maybe it's the "lack of an event" weekend. thus making it an event.

Event details are always delayed (on the login screen) when they are planning something that revolves around a real world holiday.

St Patrick's Day, perhaps? Shamrock Ales, Four Leaf Clovers...

For some reason im expecting gw to update tonight, it is thursday, no weekend notification, which makes me wonder if they are planning something different.

I would like to believe the same thing, but alas we are talking about ArenaNet.... I hope to see something new, but not getting my hopes up too high.

St patties day is in the middle of next week. Wasn't sure if they were going to start the event this weekend or mid next week. (four leaf clover drops and shamrock ale). Either way there might be an update tonight + weekend event (pvp weekend)

same i want to beleive the best in ArenaNet.. but they typically show the worst.. we might get a weekend event of " we are working on getting Saint pattrcks day set up weekend". I still think its weird we arent seeing anything( jsut got on and i was about to post a thread here on the weirdness of it, but i gotten beaten to the punch). Maybe they will surprise us but im doubtful.. oh well we can only wait and see( and i hope we see something.. xD)

Pretty sure its going to be St Pats drops, nothing exciting for me, but I need to do stuff around the house anyway.

I was thinking the same thing, but wasn't going to say anything because of how people react to this kind of speculation. (They'll take it for FACT [it's NOT, people], and then QQ if there isn't anything new.)

Linsey has been saying stuff about typing up NPC dialogue all week on her Facebook. She also seems to have worked all night last night, and freaked out this morning when she realized it was Thursday.

There's a chance they're planning something, but I have a feeling that even if they are it wont be done in time (surprise!)

It has been run on the third weekend of March with the duration extended, if necessary, to cover the 17th of March, St. Patrick's Day.

The 17th is next Wednesday, so you could be right

They get my attention, and last Autumn I bought a 3-pack of GW.

They fail to amuse me or fix problems with the game, they shouldn't expect me buying anything from them.

Yes, but this lucky weekend isnt that lucky weekend (unfortunately). This one is just St Pat drops (unless they change it).

Hrm, I myself am noticing what you guys are noticing. It's very noticeable. I wonder if aNet have noticed that we've noticed, or whether they are hoping that no-one else will notice that which it is that we've noticed.

We should get together and give them notice. Where's our green schtoof goys!! I was even gonna dye my armors green for this one!! :P

*Edit: Just checked the official GW Events page. Canthan New Year was announced 8 days prior (4 feb) to the event start announcement (12 Feb) which coincidentally was the last event update made. That was exactly a month ago.

Interesting indeed. No doubt they'll surprise us, I have no doubt it'll run.

Maybe they will, since so many of us would like a Double Lucky Redux to make up for losing that weekend. A double extra lucky weekend! Huzzah!

Then we can agonize over whether to run chests or farm clovers.

Would anyone be surprised if there will be a event and they didn't inform us. It's not the first time it would happen. But we will find out tomorrow. So we'll see.

That's pretty silly considering St. Pat's day is the 17th. They have always run it through (and including the 17th). Maybe they thought it would have been too long this year since the 17th falls on a Wednesday?
