Well it looks like they changed www.guildwars.com around a lil bit. Well more than just a little, I like it. Website changes are always fun, what do you all think?

Not much of a difference that I can see.

Other than Nika's hair color is off on that pic.

I prefered the other one, just not feeling this one as much. Whatever though, not that big of a deal

On the Cervantes rating scale:

Before -> 30.45/35.00
After -> 30.45/35.00

I see nothing really too different or that much of a big deal to mention.

It's a nice looking design scheme but I was hoping they would change the site that drastically only when they had a big bunch of GW2 information (or even just three pieces of concept art) to change it for. :/

Or even a new headline for that matter. >_>

Not to get anyones hopes up or anything, but first thing I noticed is that Guild Wars 2 is actually listed on the product list where as before it wasn't.

I never seen this art of Nikka (between the necro and the dervish ladies), it's different from the version on Factions' box.

No change on EU GW website.

It was okay before, I think. It's not too much better, but a bit more sleek. I love what they did with "Latest Headlines."

I like it. More organized, and it adheres better to users(top menu is now top left instead of top right and the main nav is now at the top of the page.).

I like the new layout. It is a bit cleaner, and the game update links are more in the open and easier to see. The headlines are also a bit easier on the eyes. The flash stuff has improved also. Overall, better, but nothing huge.

That was update for GW2 info. I am sticking with May 5th as my guess. I am going to win Norn armor for my ranger!

To be honest, I found the old site design a lot easier to navigate around in.

Edit: And when I say old, I mean the really old design.

Such a handy thing.
The newer layouts keep turning out too flashy imo.

I still use the player.guildwars.com site, so I don't really care.

I don't like this change, or the last change. The Rollover menu for news is annoying and now that it's on the right it's even worse. What english reading person reads from the right hand side? You always start from the left.... It's just awkward.

This is the style I preferred, just the regular layout with news all listed. Screw flash. All the website now is marketing and advertising, not news.

Well GW2 now has a page in the products cathegory. I havent seen it there before. I assume that untill some time before its actual release, this will be retty much it in terms of attention a GW2 site will get.
I would say that this could count for out predictions. But lets let Avoc, who initiated it, decide.

Sweet they changed the newsletter subscription in a way that works for me. It's on the GW2 product page.

Guild Wars 2 product page.

It seems as though we will be getting some news about GW2 shortly... I guess this is better than nothing, right?

Maybe they are keeping her up there for some sort of advertising agreement?

odds are they've run out of "new stuff" to advertise, GW:EN is old, the BMP is old....

I like the new look. The only thing that keeps messing with my mind is the look of Nika, since it's different from the box. She looks cool and all, but since I can't create a sin with more meat on her like the one pictured, I can't seem to conform. :P

RSS ftw, saves me from actually going to sites.

Looks ok I suppose. Certainly cleaner than a lot of game sites, not a fan of Flash myself.
