Fingers crossed..
Or if anyone is able to contact him as we speak, to redirect him too this thread would be highly appreciated for the time being.

He's already aware of the existence of this thread, so let's just discuss things like we were, and perhaps, he'll pick something up from here...

ANet's decisions make a lot more sense when you stop recognizing them as a game developer and just look at them as a business.

I think it would just be nice if they actually POSTED here that they still care, at this point that would be (almost) enough for me to think that they still want this game, not for it to disappear. Something more than an automated reply with a bit of actual caring about their first born's 10 year anniversary----
Having said that, ANY of the last updates that they said they were working on prior to that other games release would be nice to see (we KNOW they had gotten into the paragon, ranger and smiter skills before they up and left us dry). Heck even just a post about what actually happened to Evennia and the king would be something (yes, we are that pathetic about wanting closure---this would NOT require ANY thing more than a few written lines on a forum, someone there could do that!).
But all I see the them continuing to ignore our existence or wanting us to go away like a child from a previous marriage.

i doubt GW2 will get a special 10th anniversary either, as this new anet isnt quite as open and caring about both games, the old anet would care about both, i bet
i saw yet another person yesterday from GW2 back into GW
also, people will doubt the new anet cuz they just leave 1 of their still active games, only cuz they made a new one
what if a GW3 would come out? people will doubt that GW2 will live on for long, with active support
new anet, if you really care about your fans and games and your income, better do something with GW slowly, else you'll lose after GW2 dies off

I think the real problem is that most of the employees over at ArenaNet are no longer the original employees that worked on Guild Wars. I know of a few of the original developers that still play this game occasionally and they have confirmed most of the original staff have moved on to new projects. Having heard that, I'm not surprised in the least bit about how neglected Guild Wars is on its 10th anniversary. They don't realize that Guild Wars practically MADE ArenaNet and where it is today, and they shouldn't, because I doubt most of them have never even peeked at this game. That's the problem right there- ignorance is bliss ONLY for the ignorant.

OMG GUYYYYYYSSS
THERE MIGHT BE SOME HOPE
On Wednesday 22, the Guild Wars' 10th Anniversary Celebrations will start! It will run until May 6 and you will find the events of past anniversaries, listed on the linked page, and maybe a little bit more!
Maybe a little bit more ??
Really ?
Am I missing something or can we really expect for something ?

Arkon, I think it was referring to the Hound of Balthazar pet, which can be gained from Ceira, Sworn to Fire, which is shown in the screenshot.

i hope that IF they ever release the elona's new content, that it wont start as soon as you complete elona, but more like WoC, which makes it start when you get the quests..... but also hope we'll be able to get the normal spawns whenever we dont wanna do the content
ps. this is only IF they ever give it to us
and lets hope its not GW2's expansion..... cuz that has nothing to do with GW

Let's think here, GW2 expantion Heart of Thorns takes place in the Magamu jungle, that's a GW1 location. Maybe they want to draw attention to that and release some related content? I remember the week when Diablo 3 was annouced, Diablo 2 climbed top 10 on xfire most played games that month. People do check back old things when reminded of them.
That would be best case. But if they give you guys anything - really anything, a single quest or area - I'd be happy. Being a relative new player I don't need new content, but it would be nice to boost the playerbase.
cosyfiep
well, well, well....so they do read our little forum (knew it already, but hey, would still be nice if they posted HERE--since I am not a twit nor a facebutt).
'a little bit more' yeah, we get an extra week, is what I read into that...but I guess we have to take the scraps our wonderful unique game gets.

It would be a different matter if they ever approached forums with some sort of substance to what they say. They would rather host their own space to give themselves license to parade their perceived moral and design excellence over everyone else though.

from the update notes:
Increased the duration of the Anniversary Celebration to 2 weeks, starting April 22.
(gee hope there is more...)
Made preparations for the Anniversary Celebration.
Updated the models used by the henchmen "Rollo Lowlo" and "Hobba Inaste" in Heroes' Ascent.
Added henchmen usable in Codex Arena.
and I think I would only want the trusted folks who used to post here (Stephane and Gaile, etc) and not the new people....

hehe Sure gets excited the update!
Isnt Regina and Martin still around tho from old folks who used post here? And Stephane was the one who posted on FB?

cosyfiep
your guess is as good as mine...none of the anet folks have posted here since...like 2012. Stephane used to post here a bit and Gaile,-- Regina tried to step into the space that Gaile left but never really did and Martin, cant remember a single post he made...would have to see when he was last even logged in here. But yeah, they would be the folks we used to know. Would love to see a post by Gaile again (new one), even miss the mis-information we used to get
Shayne Hawke
Martin left ANet, it was news a few months ago.

