DiscoverGuildWars.com.....Huh?
themesmeroftime
Searched and didn't find a similar topic.
http://www.discoverguildwars.com/
Apparently, a website about the Guild Wars campaigns was opened. And if I'm not mistaken, it looks like it was made by ArenaNet or NCSoft themselves
It is kind of an odd and random addition. The game has been out for years and this beginner-oriented site is launched by the creators all of a sudden. It boils down to a propaganda site for GW. One of those "Buy Guild Wars, do it for the team!" things. The site is pretty awesome with all the Flash stuff and moving objects - good design. Just thought I'd share what A-net's doing instead of fixing Ursan Blessing...just kidding (but not really).

That is way, way, way too good for a fanmade site. I completely buy that whois.

I like the music! and yeah not fan made imo..
mazey vorstagg
It's not fan made.
I've seen it a long time ago, a least a year. I think it was released when NF came out, as a kinda "show-off" site for new players wanting to find out what it's all about.

if you notice on the bottom of the page it says "NC Soft Europe", this could be a euro site that hasn't gotten much attention due to the fact everyone googles guild wars... /eyepoke
EPO Bot
Thats site once again reminds me of Anets incredible ability to render hotties.
KamikazeChicken
That site should have been linked from their main site, imo.

It has been existing from a long time. But it seems that they are announcing it now. Maybe because they finished all the language translations.

That site has been there a while, and it's owned by the devs. I once emailed Gaile about possibly posting the renders from that site on the Guildwars.com site and she replied telling me she'd try. The devs must've been busy though.

The loading bars are most nostalgic. I remember when the ingame bars use to be similar.

But hey, if I have to make a serious post (!)
Not fan-made, way too much access to IP / copyright material even for a fan-site kit.
Personally I'm not a fan of flash sites anyway, I prefer my info quick and cross browser compatible (the main GW site doesn't work so well in Safari).
I've not seen it before, but then I hadn't been looking. It was nice to see some of the gameplay trailers again.
And no, I don't play as much as I used to. But I still enjoy the game when I do play... not that I actually have to justify myself to you or anyone else.
That enough?

On the main page (after the intro), hover over the GW:EN option and look at the map.
Looks like the aftermath of the flood of Kryta...

Nice music, that's what I'm playing atm while playing Guild Wars. It's amazing how far those Factions and Prophecies Character Selection Screen music takes you back.

I dont like all-flash sites. Though it really looks nice, its bloated and slow.
Also its trying to open pop-ups. Pop-ups must die!
But ill forgive them, only because they put the Factions login screen music in there!
Oh now i imagine myself sitting on a terrace on a mountain, overlooking rice fields, and enjoying a cup of tea with this music...

It's ArenaNet, an old site. I remember it from quite a while back as well.
