attribute to me something that I have not said--not in forums, not in person, not in the game.

Thanks.

I don't know why but people have the tendency to take everything you say(whether related to guild wars or not) to a definite fact, even if it isn't a fact in the first place. I'm glad you've cleared this up for people.

Is it this show: http://media.gamevillage.nl/video/06..._nightfall.wmv

It was posted in this thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10083395

If that's it, it's been categorically denied by Gaile: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10083640

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:
  • Release date
  • Location, Setting, Style, Culture, Theme
  • Number of characters
  • Title
  • Cost
  • Prerelease Plans
  • Event Plans
  • Etc.
In truth, we have not set a release date -- not even internally! So once again, I've no idea where all that "information" came from and I don't believe that it is accurate. (With no disrespect intended to whomever that mysterious interviewee is. )
Also, found this regarding the March 1, 2007 date: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10088955
Copy/Paste from thread link:
No. Just... no.

You remember the drill: If you don't hear it from us, it's not official. That's not only not official, it's patently untrue. I can tell you with 100% confidence: Campaign 4 will not be out on March 1, 2007.

It isn't even a "money grab", as Play.com don't take any payment until the item is dispatched. It is a simple pre-order, probably to judge the popularity so they can get the required stock when the time comes. Therefore not disappointing fans when it comes to the actual release day.

No details have not been released?? Does that mean some details have been released?!? J/k of course.

Maybe none of the rumors will turn out to be true but isn't this fun?

I dont see any reason of making a new chapter when there r so many things that could be improved in P, F and NF. I say let em first fix and upgrade existing chapters and not release some half made chapters just just to make few extra bucks.
I still say that quality should come first before the money and quantity.

And even if they make next chapter i dont see myself playing the next chapter who will be stale old campains with nothing new to show ( maybe few make up improvements ). I d rather see em making payable upgrades for existing chapters ( something like in SF style.. there are wast areas of old maps still unused or without any real purposes or maybe implementing existing game play ).

Gaile has said no info can be given on C4 yet, so that means nobody knows, perhpas people are taking this vow of silence as a prelude o a push back, but nobody can say for certain, they are just rumours.

Ontopic to OP: Play.com always retail SE at 17.99, dig around for all the UK.PREORDER FACTIONS/NF threads and see,

That has been suggested countless times, but I doubt they ever will until Guild Wars is distilled across many chapters.

Pwnd by GG herself and you come back to post more crap. Do you even play anymore or just come to foul up the forums?

Anet will do as they please. If you don't like it .... well, you should know by now since you've hear it over and over everyday.

This thread should of been closed after Gaile's reply.

People come to forums to express their thoughts and not just nod and be quiet. If u have problem with that dont come and post here., dont even try to read it than... Discussion is something where two or more sides discuss about one topic. If they would agree on everything than there would be no debate.

And if game will change the way u wont like it I am 100% sure u will the first to come here and complain. So leave ppl to say what they have in mind even if u dont agree with em ok? You will be happier person.
