What I find interesting, is that the javascript used on the shining blade and white mantle pages are from www.guildwars2.com, while the pages themselves are located on www.guildwars.com.
In fact, the javascripts weren't even there yesterday.

It looks like it's simply ANet reusing code, more specifically, the wallpaper download code.
If you compare the page elements of:
http://www.guildwars2.com/en/art/wallpapers/ with http://www.guildwars.com/white_mantle/ it's pretty clear that it's the exact same download mechanism for the wallpapers.
Aside from that, while I've spent enough money on elite armors for my characters to have nothing but contempt for the concept of costumes, I've had an undying love for Justiciar Hablion's armor since the prophecies days, however. I would think long and hard if they rolled it out as a costume.

That armour does look pretty sweet. But I still would rather give them my money for extra Hero slots. If they need to make money that would be my best bet.

But my bet's that will be something like the BMP, missions with PVE rewards. Yay, more lore (i hope so)
BenjZee
Hopes for massive war where you choose your side...but doubt it will happen 
Love the art style of the posters, i would like to see a red and blue one in a Obama style too.
Im thinking possible costumes or some sort of hint about the birthday event. I wouldn't really mind new BMP though im sure many people would like free content instead. Maybe its a combination of quests for the birthday or a BMP where you recieve armor peiecs or costumes.

There has been talk of changing the lore, or at least adding to it, and I'm "99.9% sure" that you wouldn't need to change the lore if the content was just costumes.

I want Dismantle wallpapers. Would be a nice change of scenery.

(Unless they somehow put an unpleasant part in with it, as Anet is wont to do.)
Lycan Nibbler
A BMP with costumes as part of the reards for $X.xx would be the best I think as it would add content, create cashflow for anet and you'd feel like you got something for you $ rather than just a costume.
Extra hero slots are off course a win for me also though except Id have to decide which account deserved them :P

Why does the Dismantle picture have MissingNo on it?

I love this armor, it should be in the White Mantle wallpaper.

Guess this is where we'll find out who takes over the fate of the Human race until GW2.

The March 25, 2010 update adds a new explorable instance to Talmark Wilderness.
So my guess is a new quest chain.

I ran the western edge of Twin Serpent Lakes, Tears of the Fallen and Talmark Wilderness and didn't find anything new. If it's Mursaat/Mantle related I'd expect it to be between the Henge and Riverside in the Ullen River area. Get your info from the .dat?

Along with new gvg stuff.

On the Big 1900x1200 Dismantle page there is actual 'writing' saying...
"Face the Truth" - Right below the word 'Dismantle' ...
There is actual hand writing on both the big Wall-papers, but its right about impossible to turn into something that can be read...

The main pictures of the dismantle and obey pages have been changed.
Benderama
maybe it'll be an interactive event, kinda like the way either grenth or dwayna wins during wintersday we can side with either white mantle, or shining blade.
DISMANTLE! (isn't it just a pun or something?)

I hope this means maybe another new area, maybe introduce faction stuff to extend the Krytan storyline...
But I'm not holding my breath. If it is costumes, I will get them anyway, but I would really like to see something more added.
On the other hand, I doubt that A.net would go to all this trouble with the viral campaign unless there was something serious added.

This is intriguing...I hope Anet goes somewhere cool with it and it's not just new costumes or something. Maybe a new elite area having to do with the Shining Blade/White Mantle? And you can get shining blade or mantle armor via crafters there a la FoW? Would be pretty awesome if you ask me.

Ya the images are now updated. War is a comming.

Mantle Armor looks cool, but they are mursaat worshipers.
DISMANTLE!!!
DISMANTLE!!!
recon54
Saul D'Alessio makes his return to Kryta, however, he is no longer human! The Mursaat have transformed him into a supreme being, or a "Super Mursaat" if you want to call him that. His powers come from those that worship him, and the more that worship him the more powerful he becomes. His sole purpose is to force all the unbelievers to worship him, the Mantle, and the Mursaat and to kill those that refuse. Our goal (the players goal that is) is to stop Saul, the Mantle, and the Mursaat from fulfilling their goals in forcing us to worship false gods at all costs.
Of course that's just my theory/take on all this. The actual probability of this happening, most likely 0% chance.

Whatever is to happen, its obviously meant to foreshadow lore in GW2 and more directly, generate PR for GW2. My guess is something along the lines of a new boss and the White Mantle/Shining Blade costumes.
However, I feel compelled to say it again...If you simply released the gameplay mechanics "early next year (2010)," that in itself would get a good amount of PR. So yeah, when can we expect that since obviously it won't be early this year as Martin all but promised? I remember quoting him that we can throw squishy fruit at him or get out the pitchforks for not living up to that too.
EDIT:
Saul won't be comming back, that much I know. And I'm pretty sure its relatively set in stone that the Mursaat themselves won't be back until GW2 since there's really only one left who split his essence. The boss or event will be exclusively White Mantle/Shining Blade. Still, I kinda figured the Menzies addition to FoW would come before anything like this.

It might be a preview to GW2 sort of like how WoW will be reskinned for cataclysm they might change up tyria a little bit but leave most of it the same.

Not only did someone rip the dismantle poster in half, but they also spilled catchup all over it! They are going to be so PISSED!

I honestly don't think this has anything to do with GW2, because the White Mantle get wtfpwned, and the Mursaat don't make another appearance until 250 years from now.
Sooo..
