Perhaps is has something to do with the fact that Cantha is an asian themed continent.Perhaps "Lisa" talking about a riceball?But..thats going quite out on a limb.

Bet it's an in office joke stemming from textures failing to load on something they were testing.

My thoughts exactly.

ANet guy: And Cantha is goooo.... NOW!
System: -nerfs itself-
Lisa: ....that's your chapter two? It looks like a rice ball. o_O; I mean, not bad, but...

It’s a blank page that they are working on adding, Cantha hasn't even been added. Nothing strange about it, other then no content has been added and there’s not a hot link to the page.

Placeholder. You can't link to that page from the menu yet.

Isn't it like one sentence of the Guild Wars Lore or something? Like they're still busy writing the story and added once sentence already?

But even if, white ball wtf?

It means they've set up the structure to have a Cantha section later on, but they don't yet have the content for it. Until that content is ready, they need something there to later be replaced. That way, as soon as the content is ready it can be dropped in and the page can go live. Hence the name 'placeholder.'

Something that holds a place untill it makes place for something else ^^

In this case, ANet put down an inside joke untill the real information about Cantha is released, which will probably be the 27th or 28th.

If it's not bad for a white ball, I'm curious what kind of ball this person prefers. I'm also suddenly hungry.

If you noticed from Guildwars.com you can't get there you have to forge the hyperlink with /cantha. Otherwise they weren't planning on anyone seeing it.

White ball...anybody ever watch the old "Prisoner" TV series? ("I'm not a number...Yes you are No. 6...")

Be afraid...
