Anyone here watch the John Stumme interview with DeBussy after the 7 hero/embark updates? "We're also planning something really big for April but I can't say anything else about it other than that it will be huge." I highly doubt this has ANYTHING to do with the anniversary, and I also doubt it has anything to do with WoC. There isn't much time left in April so this is it. It is most likely some content that has not been mentioned previously so guessing is pointless, I think it will most likely be something released at the time of the anniversary but have nothing to do with it.
Of course, guessing is always fun :P I think it may be something to do with either NF between GW1 and GW2 or possible somehow show the Foefire. (In the interview mentioned above, they talked about the Foefire a lot but John had said "although we would love to show the Foefire and it is a very important event, everybody there dies. We would need to find some way to time travel or something then somehow be immune to the event. Possibly April Fools was to test how players would react to this, and they are now planning to do it to show the event?)

I wouldn't mind if it's tonics. Would save me the effort to hunt down another 14 minipets to put in my HoM.

What if there's 14 tonics?!

I take it these will be EL Tonics?

There's 30+ apparently. So that's even worse for an OCD gotta-catch-'m-all gamer....

Needless to say this all would require a ton of new art resources the Live Team might not be able to produce at this time. It would be awesome if they could do this though.

Maybe everyone gets a 6th year mini like usual. The added bonus is everyone also gets a everlasting summoning stone that is representation of your character

I'm not sure of the verosity of the quote from guild wars but the list of features look promising.
check it out: http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=142131 all characters will recieve a tonic! |

Massively has joined in the party too! We'll be bringing you even more news on the celebration events, an exclusive interview with two members of the Live Team, a chance to win some Guild Wars prizes, and maybe even a few more surprises! You'll want to keep a very close eye on the site, our Twitter feed, our Facebook page, and our forums so you don't miss anything! |

Man, I hope there are new minis too...
Centaur
Looks like the 50% off sale has started... right now it's 50% off on wedding costumes... how suitable for the English
[Edit] the post at Massively has been updated with more info:
So definitely no new minis this year
But:
Now that's a useful hero to have in your party!

Characters celebrating their sixth birthday this year will find a surprise in their inventory, with the biggest surprise being what the gift is not: a minipet. That's right -- instead of sixth year miniatures, ArenaNet has introduced a series of over 30 different everlasting tonics. |

Finally, we move on to our faithful Guild Wars heroes -- or one of them, anyway. There is an interesting bit of trivia in the Wiki regarding our Ritualist hero Razah: "Razah's profession is listed as 'variable' in the Nightfall manual. This was printed before the final design was decided upon." Well, that's not quite the case. As John Stumme elaborates in our interview below, Razah was originally intended to be a wild card hero with a changeable primary profession. This anniversary update finally brings poor Razah the ability to live up to his potential, and you can now change his profession. Simply head out into the Heart of Abaddon (without Razah in your party), find Razah, and tell him what profession you'd like him to be. Congratulations, Razah! |

Not really bummed about the minis - John is right in that there are already a ton out there. I would much rather them make collecting all the minis a bit easier than introduce a whole new slew of them.
Glad they finally have the tech to upgrade Razah, though I doubt I'll use him for anything else but a Rit anyway. There's too many heroes now that don't really see the light of day, so whether I can change Razah or not isn't that big of a deal. I would much rather see an update to the MH's that allow them to come pre-customized with the weapon, off-hand, and runes/insignias of the parent character (non-salvagable/tradable of course).
Otherwise, super-sales in the store will be cool, I can load up some of my mule accounts with extras. I just hope they add more stuff to it eventually, like weapon skins or the original pre-order items with updated stats.

Anyway, maybe this thread should be closed, since there will be no 6th year minis...?

I got Hayda
Sharp Blade
EL Goren here.
/edit: immediately sold it for 56e.
This is a lot of cash for me since I recently re-started playing after a 4 year break and I feel like they'll drop in popularity rather quickly, especially those rather unspectacular ones like Goren.

Fits well within my theory that most GW players are self-obsessed OCD types with a Napoleon complex.
