Indeed its good to see that there are so many people working on GW.
Lets hope that they are working on something that keeps us busy for a long time to come.
I wouldnt even care to pay for a larger update, as long it's gonna be worth it

Anyone working for arena net not getting paid?
If they are getting paid, they should do their job. period. Not the customers problem if they choose to join Arena Net working on Guild Wars, you sign the deal knowing its a no monthly business model, then you do the job, otherwise quit.
and Fril, if you want to feel like you are at the mercy of Arena Net, go ahead, I don't, I've paid for the productS. and that's that.

Considering that the GW Birthday Celebration is traditionally around the end of April, could they be waiting around that time to release the content update as well?
Red Sonya
I know it won't happen, but, I'd love to see old school in some zone or a new zone again where NO PVE ONLY skills can be used and NO CONSUMABLES. A zone no 55 monk or SF SIN or any combination of two or three players could get through it. It would take a minimum of FOUR players and double bonus to drops and points (for any titles) for taking a group of EIGHT LIVE PLAYERS. They need to bring back GROUPING to this game as it was intended from the beginning. Bring in some new mods and skins too. No Heroes or Henchies allowed either. That'll make em pug again.

Am I the only one who thinks this is weird?
Oooooo Linsey is watching

i think the HoM will just show your ranger's statue for all your characters.

I like that idea with summoning stones. Honestly, right now I think they are pretty worthless for the most part.

Statues will probably only be of the current character... (Otherwise they will need to introduce new armor sets to accommodate for newer character classes at all Prophecies armor crafters...)

I want SF dead.
I want account based sunspear, lightbringer, vanguard, dwarven, norn and asuran titles.
I want storage with a gazillion slots.

I did read somewhere (wiki?) that the build is going out as keys/nerfs/etc in the normal build (my guess next week?), then the b-day stuff, then the larger, storage update at the end of the month.
Would make total sense, tho I will be LOL-ing at the OMG WHERE STORAGE?! knobs after the first monthly build if this happens *g*

2. If it were true, it's not funny A-net....AT ALL
3. If it's true...they failed in getting more people to come back and more people would probably quit if they tried to pull a stunt like that.
Although Linsey has clearly stated that this update is gonna be big and I can't see what benefit it would be for her to lie to us like that. And I'm singling out Linsey because of her saying on her journal that the update "is gonna be big."
You called it Linsey, now let's see the results.
general shaun
i think they will do what they said
eg. account based HOM
storage etc
plus a little extra
hopefully some more quests for the missing hero profession
margonite : paragon
tengu: sin
white mantle/ mursaat: mes
forgotten: rit

a run from Ascalon city to Kaineng is quicker and easier than Ascalon to Droks

Thats exactly how i got my first max lvl armor lol

EDIT: Since my comment seems to be unclear, let me clarify:
The above player is suggesting that the April content update may be a hoax or April Fool's joke that we are playing on you. I replied with a comment that we would not play that kind of joke on you all, and that if this was seriously suggested, I would not recommend that course of action.

if it was going to be a april fools joke it wouldn't have been posted on the offical website.
Achrr The Archer
Quite sure a decent number of people have come back just to see whats going on for April, so drawing more interest back in the game probably already has happened to some extent.

I'm guessing that...
elites like Panic or Shatterstorm will see some changes cause no one can spare the skill bar slot for either of these in PvE or PvP. Panic might become 1 pip of E being transfered to hexer for each foe affected instead of 2 pips lost by each foe affected & will only cost as much as Wither (similar to ether lord), Shatterstorm may also prevent enchants on affected foe for 1 sec for each enchant removed (similar to Well of the Profane) forcing stances, weapon spells, & direct heals to mitigate PvP spikes
elites like Weapon of Quickening &/or Rit Lord will also reduce activation time for binding rituals to make them more viable in PvP & PvE... 5 sec cast while being attacked = LOL
Elites Like Ravenous Gaze will only cost 5E so that it's comparable to Vampiric Spirit
Binding rituals will be affected by fast casting so that mesmers can make as much use of em as rangers with Exp E cost reductions
but who knows... might just be HoM & storage stuff.... meh

just had an after thought about storage space updates....
a new NPC called a "stacker" & new items called "stack of XXX". trade 250 of a collectable/material to the NPC trader & he gives U a "stack of XXX" that is itself stackable. small fee for the service. ONLY applies to mats, party items, sugar, booze, zkeys (stuff that people typcially hoard for marketing purposes) to minimize the number of additional items (stack of XXX) being created.

Would be nice to see some new cape stuff.

What I'd like to see is making gold easier to get. The highest drops from enemies are no more than 300 or so apiece, and that gets divided up amongst the party members. Yet all the high end stuff costs anywhere from 5-15k per piece or per item. And that's not counting the rare crafting materials that often go into those items. One has to farm for ages to be able to afford anything like that. Yet it shouldn't be that way. Item drops are no guarantee because there's no telling what you'll get.
And dye drops should be more frequent. Along with key drops. Not much point in buying a key when the item you get sells for near as much as it cost to get the key in the first place. There's often no net gain. Story discontinuities should be fixed as well, but I doubt that'll happen, even though all it would take is revising the dialogue in places. And the difficulty in normal mode should be scaled back some. It's not hard mode, after all, so it shouldn't be laid out as such. And either remove the survivor title entirely or tweak it so it's not so frustrating to get.
