Each hour he isn't found, this gets more exciting.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

He's is the billiard room collecting 3 lead pipings per gift.

Edit:

I scoured the following maps from this list http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Nicho...ing_Locations:

Boreas Seabed
Scoundrel's Rise
Cliffs of Dohjok
Vulture Drifts
Sage Lands
Dieassa Lowlands
Flame Temple Corridor
The Eternal Grove

No signs of him.

This is getting kinda exciting. Usually by lunch time I'm at work and read where the Germans have found him. I can't wait to search myself!

We are also just "normal" players like you .
My guild an i searched all the left over places - without conclusion. I agree with you, that Nicholas could be effected by Winds of Change, so i'm taking a break for a while ...

Not sure but im having a guess that some players are not woc enabled and in theory if it is bugged then they should spot him or woc players shud find him.Wik conflicted with nick but if i recall he only showed to wik chrs - which also proves my theory from above.
What needs to be done is groups of woc and non woc players should try seeking him - and if you do make sure no one ( and i mean no-one ) has done any woc quests as i discovered on a non woc chr and a guildie who was woc enabled - scavengers still spawned in cho`s estate where wik never showed wik foes if a non wik was in team.

I ran through Shenzun Tunnels with no active quests on my pre-WoC ele, no luck.

Any possibility of him showing up in "non-traditional" explorables?

Monastery overlook (yeah, he'd be spotted quickly there)
Benjing Pier (my spelling is off, those docks off Kaineng)
Zaishen Menagerie
Isle of the Nameless
Bokka's Ampitheater
Chahbek Village explorable area

you get the idea....

Not in Jaya... Just checked there. So far, not in Eternal Grove either - well least not in the half I checked.

I'm pretty much sure not. There aren't enough places left for him to be for those to be plausible locations.

What items were left on the collectibles list? I can't check here. If you have a list that will narrow the search area.

I think KIDGOOCH means the remaining collectible items he might be asking, to figure out the areas he might be in (meaning he might revisit an area but asking for a different item). There was a wiki page (in a user's space) with his/her calculation about the odds of each remaining item to be asked by Nicholas, but I can't find it again, maybe someone has the link to it.

If you mean Kanda's trophy predictions and TEF's Item-of-the-Week predictions they are both listed on Nicholas the Traveler page near the bottom just above the Trivia

The problem is that those predictions are based on only the items found in the locations that Nick hasn't visited yet. So if you're thinking he's re-visiting a past location, then those predictions aren't gonna help you much.

Has he ever repeated a past location?

I'm not sure if this list is complete, but when I sorted by location and skimmed it, I didn't see any duplicates:

I'd say a list of places folks have checked is pretty useless unless you personally know the person that did the checking. I could tell you I checked Diessa Lowlands but maybe I just did a quick run thru and never bothered to check that one corner that's hard to get to.....

Anyways, I started a thread on the new beta support forums and asked A-net to confirm that he is indeed ingame someplace. After all we've been looking for this fella for about a year or two now and we've gotten pretty good at finding him within the first few hours. The fact that nobody has been able to spot him yet heavily implies that something is bugged.
