It seems they want to make players try GWEN (of course those who haven't bought it yet).

I think it's something to promote the sales for GWEN, which could mean have not been as high as planned.

I guess it's a possibility that they didn't sell so well since they didn't exactly get the best ratings from critics, and there were more than a handful of people whining about it on the forums. And that kind of stuff has a big influence on sales, or at least it can, at times.

Look like they are hitting the spead rumors, and the release Gaile buttons at the same time.

Anyways, the event should hold some interest, if people who already own GW:EN got this special bonus too

All I am expecting is a Demo of EotN for those who don’t have it, and maybe a skill balance. Yes, my imagination is limited, but I rather not think of the possibilities (it’s too horrific).

Dang, that's a model of keyboard design art!

Anything -- anything! -- that references TWoO deserves double truffles from me! "Release Flying Monkeys" is just classic!

(Where's the original keyboard-containing thread? I want to see this work of art in its native form and congratulate the design genius!

)

Oh and Lord Xeshm, that duckroll is last year's model. This year's features 60's style whitewall balloon tires and a glossy black racing stripe.

This thread officially equals win now because of that keyboard.

On-topic, my guess is that the Bison Tourny and Polymock may be made into a sort of PvP. Actually fighting real players in it would make it that much more interesting imo.

Hoping for double faction for all the title tracks in GWEN. *fingers crossed*

I hope it will have the same lockpick probability as the first preview. That means more grapes for all but also more income too.

my .2 cents... zaishen chest for pvp players, locked and requires 1 tournament token to be opened; more buried treasures around eotn for pve players.
hope polymock to become pvp sooner or later tho.

*looks at clock*

We are happy to announce, we are going out of business. Cheers.

I think you are planning on introducing the Zaishen Chest this weekend. How do I know you ask? Well, I read minds. Also, check your PMs my dear, because we are going on 3 weeks here with no reward points....

But seriously, you just like doing this to us don't you Gaile?

Well, I have news for you...

I'm using Feedback on Gaile Gray! Ha, you were enchanted when I did that, so you lose 10 energy and your enchantment, Vow of Silence (which I somehow managed to cast a spell on you while under its effects...w/e I have hax). *Inflicts all conditions on Gaile* "Victory is Mine!"

So gwen is half price from before? Wow it hasn't even been a year since its release. They practically pretend factions doesn't exist since its excluded from most events.

I think GuildWars 2 is definately not a purchase for me. Guildwars 1 was fun while it lasted.

Are you refering to U2's Bono? Or do I just not get the joke?

Anyway, I hope this weekend adds some new items or armor. It won't happen but I can hope, can;t I. Im guessing PvP Polymock and Zaishen chests.

The secret event is that if you bring both Livia and Jora with you into a explorable area then vanquish it. They will both moon you

Any chance of special promotional pricing for GWEN this weekend, like the current 50% off a campaign with purchase of GWEN? That don't help me currently as I already have all the campaigns.

Given anet can't please everyone i'm not going to speculate on what might be different. However ponies and roller ducks are the two items i would most like to see this weekend.

With a free entry for everyone to GW:EN this weekend you surely must'nt buy it. You can finish the storyline in about 8 hours, so plenty of time to try before you buy.

I'm thinking it'll be either something I have no use for or something I could care less about.

<.< ...thinking negative so that if it turns out to be something "eh, ok", I'll be somewhat happy instead of horribly let down.

Hmm everybody can try GW:EN or are they referring to the bmp's

Can't wait...

Well if you would read EXPANSION that would tell you GW:EN

1 question about the rewards
what happens to everyone with GW:EN? Its odd that they are doing this for the game they released at 40$ half completed with no HM. and are now going to release it for 3 days with REWARDS?? Are the people who bought it when it came out going to get the same rewards? and are the rewards going to be able to be kept after the weekend?
