I have some screenshots of what i observed:
Seriously...has it always been that high and i just never noticed, or do you think it could be rising?
The following is a shot of the things skin! Look how detailed it is...
Am I going mad?

So, i was doing some farming on the good old Drakkar Lake the other day and i swear to god it seemed to me that dragon/drakkar thing that is under the surface was closer to the surface than it has previously been...

Why'd you have to wake it up? Now all hell is going to break loose. Thanks a LOT.

1) It's a dragon, called ''Drakkar'' though that's not official yet, I think.
2) I did notice it seemed to be higher since 1 or 2 updates ago o_O..

Its one of the great dragons that are stronger than Glint I think. One of those dragons is gonna be featured in GW2, someone told meh 
.
fenix
Not ONE dragon, several. I imagine if it is moving, it's Anet trying to create more hype for something that will be pathetic. (Destroyers, anyone?)

He didn't ask what is it, he asked if anyone noticed if it got any closer to the ice. Imo it IS really weird, as I saw a lot of pictures and tried to see him myself, I could barely see him!

Nice to know some other people have been noticing it too. I remember when I first got GWEN i tried for ages to see the details of the drakkar-y guy but simply couldn't, and now it's clear as day!btw, he's a she.

Anyways, try to watch the other dragon in the charr area, maybe something weird in that one too.

You are not going crazy, or we both are...
That definately looks closer than before, maybe someone thought it should be higher so you could see more of the detail, I doubt they are steadily raising it.
EDIT: well in that case YES we are going crazy, oh dear...

Hmm, in light of the above post perhaps GW is going through some graphics overhauls that I simply haven't known about. If graphics have been improved it would explain why i have so much more detail and thus it seems higher...
i still think it's slightly higher though as it's hard to see the top of the ice with the unsupported graphics card, but I could just be stubborn now.

u've watched cloverfield one too many times 0__o

I could barely see it the last time I was there (during the pre-launch weekend event). Heh.. I wouldn't be surprised if I was mad though..
Konig Des Todes
It does seem closer to me, my thought, they are trying to make it more like the concept art of the dragon *part of it is sticking out of the ice*.
They could also be trying to create more hype for the Dragons like Fenix said *but I disagree with the dragons going to be pathetic*.

Looks quite a bit closer to me.
...And I have to ask, is your Necromancer's name a reference to the movie Labyrinth? Because that movie kicks ass.

Add me to the crazy list because that seems much closer to me as well...
Also I just put this in lore but I'll toss it here too.
Has anyone else noticed the bone dragon looking thing in the ice in the end game area of Prophesies?
There's ice all around that area and my husband noticed a HUGE form in the ice. There are big skeletons everywhere in Proph, but this is by FAR larger. While it is skeletal, it is much more reminiscent of the Drakkar dragon.
You can see the bones in the upper right, but they extend down past the "bottom" of the pic. It even seems to wrap around to the other side of the ice. Bone Dragon? Size of Rotscale's great great grampy"

Widowmaker
Sign me up for the "a lot clearer at least" crowd. (Though I suspect it is the ice effect being reduced than "Drakkar" on the move) :P
I tried to show a friend the dragon a month or so back and you could hardly see her.
*Goes off to Drakkar to take another look*
However, if she is on the move and all the known dragons are going to start shifting as they start to awake, it will be a very nice touch. Seriously doubt it though.

ooh so thats drakkar?
I've always thought that was the tiny-tailed-pony-turtle whose name is Bob.
would be cool if it follows up in gw2.

It obviously has nothing to do exactly with the dragon rising to the surface, but rather the surface moving closer to the dragon. Al Gore told me it's due to Global Warming.
Neo Nugget
watch, next update there will be a giant hole in the ice and they will go *missing*. :P
But those dragons are really really big :O

Well damn. This means that Tyria needs more pirates to reverse global warming!
Really, Drakker is closer to the surface? I may head out there to take a look at the old guy.

There are no changes to the dragon in the ice. Your imaginations are running wild in the absence of any GW2 info.

Have you noticed also the Bone Dragon on Pre Searing Ascalon? It is on the Catacombs part.

Wow Drakkar sure looks a lote closer or atleast clearer through the ice now compared to what he/she used to be. Perhaps Anet are just tweaking things here and there to promote GW2. I suggest everyone keep their eyes out, try and spot anything different.

Pics taken in January:
The thing has always been close to the surface, okay? Less random speculation plz.
[edit]Bloody hell...I'll fix it later.

Yeah, I saw it coming. Armageddon.
Eve caused Adam to eat from the fruit, and mankind was expelled from paradise.
Now Fae Orchid stomps over a lake and the end of days gets closer.

wasn't there an update a few months back that they changed the ice texture to make Drakkar more visible?
i do agree though, he does look to be rising....
it'd be awesome to one day go to Drakkar lake and have those earth tremors like the ones you get doing the "to eye of the north" quests xD

It does look a bit closer, simply based on how hard it was to see a few months ago when last I looked.
Who knows, Dragonfest is just around the corner!

I just went to Drakkar, he does seem higher, the highest point of him *the back* was only about a foot or so away from my sin! O.o got a pic of it.

Sir Pandra Pierva
do we see the countdown till 2 starting is my question?
they will have em break out of the ice and start killing people in towns to start the beta of GW2?
i think that would be friggen awsome
