Thanks for the tip C1.
Why dont they post this stuff in GW guru? Are they going to post GW2 info on the GW3 website?

Yeah it's been annoying me lately how often I'm being referred to gw2guru for stuff happening in GW right now. I'm not interested in following any gw2 stuff at all until there's actual concrete GW2 stuff happening, like a beta.

I think the CM team just doesn't like getting bitched at whenever they poke their heads into GW1Guru :P. So many whiners out there.

guildwars is still up and running, guildwars 2 is still in development, we hope.....
many of the posters on gw2 guru also post here, however, since there is not much new news about gw2 many of those posters stay here ...on the forum for the game that is still currently being played/available.
why the war in kryta was on gw2---hm, not much else to talk about I suppose. However, that does NOT change the fact that what I mentioned about people posting more on one site than the other----is still true.
I still hope to see more involvement of the areanet staff on this site as this game is here NOW, gw2....we still have no date. Its nice to support both, however; I think that more support for what is currently up and running would be better than something that is supposed to happen sometime in the future.
If the staff in question posts MORE on a site for a future game than a current game that leaves some players of the current game wondering about its future.

To also still make any hints towards doubt that GW2 is in development is pretty rediculous as well. (Per this weeks interview the info on the game is going to really start streaming here very shortly - quite possibly during and after this anniversary.) In fact, this whole War in Kryta and Guild Wars Beyond content is FOR GW2. All the additions and content they'll be inserting in GW in the coming months is to provide historical information and a link to events of GW2. It's not coming just for more stuff to do in GW.
I think it's natural for ANet to pay more attention to conversations regarding what they're working on most. I would only assume and expect that balance to increasingly lean toward GW2 in the coming months. It's not 'that far' out anymore - and I think we'll find out just how 'far' pretty soon.

okay, supposedly cupcakes start dropping in 30 minutes. No update anywhere to be found, login screen, guild wars and wiki. nothing at all. Very poorly done for an anniversary event if you ask me.

I guess I didn't realize some people were completely segregating the communities of the guru forums. Seems odd. I was under the impression that we were all one community - with the forums separated only for the purpose of 'cleanliness' - participating in all conversations you're interested in regardless if they concerned GW or GW2.....

There hasn't even been a beta. Therefore, I have zero interest discussing it and don't frequent forums dedicated to it. I'll see it when it arrives.
And while I understand Regina's sentiments about the viral campaign and the discussions springing from that, it doesn't take away from the oddness of having a correction about a login announcement in GW1, concerning GW1, posted in a forum dedicated to GW2.
cosyfiep
I think the last few posters have said it for me, but I will agree with them. Guildwars is a game that is CURRENTLY being played, guildwars 2 still has NO release date--hence it is not playable at this time...
I spend my time on the forum of the game that is active not one that is all about what might happen in the future, which is why I was very frustrated that the staff is spending more time for a game that hasnt been released over a game that is still gathering (albeit a small amount) of revenue right now.
I understand about the discussion about the war in kryta taking more hold on a forum that has nothing else to talk about but not why anet didnt also POST THEIR OWN THREAD here....
it is happening IN GUILDWARS right NOW, not in guildwars 2 which has yet to be...
ah heck whatever, I give up.

No one took the bait and wondered whether it meant anything for the game. Not on Guild Wars Guru, at least. The those threads about the viral campaign on Guild Wars Guru were very scarcely posted in, and no one here followed the near-daily updates and clues. The Guild Wars Guru community simply didn't get into it as much as Guild Wars 2 Guru, nor did the folks here appear to have as much fun with the viral campaign as the folks at Guild Wars 2 Guru seemed to. I'm sorry that this forum didn't catch onto the viral campaign as much as Guild Wars 2 Guru. Viral campaigns start with small clues from the company, but it's driven by the players. We went where the active discussion was happening to provide encouragement. If the discussion wasn't happening here, we went where it was happening. It all started here, but Guild Wars 2 Guru took the ball and ran with it.

Some need more guidance then others. But to neglect those on a forum wich is most connected to the game is never the best solution.

As for the birthday celebration, I guess I'm still excited about new minis... unfortunately around this time I always get that sinking regret that I'll never be the first one to get the new minis
. Darn not starting for 2 years...Oh, and Cupcakes! Oh man. I've got a mostly free weekend and following week... 1,000 Cupcakes and max sweets, here I come!

guru2 is the kinder, nicer more productive guru only because the game isn't out and people are posting from imaginationland. Wait until GW2 releases and this is the site it will become.

If the players looking to the future are there, why shouldn't info and discussion regarding things that relate to the future also occur there? If you care, there's nothing preventing you from joining Guru2. And it takes an extra 30 seconds to check what's going on there.

On the celebration next to an account linked present as stated before with addition of that it is untradable so veterans can show that they are old rots without newcomers buy such status I would more then aything else love to see a whole new mini-game next to dragon arena rolbeetle etc.

One can say people on GW2Guru are only speculating or 'posting from imaginationland', but GWGuru is mostly QQ about this or that over- or underpowered build/profession/skill. Simply because there is nothing else to discuss as (until quite recently) the influx of new content has halted.

- Off-topic is meant for stuff not related to GW, so anything of that nature there is bound to die and get little attention.
- Doesn't show up on the home page of GWGuru as one of the ten most recent created threads. Those threads get lots of attention, and hiding it from that is a great way to get people to not care.
- Guild Wars is a dying game and has a dying community. Guild Wars 2 has a lot of speculation surrounding it and a crowd that thrives on taking the smallest bits of information and blowing them into astronomical ideas. It should be obvious which of the two is going to have a more flourishing response to a viral campaign (not that it shouldn't have been more initially focused here, since this is the game that the update actually applies to).

Seeing what Anet wrote on the official site, I don't think we will see any new revolutionary content. They would brag about it ;>.

I think, while disappointing, we should remember the fifth anniversary is also being run coordinately with the guildwars beyond content. While no new 5th year anniversary content was really added (pets aside) this does not mean that new content related to the mantle and blade war is not forthcoming. I would expect more substantial additions on that front at this point...knock on wood.

I still hope something great will come up before the week ends...it must be like that!!! Or...or...or it's just a canthan new year repetition
And they said they worked a lot, so I hope it's not only minis!

I take back what I said, something interesting just happened.
Just above the vaettirs, I saw an army of snowmen fight an army of grenches.
Now either I missed an update somewhere, or this is new.
