I hope it is:

1.Zaishen Chest Revealed.
2.Double the drops from the Dungeon Chest.
3.Double the points for the asura/norn/charr/dwarven points.

I think it's gonna be:

[sarcasm]Double xp for every elite skill capped in gwen[/sarcasm]

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?
This is just a guess but I suspect they will kill two birds with one stone and, for this one weekend, will let you turn in completed dungeon master guides and GWEN quest books for BMP reward weapons - that way they get advertising for both. We know it's not DaW, I can't imagine them designing brand new weapons just for a promotional weekend, especially just before the holidays, and I doubt that extra xp or even extra rep points would count as exceptional since they have done those in the past. Only thing I can think of they could do that would count as exceptional without a lot of extra work would be some kind of access to the BMP weapons - available in the zaishen chest also maybe.

I just hope it's not another minipet - got more than 20 of those already.

I doubt they would do that. Gaile has already said the BMP will not be given out for free, and the Weapons are half of the BMP.

Could be anything: More gold drops, more key drops, more Title points, a combination of different stuff...

I want a new mini pet. But I don't want a rubber ducky. I want a mini Gaile Gray!!!!!!!!! I mean, come on! How many people are so widely known, and can use their own initials to end a game with? GG

Sylvari anyone?

I am guessing they are doing a Free Access for those who don't have GW:EN as an incentive for them to try it out and hopefully they will buy GW:EN after the weekend is over. For those who have GW:EN, most likely a double faction point weekend.

I hope there is more to it than this. Guess we will find out soon.

Double everything in GWEN.

Yup, that's gotta be it.

All drops, all rep points, all xp, all gold, all DP... yup.

I think it might be the introduction of new "free treasures" in GW:EN.

Shouldn't that be Bono on a white donkey? Bad joke, I know.

Here's my guess:

In response to the merger between Activision and Blizzard, EA and NCSoft announce their merger with the release of Madden Wars (tm). Starting this weekend, Guild Wars players will be able to compete in a new 11 v 11 format for the chance to play in the Deldrimor Bowl after New Year's.

I hate it when they give away free stuff which I payed for, even if it is a weekend... in a weekend they could complete GW:EN. Alas, what can I do about it? I hope that these exclusive rewards are cool though, and hopefully not something gimp.

I know, Anet hinted a while back that they were seriously concidering a "HUB" town. I bet they're adding it. oh and I hope, HOPE they add in a Weapon MOD Trader. I was so very happy when they added the Rune Trader and that was a long time ago. GIVE ME MY MOD TRADER, PLZ! I have a PvP mule full of max mods that I can't stand to spend the time to sell.. . .

From what it sounds like, ArenaNet will be allowing free access to GW:EN for those who haven't purchased it, with special items for those who both have hand haven't.

Well, if I get bored of Mass Effect, I might try it.

I don't see a reason why it would be beyond the Norn area, like the peorder event.

I also heard it lasts about 13 hours? Whats that about?

Maybe I heard it all wrong, but I won't be playing it until it hits the PC anyway.

Wonder if anyone will chose not to buy, but to acquire special end gloves. I'm asssuming you can still join people who are doing the quest that leads to chambers.

Ranking is a database of all reviews thou, they dont make the reviews themself they just put them as a group thats why its the best source.

I've been told 50 hours is the least time youll be playing this for if you do the whole of the main story, doubt thats side quests. 13 hours is way off.

The 13 hours to beat Mass Effect is like the people who beat Nightfall in 6 hours. Yeah... you can do it. But... you don't even really do anything but the bear minium. Keep in mind somebody beat Baldur's Gate II in 30 miniutes (there is a video on Youtube).

Anyway, on topic. Looks like the update was today and... you can now enter GW:EN as a level 10.
Kinda.... underwhelming. I mean, was this a big complaint before?
