Guild Wars: Eye of the North <---> GWEN
Sorry if anyone posted this already I just thought it was interesting, but I am sacred of this GW2 thing, It just seems like NcSoft taking over trying to copy WoW. I hope they keep the basics for GW2 [b]ie.(8 skills, Instances, 20 Level Cap, separation of PvE and PvP, start PvP characters at max level, and ofcourse NO subscription fee) we can only hope for these but it seems to me like ANET is loosing control of the direction of the game. Bah! I hope GW2 doesn't change and become a WoW clone.
GET READY FOR 3 Years of DOOMSDAY threads.

As long as I can transfer characters from GuildWars "1" to GuildWars "2",I'm perfectly fine with it.
If not,Eff that.

Like many other people so far, I'm pleased at the idea of a new GW, but the info given so far nullifies all of this. As for dungeons.. couldn't this be something like Urgoz or The Deep?

Even if the news is true, which I doubt it is. This does not mean that Guild Wars won't release a chapter 4, just means they will release a quick expansion later which will be mainly PvE oriented... wewt!

If this is true ........... No smoke without fire, then I hope that we can take existing characters through to GW2. Most of us by 2009/10 would have invested a lot of time in our characters.
Lore wise, this could very easily be overcome - 500 year old gap between GW and GW2 - Wake from a coma, deep freeze, a spell, will of the Gods, imortality, go through a rift, etc, etc.
Character-wise, they could do it in a similar way that was done with Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. If i remember correctly, your 'old' character transferred across minus a few levels and equipment, armours and weapons etc.
I think the story went that a thief snuck in whilst you were asleep and stole them from your personal chest whilst staying at an Inn. You eventually got them back a little later when you had reached a certain xp level after so many quests and areas etc. This was so you were not too overpowering for the monsters in the early stages of the game.
By doing it this way, ANET would retain its 'loyal player-base'.

This thread makes me sad. You believe stuff from the Inquirer. Amazing.

I'm very skeptical about this news, but if it is true I will be quite dissapointed. The two things I enjoy the most about new chapters are the new classes and new skills. What the heck are we supposed to do with 150 skills? Unless they mean 150 skills per class, that seems more accurate. I don't like the idea of no new classes though, feel free to dissagree with me.

I won't believe anything in this article until we get some sort of confirmation from NCSoft or A-Net.
In short, I do believe that Guild Wars 2 or whatever it is called will not allow characters from the original trilogy over...there have been many "hints" dropped in the past that this trilogy is stand alone, and there will be a "fresh start" in the next series.
Most of us will be completely burnt out with the original series anyways come 2009 and 2010...so I see this as a good thing.

Why is it that when people hear about races added into GW, they immediately think of WoW? Have you guys not played many games before? Pretty much every fantasy game out there has a player race option. It's not exclusive to WoW. And Anet will not change the gameplay to something similar to WoW, nor will they start demanding monthly fees. They must know that a large portion of the GW community plays because of the balanced gameplay and the non-subscription based game.
I'm also skeptical about this article. And if it is real, it must be more than a basic addon. Otherwise, what has Anet been working on since last April, which was apparently chapter 4 and according to this, it's a tiny addon to tie up the game (or at least that's how I interpreted it). But I don't particularly mind if it is true. As long as Anet keeps updating GW1 with some new content every so often till the new GW2, just to keep us playing, then it'll all be alright. And hopefully that there will be some option to import your characters over, though I'll probably play as a Charr quite a lot. Basically I just want the option to import so that all the time and effort spent on getting titles doesn't go to waste.

I would not be at all surprised if GW2 is under development, and hence is the reason for the lack of the 6-month cycle updates as we are used to.
I would also not be suprised if they added premium content in the form of an endgame/high-level area to attract back the scores of bored PvEers who have beat the storylines a billion times and are slowly moving on to different games.
I am skeptical, however, of the source of this information, especially considering NCSoft's apparent contract to stay mum until PCGamer hits stores. ANet has been exceptionally good about absolute silence up until now. Why has someone suddenly developed loose lips?
Also, the name of the campaign/add-on sounds totally awkward to me. "Eye of the North"? Come on now...

If this story was totaly bogus, she would say so. But if there is SOME truth in it she would not be able to comment at all, for fear of confirming something she is not allowed to confirm yet.
Just an idea. Like I said, PC Gamer will be much more reliable.

Theres currently only really one thing thats stopping me from being sold on GuildWars2.
I NEED to know if you can transfer characters.If we can't i'll simply move to greener pastures.
Chances are so will a majority of other players,PvP and PvE alike.

Everyone, please keep it civil. Of course this is a rumor and unconfirmed. I'm sure we all know that. But it is speculation and a good topic matter. Different playable races, GW 2, name Eye of the North, all great stuff to get the rumor-mills going but we don't need to bash one another or criticize the obvious. Discussion is allowed on rumors.

Shit, I just hoped they would bring up new expansions, don't make a GW 2 >< If GW 2 is a game where we have to make new characters, I will NOT buy it.
Edit: it says:
100% oriented towards games with characters of maximum level.
This means that only lvl20 characters can go over to the new map?

The ONLY chapter ever to come after 6 months was Nightfall. I don't see a cycle there. And surely none that we got used to.

I hope this turns out to be untrue. GW2 coming along is just fine, but years without substantial new content, that just sucks. A great part of GW's charm is that there's always a new expansion coming soon. (In theory 
)

Okay i'll put this big and bold, pretend I'm Gaile Gray:
This is unconfirmed information. None of this is official information from ArenaNet or NCSoft. It will neither be confirmed or denied at this point in time. It's too early. Changes can and will happen. Speculation is cool though as is the free exchange of ideas and opinions.

"I'm very important" has been confirmed, go to the screenshots title thread and ask any of the "People Know Me" title holders to show you the tier status bar
