No, you're not.

A logo and promise of new info a game release does not make. DNF has released more than this, and it's still considered vaporware, so...

So pumped, havent been this excited about Guild Wars for so long. Remember how epic the orginal trailor was? I thought that was amazing. Can't wait for this one, just hope it lives up to the game a bit more!

The '2' shaped dragon does make a nice logo (I made this using Paint Shop Pro, this is not an official logo, just an idea of how it might look).

Never mind me. I should just go to bed.
What a kiljoy...

The purdy dragon thing (new logo?) is the most GW2 "info" we've gotten in a long time, so I'm happy with that. :)

Yes, we all know there won't be a beta this week, that GW2 won't be released next month and it would still going to take a lot of time before we all can get our little hands on the GW2 boxes...but oh my!

True, and it just sends a clear message that GW2 IS reality afterall

Now all they need is a sample of some of the music Jeremy Soule is supposed to be doing for the game to go along with the dragon animation.

Just in case anyone else wastes 15 minutes trying to find other functioning pages under the GuildWars2.com domain... according to domaingoat.com there is only one page hosted there.

They better not do anything while I'm sleeping.

EDIT: I also looked at the source code of the page, to see if they slipped any hints in there... sadly not.

Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Guild Wars 2</title>
<style type="text/css">
	body {
		background: #FFF;
	}
	#dragon-holder {
		display: block;
		height: 456px;
		left: 50%;
		margin: -228px 0 0 -190px;
		position: absolute;
		text-align: center;
		top: 50%;
		width: 380px;
	}
	#dragon-holder img {
		border: 0;
		margin: 0;
	}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	var vars = {};
	var params = { 
		allowFullScreen:"false", 
		bgcolor:"#FFFFFF", 
		menu:"false"
	};
	var attributes = {};
	swfobject.embedSWF("dragon-loader.swf", "dragon-holder", "380", "456", "9.0.0", "", vars, params, attributes);
</script>
</head>
<body>
	<div id="dragon-holder">
    	<a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/"><img src="no-flash.jpg" width="380" height="456" alt="" /></a>

    </div>
	
<script type="text/javascript">
	var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
	document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	try {
		var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-3959034-16");
		pageTracker._trackPageview();
	} catch(err) {}
</script>
</body>
</html>
The only not so obvious thing is the image for people without the correct flash player installed:

OFC I'm excited, but what if the info consists of a trailer + some extra info on races etc and then announcing that public beta opens in may 2010 and final version is expected in a year from now?
We might still have to wait many months before we can get out hands on it hehe

People are just hyped up because it's finally something after a long time of nothing. A new logo and a "coming soon" (instead of "it will come") for info, with two game conventions coming up. I think it is hard not to be, even for several vaporware word lovers from the past, you and Theocrat are the only ones I see not happy about information finally coming.

If you are not happy, yet, that's fine. Once the info comes though, only a fool would be unhappy and still visiting GW forums. Either way, don't kill others' joy (hence, killjoy).

If it comes out before Fall 2011, I'm buying it. If not, it's iffy. Hopefully it'll come out before then, though.

So hyped about this, just hope it's just as good and much better than GW1.
Not saying GW1 not good, one of the best games I've played..



Have fun, and waiting for more info

I wish we were given more than a page with a flash picture of a dragon.

(yeah, I'm greedy like that, I want new information, give it to me!)

When do you think the first screenshot will drop?
