I think one of these two statements must be wrong:
1. this is the last expansion (call it whatever you want) for GW1
2. this will be priced lower than the other chapters.
If this is indeed the last expansion, then possibly one fo the reasons it is taking so long is because after the CH1/3 team finished Ch3, they joined forced with the CH2 team, and are making this a huge game, with hopefully enough content to hold us over for a while. If that is the case, it would still probably be $50.

This sounds truly awesome, if it is true at all. One thing I wonder about is the whole proffessions thing. It was stated after they talked about Guild Wars 2, so i'm thinking that if this is true, once again, the new playable races will be in GW2. However, if there was to be no Guildwars till 2009-10, then it would seem smart to add new races with new beggining places and story lines which kinda tie in with other races, to keep us from getting bored ~.~
Anyway, that's my own opinion.

There-in lies Blizzard's tragedy/folly.
Flagship Studios (Roper and the brother ala Diablo series) does not intend to make the same mistake with Hellgate London.

Ok, but to sum GW1 so far:
We have:
What's next? Creating an edible Pot Noodle?
We have:
- Saved a continent from a menace from beyond the grave, preventing destruction to millions of people.
- Defeated an incredibly powerful warrior spirit and envoy.
- Killed a God.

I think A-net wants to go for broke in winning the next generation of MMOs. There are plenty of good things about Guild Wars, but I think they'll do better by dropping the 6-month expansions model and adding a "pay to expand" model. The game was growing too quickly for players to reasonably keep up.
As long as easy access to PvP remains a goal, I'll happily let Anet start over. If GW2 turns to a WoW clone, I'm off to other games.

I love guild wars but would love it better if it was more mmoish as in a lot more content and explorable areas ect... so if a GW2 is coming.. I'll be extremely interested in that.. as for any more chapters meh...

Regardless of what direction Anet chooses to take the content of the game, I'm sure I will be as pleased with it as I have been with GW in general up to this point. The only thing I don't want to see happen is the game go to a monthly fee format. The GW pay structure has been the one overriding thing that I think Anet has done absolutely right. Please don't make me pay for a game that I then have to pay monthly fees to play. That's a double whammy for people who don't have buckets of money to spend on gaming and has always left a bad, bad taste in my mouth. Either let us pay for the software and have free online play as we currently do, padding the coffers with bonuses like extra character slots and pvp skill unlock packs, or give the software away as a free download and charge the monthly fee.
GW has garnered a huge following and seemed to have done very well by doing things the right way instead of ripping off their customers like the people running other MMO games. Please stick by your guns.

Don't know about that. I think Diablo 2 and Doom 2, 3 sales were still pretty high.

Silva is latin for forest, so sylvarians are likely a race that has something to do with forests
asura- in Hindu mythology, an antagonist of the gods; especially one of a race of titans or demons
norn- in Norse mythology, any of the three godessess, Urth(the past), Verthandi(the present), and Skuld(the future), who determined the destiny of gods and men

Norn? By that description, I can think of only one creature in GW: Glint.

We should just take this article with a grain of salt, especially since there is nothing on the NCSoft website. And if there was, it would be plastered on every gaming website around the world, at least the major ones.
Second, I don't think ANet has the resources and definitely not the manpower to make a game, let alone a chapter with that much content, at least not right now. I think it was said somewhere that ANet has around a hundred employees and by the description of the article that would require several hundred. Especially in the areas of the Art and Programming department.
But as Gaile said, some are true but some are false, although the 150 skills details sucked, especially since most were said to be aimed at PvP. I especially like the excel of PvE content, especially the Armor

but you can't deny the thigns that you KNOW are untrue? Not even clearing up the misleading info or saying that some things aren't exactly right, but things that are downright wrong, ANet won't step in and say "this isn't right. We can't say what it will be, but this isn't it."
I hope to see GW continue, with new chapters or expansions, for a long time. I ALSO hope to see GW2 when it's ready. Guildwars has provided a great game experience, and I believe that it can continue to do so for many yeears to come. There are some glaring shortcomings in it (z-axis movement, for one) but it's a solid, enjoyable and replayable game for a good price. I may complain about certain facets of the game, but ArenaNet has done a great job of listening to their players and trying to make the best game they can.
With that in mind, I have high expectations and hopes for GW2 and the future of the GW franchise. Remember, the original Everquest is still going strong even after the release of EQ2. Diablo 2 is run on private servers all across the world. A good game doesn't die, and I don't think ArenaNet would just toss Guild Wars aside for the next new thing. I expect that one way or another, the players who know and love GW will be able to play it for a long time.

I still call BS on about 90% of that article, but for the record, the screenshot is, as some have already pointed out, NOT of Pre-Searing Wizard's Folly, as I had said.
I was mistaken on that. (Wizard's Folly is actually cooler. ^_^)

C'mon Anet, you can give us something. Just confirm the name for god's sake.
Guild Wars: Eye of the North
Is the GWEN in there accidental? Think again, Anet never does things accidentally. Just look at the thousands of allusions implanted in Lore and gameplay ( Don't ask for examples, just open your eyes).
Just 10 more days until hell breaks loose on all GW forums.

I don't think they mean most are aimed at pvp since currently almost every skill used in pve can be used in pvp.
It just talks about how they are making PvE MORE special by giving it more unqiue skills.

Agree with above, since nothing is confirmed it can't be confirmed as false now can it? Plus I bet the devs enjoy teasing us, I actually like it myself, its fun.

and about the screenshot...
The article is a tad misleading about this screenshot... it implies that it's a shot of Guild Wars 2... when it's clearly made with the GW graphics engine we all know and love (see how the chain is a 2d sprite?)

No no no... it's implying that it's a screenshot from GW: Eyes of the North, not GW2. Why would they already have a screenshot from a game that has another 2-3 years worth of developing?
Also, since it looks like some kind of Dwarven building, it would make a lot of sense to be in the north - like, Northern, Northern Shiverpeaks?

If it where a stand-alone, then there would be no question on the CE, since each one previous has had a CE. It might even be fair to speculate that it's also true that you must own a previous chapter to play, and that it's all L20 content.
