Shapshifting sounds interesting but its not new to GW (see Dervish Elite Forms). It seems to me that if they were to introduce a race with the ability to shapshift it would simply be another skill option you could choose to equip in your bar. ie For X seconds you become a Giant Hamster and your melee attacks do +X dmg etc etc

Если информацию об аддоне вы уже могли найти и на других интернет-источниках, то вот данные о сиквеле игры, о Guild Wars 2, полностью эксклюзивны ..../...
Подробно обо всем этом вы сможете прочитать в ближайшем номере «Игромании», который в конце месяца появится на прилавках.

but may be you are right they got there "exclusive" info from the confidence of a Russian whöre.. So to be safe I urge you to buy Buy PC gamer in two weeks since it is what A.net want you to do .

According the web-renowned and respected translator Babelfish (lol..), that text (from Russian to English translation) means:

"Now the peace of game is united, leaving to the task you can meet on it many other parties."

This translation is correct. The world will be uninstanced and when you go for a quest you will be able to encounter/meet other groups/parties.

This translation isn't correct. Russian word "мир" has several meanings, one of them is "world", other one is "peace".

P.S. I'm russian.
P.P.S. Sorry for my English.

Partial-instancing would be easy. Just look at what the current group is doing in this instance, and then send in a new group that will be doing something else. Boom, instant social experience with a minimum of ruined gameplay. To spice it up you could have areas in the game where PVP would be enabled and groups would have the option of conflicting for their goals.

And as far as the business side of running WOW or GW, it is safe to say that nobody here knows anything. Even most people working for these companies wouldn't know the exact financial situation. Suffice it to say though, WOW doesn't cost $14 per month per person to operate. Nor does it cost EA $x per month to run the stat tracking system that registered BF2142 servers connect to. But they happily leech the money from the ignorant population anyway.

WoW handles PVP well enough, in a PVE server it’s entirely your choice to get flagged or not. It’s difficult to consider that ruining a game.

you might want to add some [sarcasm] quotes around that...just in case

On that topic though: I am sure they will figure out some way to prevent killstealing and drop leechers.

well a few more days and all this speculation will die down and instead we'll all hopefully be rejoicing at some really good news. I'm not getting my hopes up for the inquirer article being true tho.

This isn't right getting people's hopes up like this.

Nothing is official until it's official... Especialy when it has no solid source.

Very true, I wish people would look at the source of info sometimes too. They can get some excited by info that isn't guaranteed to be true. (I'm not just talking about this, people seem to jump on the first info on every topic and say it's fact, then be so stubborn when you tell them that it's not)

For all the people comparing GW2 with WoW, for one, the news hasn't been released yet...sit tight. Two, ANet will continue running GW so it's not all bad.

I for one am rather intrigued by all of this. I think an interactive world would be great, it's one of the reasons that nearly sent me over to WoW a year ago. HOWEVER, that all suddenly changed when nearly every monster i killed was exp stolen and then lotted right in front of my eyes. I think if ANet is to make the leap with GW2, they have to be EXTREMELY careful with those problems that keep people away from WoW and faithful to GW.

Obviously, the beta testing will iron out many, many flaws, but if this is true, oh valiant knights of ANet... be careful, please

Ummmm, did you miss Daylight Sav... no, that still wouldn... did you miss a leap year somewhere? That wouldn't make sense anyways, because you would have been complaining about thursday last friday...

I really have to go "lol" when someone complains about how it's "Thursday" or "Monday" for him and still there's no info (or hoping for someone to reach "Tuesday" soon so that he can get the info).

Seriously, it's US's time that matters, otherwise we'd be asking japanese/NZ people about it instead (since they'd reach a new day before most of us).

I am sure they are aware of that fact, however it seems that the money gained because of the magazine deal is more important than that.

Hmm I think Anet is happy with it.. any time your name is mentioned in a magazine, your sales go up. Bad publicity is still good publicity.

You know any actor or actress could sue gossip magazines for enormous amounts of money, but the only reason they don't is cos the magazines keep them 'hot'. If there aint gossips about you, you can just as well retire.

Why, what's the difference between this and them announcing it at the website? Not much, it'll still be on the forums when it comes out.

That is just silly. That old saying is increasingly obsolete, and does not at all cover luxury items. Most publicity is good publicity if you have a product that people need. If you have a product that solely offers entertainment value, bad publicity is bad.

Lol @ bad Publicity is good publicity . For example every single magazine and gaming website in the world reviews Game-X giving it 2/10. Good publicity? Yes Game-X will be famous, but because it is a bad product, and no one will buy it.

EDIT: Fixed so that the text doesn't mislead people

I do not know why you guys think a Magazine(Igromania - http://www.guildwars.com/press/mediapartners.php) which ANET has given this information to be released on stands March 27th will be posting RUMORS in their website?

I actually believe what is posted there. I'm sure most of you will also once the PC Gamer info gets out hopefully today, latest for sure will be April 3rd when anyone can buy it.

PS: I love Guild Wars Nightfall. That was just an example
I don't know where you get those reviews from. I haven't seen one that rated NF less than a 7. Most of them are higher than 8. Now, I don't know about magazines, since I never buy or read them, but a quick Google check will show you that NF has very good reviews.

@Meat Axe - danyjr was making that up to use as an example. He was not saying that he ever saw such a review. Would have been better to say GameX instead of GWNF.

I think he was just making up an example of "bad" publicity.

Apparently not many of you are in the journalism business are you? To be completely honest, (according to my hypothesis) Ch4 probably wont be released until september, and they woundnt release info until probably May or June, but PC Gamer got a scoop, and we are hearing it much earlier because of that. I dont get why everyone MUST have ALL the information INSTANTLY. I think the big problem is that the Inquirer screwed most of you all up. Plus, it's just a game, is the TIME when the details come out really gonna effect how your play?
