It says the next campaign to be released Q3 '07 will be titled "Eye of the North". It states that it will cost less than the previous campaigns, but it will be an expansion in that you have to own at least one of the previous campaigns (any one).
It says there are 10 new heroes. I didn't think any campaigns other than Nightfall would have more heroes since we'd then have a bunch of repeat professions and such.
After this, supposedly GW will be on hiatus (in that there wont be any new full campaigns) 'til around '09 when GW2 will be released. It supposedly happens hundreds of years after Prophecies and will include zone wide open battles.
And this interesting tidbit:

I for one don't put much stock in the accuracy of this information, but at the same time I can't immediately discount it.....
ADMIN EDIT: I'm going to put some clarifying statements in this post to help people.

Just a quick word to let you know that we haven't made any official announcements about Guild Wars in, oh, a couple of months. Sure, there's a little *ahem* info circulating this week. But you guys know the drill: Until we say it, it's not official. I can tell you that some of what you've read is right, some of it is wrong, and quite a bit of it is misleading. Unfortunately, we can't offer a fact check quite yet. The good news is that the top game publications in Europe and the U.S. are preparing feature articles with major Guild Wars news -- I wasn't joking when I said a few days ago that I think it'll knock your socks off. In the U.S., PC Gamer will begin delivery of the May issue to subscribers on March 15, and it will be on newsstands on April 3. European magazines, including Joystick in France, PC Zone in the U.K., PC GamePlay in Benelux, Games Machine in Italy, and PC Gamer in Germany, will reach subscribers and newsstands before the end of March. Knowing you guys, no matter where you're located, you'll be sharing the info from your regional magazines, and that's great. I want to make sure that I let you know, this isn't some small feature -- I would boldly say that any Guild Wars player would want to buy one of these magazines, subscriber or not! In part this is because they'll offer great articles with a lot of cool info. In part it's because the magazines will give you the chance to adopt your very own exclusive new miniature. Check our website for more info tomorrow! |

The Inquirer is *NOT* the National Enquirer. The National Enquirer is a supermarket tabloid, with stories about Elvis and aliens. The Inquirer is an established technology news site, with a somewhat anti-Microsoft, anti-Dell viewpoint. The article was published by the latter, which has *no* relation to the former. That said, I can't vouch for whether or not the Inquirer is correct about what's going on with Guild Wars. Like any new site, it could well have been spoofed. Or maybe they found a drunk NCSoft employee in the bar; lots of leaks happen that way. |
We'll see....
