Well, circa 4 months ago, Gaile said that 2008 will have lots of exciting GW2 news.

Quote:
We have a lot of exciting plans for Guild Wars 2 in 2008. A lot.

For one thing, you can look for a newly-designed website in the coming year. We're going to launch what will be pretty much a totally new site, while keeping the existing site going, as well.

For another, we'll be showing off Guild Wars 2 in concept art, in-game cinematics, screenshots, wallpapers, and much more. There will be so much to learn about Guild Wars 2, and we can't wait to show it to you!

We'll have a lot of Guild Wars 2 contests, too!

And of course you know we plan the Guild Wars 2 beta test in 2008.

So this is definitely an exciting year coming up!
http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forum...46#post5222146

My question is, "when?".

So, I decided to run a little competition. Since I do not have much gold, the prize won't be the biggest, but I guess its better then nothing.

Whoever predicts when the new GW2 site will launch, will win one set of GWEN armor of their choice.
This means they will get the materials to craft the set. These sets include The Norn armor, the Vanguard armor and the Asuran armor. Since the dwarven armor smith only makes single pieces, you will be able to get those aswell, but not the extreamly expensive ones.

So, whoever gets to the closest date of GW2 site release, wins

Good luck to all.

P.S. I am aware that there is a guildwars2.com, and I am aware that there is a wiki.guildwars2.com, but, hopefully, you should understand that the meaning of this competition is to guess when the new re-designed site, with new GW2 info that Gaile promised, is going to be released.

May 22nd, just a random guess

I would go with August, but its ONLY the site we're talking about right? Technically, they could have the site up today and have nothing about GW2 on it at all lol

and yeah, i really would like to know what they're drawing off of for their design of the profs/skills in gw2, at least let us know if its going to be worth looking forward to.

They can't release too much information because they haven't done it yet.
They can't say the game will have "so many classes/skills/armors/etc" yet because if they do and the final game doesn't, people will bitch. They are still far too early in development to release the specific type of details that everybody wants.

I just want some concept art, perhaps a date for when we can expect the GW2 beta to launch as an added bonus.

L33tNemisis, if 2 people chose the same date, I'll just add their names in a hat and pick one that way.

Anet wont say anything yet because they are trying to build up some anticipation. If everyone is blogging on forums asking when GW2 is coming out then they know that their methods of passive advertising is working. Everyone knows that the BETA is coming out the 3/4 quarter of 2008 so you know there will be screenshots posted all over the internet by then even if anet attempts to restrict it. Don't get your hopes by thinking that you will be included in the beta because the chances are that they will only pick about a thousand people. 5000000/1000=50000 You only have like a one in 50000 chance of getting picked. Don't worry some screens will get leaked by then.
