Normally, we know what happens this weekend around the Tuesday before it. Yet, on the login announcements, there isn't anything mentioned yet.

Anyone know what will happen this weekend?

Not sure, but it will probably be something related to the 3rd Anniversary. Birthday cupcakes and party time.

I'm hoping for the boardwalk!

Maybe they'll do nothing.

I personally think that would be hilarious. Especially with all the Q_Q that would no doubt follow.

Hehe.

sadly that would be one of the best weekends of all time.

or one that no one but a few people could do.

or jsut randomly give out free booze in varying amounts to people no matter where they are and changing all the guildhalls around every hour for the guild just to make people get confused about where the NPCs are

Whenever they take longer like this, it's usually something big.
The third year birthday celebration is very likely.

We had those threads when Factions came out. Stop it.

We'll most likely have a 3rd year event. Yay for cupcakes; I only have 30 left.

Most likely will be an event for the 3rd year pets. Will probably include some kind of bonus to drunkard.

This should be post #0. I am unsure how to handle it in my metaphysical reality. Clearly ~ Dan ~ is on some kind of precognitive reality lag peyote-users can only dream about.

My personal belief is that A.Net has been /too/ silent, and therefore something must be up (good or bad).

I like how the events turned into a weekly thing even if people are waiting and seeing how to take advantage of the situation.

EDIT: seems like im giving wrong impression, we cool here, events are FTW

Woo raptor killing. I got two gold elemental swords from them today. IF anything is coming this weekend, then looks like I'll be getting a lot more.

Why do people always say a weekend with nothing would be better than whatever (apparently) pathetic weekend is happening?

I just really don't see why.

How does it affect you in any way if you just ignore it/don't care about it/don't play in a style that is affected by it?

Why would you prefer nothing? What is the difference between nothing and you choosing not to participate in whatever there happens to be?

And if the answer involves lag, why should that have anything to do with the normal "pathetic" events, surely it is more likely due to the fact that more people have more time to play at weekends when they don't have to go to work school.

Because people have gotten to pampered with weekend events. Now everybody just demands them.
A year ago, weekend events were not "required" like they are now. It keeps event weekends special.

Wading through the stupidness in this thread for a little reality check...

I'm actually very surprised that nothing has been announced yet. Usually Anet are really on the ball with their announcements. That's not a "OMG I want want want NAO!", just friendly concern.

Most likely Anet have something large in store for us and they've delayed the announcement because of it, surprises ftw!

Only downside to a weekend event is the huge amount of lag i will no doubt experience as more and more people flood Loser's Arch, Scamadan and Kaineng to sell, buy and trade. Or to just shout random racial taunts at people and call people n00bs for the sake of it.

Having typed that i now realise that i've just described the average day in Guild Wars...

One the Tuesday before a normal weekend event, they always announce at/before noon (Pacific).

For special "festival" weekends, they never post anything until Thursday. If there are town decorations, they get deployed with the Thursday build. (In the old days, The Scribe would sometimes leak a little hint or two. Since this was posted during the day, it could give foreshadowing of the upcoming event.)

Since Monday the 28th is the third birthday of Guild Wars' release, and we still haven't received word, this weekend will be the birthday celebration. It will most likely run from Friday at noon (Pacific) to Monday night, 11:59 PM (Pacific).
