They haven't shown themselves to be able to balance 10 classes and now they want to add races to it.
There is no roll-eyes emoticon big enough to express my view of that decision...
"Fresh Guild Wars announced" From the Inquirer!

wow I really can't believe this is happening lol....
It makes me not wanna play anymore.

and for all the people wanting their chars to go over to GW2, its HUNDREDS of years later,, its not gonna happen

You'd have thought that PC Gamer would have said something already if they have access to info previous to any announcements/press releases... Going on the 6 months per campaign theory we should be due a new release soon, but this looks kinda rushed IMO - ANet seem to care about the game and less about grabbing cash from players, which doesn't seem to be the case here. 2 years for new content? No thankyou. :/

Umm
Plausible things.
The Name
The storyline
Release Date
Armor Sets
Heroes.
GW 2 in 09/10
Might be true
18 Dungeons(missions?)
Doubtful
Last GW for 2 years.
Expansion pack format.
Number of Skills
It does sound kinda cool. But I really hope there is a big change in game mechanics. IF it is the last new big content for 2 years then I can see pretty much the entire game's population leaving and finding something else to do.
Now, what they may do is to release SF like expansions every 3-4 months which may help, but with so many MMO's about to be released competition would be fierce.
I guess wait and see, and trust no one is the order of the day.

whats with all the negative comments....?? information has yet to be fully released and yet i see so many "its a bad idea" replies

The force can do many things ,some consider unnatural.... Glint will make you sleep for 100 years then its off to get some charr in your party woot!
Knightsaber Sith
Wow, at first I thought Anet would probably hold off on commenting for a while; but with people starting to say they're no longer motivated to play this is starting to sound like a major community relations nightmare for Anet that could force their hand......
omg, you totally just reminded me of one of the endings to Bruce Campbell vs the Army of Darkness

Expansion? No new campaigns? I read this as the end of days for Guildwars.

Finally, news! It surely gives me a lot to think about and look forward to. Thx ANet!
I share the concern about WoW-likeness and monthly fees tho, but hey, so far the ANet guys never disappointed me. And a game has to change concept from time to time i guess to keep players busy.
A shame tho Eye of the North comes in Q3 and not in April, like I hoped.

I can see GW2 being PvE only (or almost PvE only), as there's no need for Races in PvP. If that's true, then almost everyone I know will quit, and not buy GW2... races are for WoW, please keep them there

^ they won't. Lineage did not erase any user data from their servers when Lineage 2 was released.
"40 new armor sets" - there's 10 professions, so 4 new armor sets per profession is not bad at all.
"150 new skills, 50 of which PvE" - they had taken a leaf out of our book about having some skills reserved for PvE only. And its a huge improvement compared to only 2 PvE skills in NF(excluding the Junundu's).
"18 new multi-level dungeon" - this is perhaps the most interesting part. I hope when they meant dungeon, it means the size of 1 dungeon = whole of RoT. Bear in mind, that the article is stressing that Ch4 is geared towards end-game characters, I think and hope it will bring some challenges to the current gameplay.
I'm okay with the wait of 2 years, so long I got something to interest me during the wait, such as new maps, weapons, armors...

I'm not really worry about GW2 but I would like to know what Ch4 will do to try and bring back people who left the game. More of the same contents will not go down well, and will they or won't they address all the bad issues that happen in GW at the moment. Have to wait and see, I guess.

"100% oriented towards gamers with characters of maximum level." 
40 new armor sets!
GW2: "Playable races include Humans, Charr, Norns, Asurians and Sylvarians."
_____
I like the idea of having to own atleast one other campaign to play this. Cant wait to see what it's like. And finally new races in GW2, It's about time!