If you would get new explorable area's in the jungle (or a dungeon), would you mind it promotes a GW2 expansion? It would be awesome. Any continuity between GW1 & GW2 is good because it can bring people back, and 10 years later your biggest potential audience is in the sequal community - like it or not.
Prolly not what will happen, I'm just saying that if you will touch any area, the jungle would make most sense.

The Last Days Dawn and Defend Denravi quest Titans, will be replaced with Hekkets, Ophil and Gokir. #thehypeisreal
Ayuhmii Shanbwa
just exploreable versions of proph missions (even if only in the jungle) would be awesome to me, easier to carto, no need for some program only to get a title (they did it right in cantha and elona) and can walk around with normal enemies to sightsee or even farm, for nicholas
thats 1 thing i'd love to see in proph, tbh, so that we can go sightsee/carto and farm for nick.... its a friggin anniversary for proph anyway, cuz it was born (officially) on that day
would be fun to get a new kinda BMP, but then playable with heroes and own skills, to go through time (some GW2 areas, but not in same graphics, must keep the GW1 feeling... and some people keep playing GW1 cuz their computer can handle it, but not GW2... mine cant handle GW2, but i dont like GW2, so its good), and see some stuff you wont see in GW2's storyline, so no spoilers
what 1 person could wish for eh :P
new profs in pre sear (real pre sear, not april fools one) would be fun too
oh well, i guess what we got in the update and the 2 weeks is all we get i guess... i mean, its easy and they have updated it, so no more need to touch GW for them.... until GW2 meets its end, that is, cuz i doubt a GW3 (if ever, hahaha...) would be popular anymore

Its not that I wouldnt mind see the others post, but its like asking say, the president of russia to report on what the city of boston is doing.....the new people, for the most part, have never even played guildwars--only gw2. So asking them to post here ...serves no purpose. So the folks I want to post would be those who have been actively part of our game.
And as for continuity--they are the ones who have been trying to push us under the rug like we never existed, we completely backed them for years and years while their game was being developed and then when it was released too....and for that we got: no more support, the removal of any new content, and the removal of the rest of the staff for this game. So yeah, we are a little bit ...hurt about all of that. (and if you have seen the posts on their forums etc, you would also see that anything negative hinted at about their precious is removed and the posted banned!)
I guess we will just have to wait and see what 'and maybe a little bit more!' actually means (other than the extension of the 'celebration' to 2 weeks, if it does-------)

Haha thats nice cant wait tomorrow. Anyone got idea how many hrs till event begans?

I wish I knew what these items are... wait, guess it's a surprise! As for a little bit more, Cosy, I'd say the next station ArenaNet's update train should stop at is AB (addressing the issue of impossibility to play off the bonus weeks). However, I wouldn't place high expectations of it happening earlier than in 4 months, as it was basically the time it took for them to internally test and update Codex Arena properly.
Ayuhmii Shanbwa
maybe everlasting summoning stones (mysterious anyone?.... or hound of balthazar summon?)
who knows, its not gonna be useful i guess (although i hope unlimited uses like summoning stones, or something else you can use for something useful)
and how many can you get per account?

if I KNEW they were actually going to do the update, then 4 months is acceptable (since that was about the time it usually took them to do real updates in the past anyways
).hound token...hope not, all you have to do to get the pet is talk to an npc, easy enough (now if its a roller beetle token---THAT would be nicer as I have been working on that one for a while--me no pvp hard to get bath faction).
but whatever...it looks like we have something to really look forward to (not opening that same mini burning titan for the 3 straight year would be nice too).
(oh and about 23 hours to wait...if its noon pacific time it starts)

Seeing that a little extra will be done for the anniversary, perhaps it might be a good idea to make the title a little less insulting?

There's been a lot of teasing on their facebook/twitter on what's to come, but I don't really know what to expect? I'm hoping it's something good? Or has the update even hit and I don't even know? I don't even farm sweets so I barely even notice when there's an in game event.

My guess is some new quests in embark beach from the guys in first image, giving reward some tokens (Second image) that can be traded for... someting ;D
Mouse at Large
Too late I fear, but it might have been nice to allow unused skill points to be spent on something special.
This would directly reward the oldest/most active players
