Just some teaser image.

And Mike O' Brien posted this on his wiki.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User_talk:Mike_O%27Brien

Hey all,

Last week I promised you’d get your first glimpse of Guild Wars 2 “very soon now”. That day is almost here.

I want to thank all our fans for their patience as we developed the game to the point where we can start talking about it publically. I know you’ve all been anxiously awaiting this moment. You’ll soon understand how ambitious we’ve been and what we’ve accomplished during these past two years of development. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but from here on out we’ll be able to provide you with more regular updates.

Guild Wars 2 is going to be a huge leap beyond the original. We have the best team in the industry executing at the top of their game, and I’m very proud of what our team has accomplished so far. As I said last week, I’m confident that when you get your first look at what we’ve been working on, you’re going to love what you see. Stay tuned for an exciting week ahead.

--Mike O'Brien 20:31, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit:

Concept art is being added to the facebook page. They seem to be adding pictures daily. : http://www.facebook.com/GuildWars2
Preview of upcoming trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjmcwrF7Fhk

Oh that's interesting. I just tried it a few days ago and got redirected to the original Guild Wars site. Thanks for pointing that out.

You know, I didn't even think that...

GW2's dragon is little different, plus the smoke effect rocks.

EDIT

Holy crap, just read the announcement... can't wait to see the trailer!

For the record, I predict Gamescom will show it first.

Wonderful news (although the vaporware believers won't change their tune), but remember he is still not giving a timeline.

Well, I'm guessing it's just a teaser, kind of like Shiro's symbol was a teaser for Factions (wasn't it? now I cant remember)

Guess we'll find out soon enough...

Good to know they're finally coming out with something resembling information, or at least a prelude to it. Hopefully the news blackout will end soon.

Looks like Mike O. is suggesting to stay tuned to Gamesconn and the NCSoft/ArenaNET stuff going on there. I think it starts on Thursday, the 20th.

I'll simply look at the tangible:

1) Beautiful Dragon logo, very nicely executed indeed;

2) Preparing for an interesting "week". I just wish I listened to Martin and bought this EasyJet plane ticket to Cologne...
