Pax 2009
karen the healer
I will be attending PAX in Seattle again this year. I know last year Areanet was present at the NcSoft booth and had alot of activities throughout the 3 days. A party for guild wars players that Saturday night with awesome prizes given away by Regina. They had a panel also if I remember right called Three years of Guild Wars, that was great also. I looked on Guild Wars website under trade shows and did not see any mention of what they have planned this year. I have not been on this site in along time and have not kept up with all the latest information. Has there been any news on what they have planned at PAX 2009? Thanks for your time.

PAX is sweet.

We're all anticipating a GW2 trailer and/or other information. Let us in on what goes down!

Until someone officially anounces Guild Wars 2 trailers, news or whatever at PAX then I'm expecting nothing to happen except Aion news.

They have said they will be at PAX, but have not said they will be doing anything GW2ish. Most likely, just promoting Aion.

Before I was thinking that they would give the "big splash" at PAX. But now, I'm actually thinking at PAX will just be information on the three books (not that book information is bad, especially since I'm a lore lover). I think the GW2 info will be more around the holidays. Maybe around Halloween. *shrug*

book information doesn't count, they announced those last pax. not that anyone remembers.

I was planning on going but I opted to actually come now (I'm at Izzy's house right now!) as University starts around PAX time, but I have good news people, ex-Treacherous Empire GvG tournament player and ex-Calvin Klein male model Alex "Kar" M. will be there!
He's kinda pissed I'm not going now because he thought I was EHEHEEHE.
And yes he was actually a professional male model:

Regina said on her talk page on the wiki that there will be a special surprise for us at PAX this year. there is only a handful of things that it could mean.

I am actually looking forward to what may come out of Gamescom next week. There was a supposed trailer submission by NCSOFT titled Guild Wars

I did also the mention of a trailer next week at ... Gamescom? Not holding my breath for that, however!

. But we will see what happens in the near future, I think something is happening though because the wording on when info will be released has changed from "later this year" to "very soon" this wording change is no accident.

I was disappointed when i saw how late PAX was this year. Sept 4-6th? last year it was at the end of August.
Anyway, if anyone is debating going or not, PAX is awesome if only for the people you get to meet.

gamescom takes place at the end of august and, i guess, people at anet aren't able to attend to both conventions at the same time.

But, and I'm just asking out of genuine curiousity here, having never been to a games convention (I is poor
), wouldn't ANet have their own stand that's separate from NCsoft's? I mean, even if it was, figuratively speaking, a canteen desk with a paper tablecloth, they'd be able to showcase their own things that way. From what I've picked up here, most people still consider ANet to have at least a smidgen of independence.

I think heavy small stones are better if you are accurate.
Giga_Gaia
So many threads, so much speculation. I think it's safe to say that everyone will be keeping a close eye on these conventions to see whether Anet will wake up from their (almost) 3 year long hibernation to actually show something. I personally won't be expecting too much but hey, you never know.

I thougth there was no GW2 news at PAX, now things are turning the other way in saying there will be some surprises at PAX, hinting at GW2 news.
I is confused.

Meh, I'm not complaining, if they can actually deliver.

There is a good way to handle "very soon":
Buy some cake for Gamescom/PAX.
If "very soon" turns out to be "very soon", there will be cake for them.
If "very soon" turns out to be "not until this time next year" you can save the effort to collect the stones. ;P
Nah, honestly, until that USK Trailer review leaked, I was expecting to hear nothing until late 2010 early 2011 at best.
Now I am kinda expecting some Conceptart Collection Trailer or a CG Trailer maybe, but nothing related to Ingame Graphic or the like. (Unless beta and release were really close (2010) or the graphics alpha crappy.)