Yeah this new expansion sounds a lot more geared towards PVE. What about PVP? They get 100 new skills? woot? Hopefully theres more to this expansion rather than all PVE...
Machinae
I guess 4 new sets of armor for each of the existing professions sounds in-theme, yet the idea of 50 pve-only skills astounds me. Isn't GW supposed to have a strong PvP fanbase?
Sorry, but if this is set north of Tyria and post-charr invasion, wouldn't it make sense for it to be Prophecies-only if you're going to limit it that way?
While the article begins by saying "NCsoft has announced..." I can't see anything on the NCsoft official website (http://www.ncsoft.com/) about this. Wouldn't they have something up by now?

? Do they use spindles and scissors as weapons? Oh i can see my little Charr shamaness already!
To be honest...no matter what they do in GW 2 - Im a fan ..and loyal- so im gonna play it anyway. And eve IF GW 2 was like WoW it would still be better. Im convinced. I have to rub it onto the noses of all my wow-freaky colleagues...

I hope there wont be a GW2. I always believed they would just constantly update the engine,small bits at a time, so the game slowly becomes more advanced,almost without anyone noticing it. (the moving mouths for example). I want GW to go on for at least ten years!
MirageMaster
PVP? lol what you need for pvp you already got,skills then charge in same arena,outdamage others.... thats all,what else can possible pvper can want? if they leave i am sure not gonna miss them.
Elyisa Nightsoul
40 new armor set? Nothing great, NF brought us 5 armor set for each class (except Assassin and Ritualist)
150 new skill? Maybe unbalanced skills like SF and SS were (Searing Flames, SandStorm). They will be ubermax powered, so people begin to love them, and nerfed after 2 month when lot of guyz bought and enjoyed the game.
Dungeon multi-level? Sorry, we're talking about GuildWars, that is a C-RPG (Competitive RPG), not a MMO-RPG (massive). Multi-level belongs to a Pve-only game, and Gw isn't.

Please Anet, just dont.
PVP is imbalanced enough without having to wait 3 months for any balance to another races abilities or skills. Theres a reason i play GW and not WoW, and making the PVP more mindless isnt helping.

I can sleep tonight knowing that the theme (or where it takes place) is pretty cool anyways.

what i see both interests me and frightens me. but i will wait for Gaile =^ . ^= to make a comment or for an official bit of info.
zwei2stein
umm ... WTH are Norns, Asurians and Sylvarians - and why arent there playable Centaurs, Tengu and Dwaves.

Anyway, i REALLY hope that that 3 of of those 18 dungeons are missing god realms.
---
new expasion get tumbs up for:
* no new classes (relieved to hear this)
* 100% L20
* finishing story of Ascalon.
* size
* more heroes
thumbs down for:
* GW1 is gonna end way sooner than expected.

I hope this article is beyond fake... but as we all know rumours are rumours... and are dead true 90% of the time.
First off, Anet is going in the right direction. Ending the story of what happened to Ascalon, one of the biggest PvE questions to have laid their hands on since beta. Few skills... even better imo more time to look at their function and with 1/3 of them being PvE only PvP will obviously get a few shakes and skills already existing will be looked at for balance.
My biggest concern ever... GW2, I see so many things wrong with this it is honestly shattering to read that, and even think about signing on THIS guildwars again. Time effort and energy spent will be gone and wasted. There was a comparison as to how other games have had sequels and you are correct, yet this game is different ~ It has the ability to become better as technology increases HOW IT IS~
Either way, until this is confirmed... Gaile... Please... alot of us are sitting in our hot seats. If GW2 is not compatible with GW1, this game will die immediately. If it IS compatible there could possibly be some kind of revival to this game.

.... it was nice to run for the first time to lions arch at gates of kryta while it use the enviroment of the burned out Ascalon before Ascalon even existed.And about cookies..... what can pvp players posibly want? they got no use for areas or quests or the story line.... they only want skills @_@ that you can get with unlock pack.

According to everything thats going on in these last 3 1/2 pages, people want to quit right now, no matter what? if its not compatible? For some reason i doubt that. You might disagree with everything thats going on right now, but everyone that is reading this thread is on the edge of their seats waiting...
