Some new screenshots as well. I don't see any new info after skimming the two pages though.

Looks like some kind of a crossing between Titans and Charr.

So...you can transfer certain items from Guild Wars to Guild Wars 2. I wonder which items you will be able to transfer.

fist-fighting with brass knuckles? Must be the hand to hand combat arena that was mentioned in one of the recent articles...

...and is that some new warrior armor (the one on the right)

I REALLY hope we get told ahead of GWEN's release about what can be transfered, so we can work on it.

I bet all armors are going to be 15k. Since you're already lv20, they are (technically) above ascended armor.

That warrior armor kinda looks like 1.5k kurzick and 15k kurzick, without the chest plate.....except more furry

One of the major elements of Guild Wars 2 is a competitive dynamic between the playable races and an as-yet unnamed menace.

Are we going to have something similar Alliance and Horde in GW2?

Sometime in the 3rd quarter of this year, which starts on Sunday, July 1st through September 30th. Some game stores are speculating that it will be available on or around August 31st, but that date has not been confirmed by ANet.

The official wiki on the Guildwars site says that we should be getting official launch details soon.

they've said the third quarter of 2007, which, in Anet terms, probably means September 30th

Exactly. And maybe they will release the details in 1 month!

I don't believe "bring them over" (as quoted in the article) implies that you can actually use these items in GW2. Keep in mind that this is a third party quote, and is likely a mis-quote, or at least a misinterpretation of the placement of items in the Hall of Monuments. Items will not be directly transferrable between the two games.

As said before, no new info, but a few new screens.

I'm really hoping that Anet's going to say when the release date is soon...the anticipation is killing me.
------
Lets look at some of the new pictures eh? Some of them are more detailed than before.

I'm guessing this is a Norn village or town, now THAT looks cool!
http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/89...g_4653000.html

And here we have what appears to be Elementalist armor, but I've never seen that hairstyle before...so who knows.
http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/89...g_4652999.html

Cool...dungeon, that looks again very interesting.
http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/89...g_4652992.html

Looks like a cool forested cave, perhaps for the Asura?
http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/89...g_4652995.html

Now this is an interesting picture. From first glance I simply thought they were Charr, but they appear to be like Gargoyle's or something. Perhaps a Gaygoyle army, or will we seem them in GW:EN as the enemy?
http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/89...g_4653048.html
------

All of this looks very interesting, I can't wait to see what it turns out to really look like.

Although I am a bit sad...I enjoyed Pre-searing ascalon alot and I was hoping this would be incorporated in GW:EN. Please....I want to see some happy stuff!

The mind boggles. New hairstyle options?!? I dare to dream.

On closer inspection, I'm thinking Undead ______. They're wearing heavy armor, so I don't think they are Gargoyles or Harpies.

Agreed, but from what I've read, it sounds like the Charr areas will have a pre-searing look to them, at least! Maybe in Guild Wars 2, Ascalon will be rebuilt to it's former glory...

I'm pretty sure you can only transfer achievements, like titles in the form of statues or decorations for your hall of monuments.

I'd highly doubt and haven't heard anything to suggest that you will be able to transfer anything "useful", like gear or cash.

The one of the right would appear to be new Warrior armour?

It could just be another Norn fighting, but the one right is wearing slightly different armour, and it could well be the player character in one of those Dwarven boxing matches. It would make sense if there was some Norn style armour you could buy, and it does look rather cool. Assuming there's a chest piece to go with it.

"high-level army sets" ?

Im going to assume that means armour.

The elementalist pic is pretty interesting. I'd love to assume that this means some kind of hair stylist, plus new hairstyles, but more likely that's one of the new heroes.

But if the developers are reading this, then yes, please do add in a character edit system. Everyone wants it, and it's been requested for years.

I just hope the environmental effects in dungeons that were mentioned aren't lame like the RoT and DoA ones where. But using the environment to fight your enemies, the part where they mentioned dropping part of the roof on a boss, will be fun to play around with.
