- Guild Wars Factions, released April 28th, 2006.
- Guild Wars Nightfall, released October 27th, 2006.

Anyone remember when we got the first official info about that 2 campaigns?

Looking at Guildwiki:
- Guild Wars Factions Global Free-for-All PvP Weekend (January 20-22, 2006)
- Guild Wars Nightfall PvP Preview Event. (July 28-30, 2006)

So, Factions PvP weekend was at January end, so ...

Shouldn't this be in the Q&A forum?

Anyways most likely A.net will release info on Chapter 4 in this month, till then we have to wait and see.

People have been saying GW4 will be released in August. (Not official) If it's true, that's why.

The factions PvP event was at the end of january last year

The PvE event was around mid march i do belive. So i would imagine news should be coming soon.

Well, at this date 1st February (2006) we had a lot info about Factions, even played a full weekend with Ritualists and Assassins. I really doubt the next campaign will be released in April 28th, and in some way (I don't know exactly why) I am happy for that.

Note Factions and Nightfall PvP Preview Events were THREE months before release?

Just a reminder that as ANet is still working on the skill and PvP balances, I don't think they would put on a PvP preview event until that is finished.

And I agree, NeHoMaR, part of me is full of anticipation for the new chapter and a larger part of me is not ready for it.

Actually some sites and retail outlets, especially in the UK have Chapter 4 slated for September

Previous chapter's dates when info was released, game shops listing release dates, rumors amongst the fansites...none of this matters nor does it affect a release date. Anet will choose to inform us of what is coming and also choose a release date for it as they please, what works for them.

Is there a filter here on guru so I don't have to see these kinds of posts any more!?!?

I am just comparing past dates with present dates

I mean, C4 is obviously delayed in some way (at least for info about it and PvP preview event, if any)

No Chapter 4 is not delayed, Talking to Izzy last night it seems they aren't following the 6 month release schedule anymore... Which is a shame and I feel quite depressed about it, but oh well

To return to the original question, the official press announcement for Factions was on January 10, 2006 and for Nightfall was July 18, 2006.

Well, next campaign name doesn't exist legally yet, the only registered in USA are GW, GWF and GWN, no more; and that is maybe one of the 1st thing they must do? not sure

Just to contain this misinformation, a trademark will only be publicly available from the USPTO when it is published for opposition. This doesn't happen until about a month before the actual release. The name is very likely already pending with the USPTO.

I don't live in USA and I know nothing about their laws (and I don't care really

) Anyway, I think pending is not the same as registered, so, I don't think I am wrong in my past post after all

On topic, thinking a little more, I don't want new campaign released yet, maybe at the end of 2007; not exactly sure why but I still think release big new content now will "confuse" the things a lot.

Pending means that it is filed with the USPTO, awaiting publication. In this state, the trademark filing is not available to the public. When you make a product, you file the trademark with the USPTO. It will remain pending until the filing company decides to publish it for opposition. This is usually done very shortly before launching whatever product it might be.

"Guild Wars Nightfall" was filed with the USPTO on April 18th, 2006. It was published for opposition on August 1st, 2006, right around the first public beta event.

This means that the name for campaign 4 is almost definitely filed with the USPTO, but is yet to be published for opposition, meaning that yes, the name "does exist legally", and that yes, you were wrong in your post afterall.

It's all on the USPTO site if you'd bother reading up on it before making these claims.

I'm not arguing anything. I'm telling you.

When you're being paraphrased, it's a good idea not to bring out any obvious shortcomings, as they're inherently yours. That's usually the point of paraphrasing.

It's obvious that you don't care whether the information you're spreading is reliable or not, as is shown by your lack of even basic investigation into the matter, but you did care enough about it being exposed to actually make a rebuttal, and then copping out like this instead of conceding.

I have a cookie and a kleenex for you if you want them.

Well, I am "trying" to finish the Luxon part of Factions, not even touched one quest/mission of that part.

As long as you keep quoting my posts, I'll reply. If you're going to provoke me, I'll rebut. What exactly do you expect?

What I've said has been entirely on topic until you decided to derail it with a pathetic insult, so if anyone's destrying anything by taking it off-topic, I'm afraid that's you. You have a rather warped view on handing someone the last word, NeHoMaR, and I strongly suggest you check your posts for logic before trying to end something with an insult under the guise of attempting to be the better person when you clearly are incapable of being that.

To sum it up for the viewing public, the fact that the name for the next chapter isn't publicly available from the USPTO is to be expected, and if trends continue, it will only become public a month or two before release. Anyone claiming it to be evidence of either that chapter 4 development hasn't started, or that chapter 4 doesn't have a name yet should be ignored.
