I like how you think!

Classes... either some kind of monk variation (NOT necessarily unarmed fighter or pure healer... ), or else a shaman which is almost the same thing, though the ritualist is basically a shaman... hmm. Some kind of polearm melee class perhaps.

Too much speculation at this point but I'd really like your idea to be true. :P

Utopia sounds like a prequel to me.
Like the time of Doric...

All magic available for everyone, people go insane because of too much power, meeting the five gods when they were still human etc.

But how to fit in existing characters?

You may need to re-read the post I replied to. We were talking about chapters' names, not their stories.

There're at least 2 guys on this thread saying that "Utopia" name doesn't fit well with Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall. But the way I see it, the names of the first 3 chapters are not even related to each other.

Clear enough?

I hope they introduce the Seer's Race :O
And the Mursaat of course, but:
They arent really our enemy now, they were trying to lock away something which thankfully was locked away, and we came and wrecked all the peace and love!

So yeh - Mursaat Allies sounds nice, now that we understand each other, not that we actually understand them :P

As you can see these were done on the same day. Suprisingly they opted not to register the .co.uk domain or .eu. With the kinda of cash they have floating about I would have assumed they would have covered all bases !

While I won't believe it until ANet says something about it. I can't help but think that wouldn't be a bad name.

Maybe it's about how you know how Viezer Kilbron (sp?) caused the Catalysm and sunk all of Orr into the sea that it southwest of Ascalon and North west of the Crystal Desert. They said all of Orr was destroyed underwater but it could of beem saved by someone. There you go, that's the Atlantis and the Utopia =D my theory.

THe mursaat are dead, They died when the titans were unleashed. Their homeland was the Ring of Fire... and yes we have been there. But the mursaat were wiped unless of course a section managed to escape.. but definately not enough to populate an entire country, let alone a village

lol, you have no idea what your talking about Scrinner. The mursaat's homeland is NOT the ring of fire. Their homeland is Janthir. This is from wiki:

Janthir is a sacred island for the White Mantle.

The names of several White Mantle items are in reference to Janthir:

Eye of Janthir
Token of Janthir
Tablet of Janthir
Janthir is a place with inhabitants that were said to possess the gift of true sight. It is possible that Janthir is the name of a Mursaat city, possibily somewhere along the bank of the Ullen River. If so, it is hidden by a magical shadow-like ward (as mentioned by Old Joness, the banks of Ullen are shrouded by something "unseen").

Retrieved from "http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Janthir"

This could also be a very good plot.

Actually the Atlantis Idea was presented by me and a good friend of mine in the mursaat history post in GWonline.com about two years ago, but thats what we though chapter 2 is going to be.

Anyways...Some have said prequel, but you cannot move your characters back in time, cuz that would cause a time/space distruption and will result in time-quakes. LOL.

I'm talking to Glim [Jade Armor Henchman]!
I'm talking to Glim [Jade Armor Henchman]!
I'm talking to Glim [Jade Armor Henchman]!

=P

Okay first of all the word UTOPIA means "no place" (non existant place) which ironically means in Thomas More's piece that the place he created as an island where the ideal society lives in, cannot exist.

Secondly I usually believe in these rumors/speculations. These don't pop outta nowhere, there's usually an unconfirmed source (yes unconfirmed) but that source is still a source, it's prolly waiting to be announced, go public and official so I'll accept Ch4 as GW:Utopia now.

There's really good material in the mursaat and orr for story material if you ask me. Mursaat were like the final area creature in chap1 and I think they shuold be involved in the story more. (They are cool

) Also the story should embody more elements from the GW Lore as mentioned above. We'll have plenty of content that way, for the story that is, which will make the devs create opportunities for non story gameplay a.k.a pvp.

Therefore I say

I'm talking to Glim [Jade Armor Henchman]!

For those doubtors this is taken straight from the Meriam Webster online dictionary:

Main Entry: uto·pia
Pronunciation: yu-'tO-pE-&
Function: noun
Etymology: Utopia, imaginary and ideal country in Utopia (1516) by Sir Thomas More, from Greek ou not, no + topos place
1 : an imaginary and indefinitely remote place
2 often capitalized : a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions
3 : an impractical scheme for social improvement

Don't get too excited, I bet my theory is totally wrong. Here is history of Orr from wiki:

After the Searing the Charr forces marched south to Orr and quickly overwhelmed its armies. We are told that the empire was destroyed when the king's personal advisor, Vizier Khilbron, used powerful magic to defeat the invading Charr forces, magic that caused a devastating explosion which killed the attacking Charr, but also destroyed the city of Arah, and most of the surrounding peninsula. This event is referred to as The Cataclysm.

The Cataclysm caused most of Orr to sink to the bottom of the Bay of Sirens (which - after this event - was renamed Sea of Sorrows). The parts that are above sea level are charred and barren, and haunted by the undead.

Much of this story might have been relayed by Vizier Khilbron himself, one of the few survivors of the disaster, and might not be an accurate account.

Many of the Orrian forces appear now as Undead throughout Kryta.

As you see in the 2nd paragraph it says, "The Catacylsm caust MOST of Orr to sink to the bottom of the Bay of Sirens. The part that is above is dead, but it does not say anything about the part below.

Also don't forget about Janthir the island home to the mursaat. Also do Deldrimor is the only other nation listed on wiki other than the ones we have visited. That could be a good setting.

I don't know anything can happen.

for those thinking we'll be in Orr for the next chapter, you know that Orr is located within the prophecies map right? I don't think we'll ever go to Orr as a seperate chapter since it's located within a current campaign.

The only reason that rumor is being spread is because there is a WHOIS registration for that Domain name. Now think about it with me here folks. Since when has ANet made a website for an individual title? Never. They all are under the umbrella site of guildwars.com The truth is no one knows why they have that domain registered and locked down and until they actually do something with it instead of just letting it take up space on the internet then we won't know. Someone already mentioned this and the thread was closed because it was just irresponsible rumormongering. Mods please lock this one up too.

They infact have registered individual title names but they all go to the official site.

www.guildwarsfactions.com

They also registered the domain www.guildwarsnightfall.com but the link has never worked. So they would do the same with campaign 4 and make www.guildwars[chapter name].com to link to their official site. Nobody ever said about creating seperate websites.

That said it could still be false. I wont speculate fully until i see the official press release of it.

WHOIS for Factions.
http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d...ctions&tld=com

WHOIS for Nightfall.
http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d...htfall&tld=com

WHOIS for Utopia.
http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d...utopia&tld=com

Compare Nightfalls one and Utopias one.

Check this post out to see for yourself why I do not think the next chapter could be Orr. Make sure to read the last paragraph carefully and you may see the reason that I believe Orr is now "The Ring of Fire"

What CG rendered intro movie? None of the campaigns have pre-rendered anything, it's all in game rendering.

These movies are on your retail install disc, not anywhere in-game. The installer gives you an option to view it.

i think Guild Wars:Utopia will like be most MMORPGs wherein you can interact with LOTS of players in an instance do things such as fishing, kill monsters, player killing, hunt in groups and collect uber items.

but the next xhapter could be in orr,but as people have stated that involves using the tyrian map, where the remnants of orr are located as islands, but it is an intriging theory, but i personally dont think it will happen

i am not sure about making a copletely different game known as guild wars 2 as it will cause a divide between the first and second guild wars where some go play guild wars 2 and the other the orignal, that would mean less players on both and since you would not be able to transverse between the 2, that would mean no interactment, i suppose it could work and anet could still make monet etc but at the cost of a great divide, but that being said, you never know you could be right

Not likely, that would require more server maintenance, which is cost prohibitive.
