See here.
I thought from the very beginnign that "holiday season" was an exceptionally bad choice of words.

Arenanet is an American company, and "The Holidays" to us means the period starting at Thanksgiving (fourth thursday in nov.) and extending through Christmas Day. That is our traditional holiday season. Anything else would have been specifically mentioned, I imagine.
We don't have "holidays" as such in summer. Hope this info was somewhat helpful to non-Americans.

I asked Gaile about this last time she was in Kamadan... she said that November/December is what they were thinking of as Holiday 2007. Don't bet on seeing it before Hallowe'en.

Bloody hell. Am I the only Brit that took it as the late summer holidays?
How can a campaign take just over 6 months but an expansion over 12?
[edit] yes i know the campaigns had 2 teams working 12 months ahead for them. So surely that means GW:EN will have had 18 months by release?

Actually I thought June/July as well. Looks like I was wrong.

In North America, a "holiday" is a government-mandated work closing. We call non-official days off a "vacation", which can occur at any time of the year.
The "holiday season" is normally from the end of November through New Year's Day (January 1st).

guys, from the official ANet/NCSoft press releases, its slated for a Q3 release, that means July/August/September...
Maybe Alex Weekes would like to jump in on this one and add a little more clarification on timeframes?

Just speculation, but Halloween would mark one year from the release of Nightfall, and is also sort of the kick-off to the American holiday season.

During the 10 years I managed retail software stores in the US, Holiday releases all came late September early October to make sure they were on the shelves for Christmas etc. It may have changed in the last 5 years but I doubt it
HawkofStorms
As an American, all films/movies/game etc slated for Holiday Season are infact scheduled for release in the forth quarter. However, I agree that it starts a little bit earlier then others have suggested. Christmas crud is already for sale at any Wal-mart and retail chain in the country long before Thanksgiving. I'd say early novemember/late october at the earliest.

at one time it was stated that chapter 4 was on schedule and well in development.
we have no idea when they scrapped chapter 4 and had to make a complete fresh start on GWEN
dargon
Who says they scrapped chapter 4, maybe they just changed it so there's no newbie area and no new classes thus not a standalone but rather an expansion.

you read that right: Campaign 4 is canceled-and so are all future Guild Wars campaigns. Finished,Done, Gone for good. our visit to the offices showed a development team that has redefined its ambitions altogether. new races, new skills, new control scheme, new story, New game. |
read the article and you will see this is not simply cut the newbie area and professions while adding a bit of this and that.
