Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious! I've knocked my socks off I'm so excited! The best game to date ever, IMO! What makes it even better is that they kept their release date as promised! So many games just can't handle the pressure... but for their first, NCSoft and Anet sure pulled the rabbit outta the hat!
I wish I didn't have to work Fri. - Mon. this coming weekend (and take a Border Patrol test on Monday as well... *exhausted*) but at least I will be there for the first 3 days (Wed. - Fri.) and then I'll be on whenever work doesn't get in my way!
Congrats NCSoft and Anet! Speaking for all of us... we're all looking forward to the ENTIRE game and the parties ahead!

Thanks for posting that adam.skinner. 6 months of BWEs and here it is. Gratz to the staff at Arena.net for succeding in their effort to keep to the schedule. It's nice to see a company appreciate their market momentum.
We all need to thank the Alpha and Beta, testers which includes most if not all the admins and contributors to GWG, as well as thank each other for playing in the BWE's, making bug reports, posting our suggestions and ideas, etc.
Together we expedited what we all know would have taken another...ahem name not to mention software company twice as long to produce, with 5 times more bugs, and no one to talk to about it. And we'd be paying a monthly fee while they finish the game for another year!
Thank you so much Arena.net for taking integrity seriously.

Stevie Wonder can see that GW will be a winner , I got to play it on Noob weekend (I was the Noob) It was out of site. Can't wait till the release date ,well I guess I have to wait, but hurry up the 28th or is it the 27th. perhaps its the 26th. Just wishful thinking.
I think GW has a 1 on it. While all the others have a 3 or more.

huh, i think that guy's wording is kinda odd. he makes it sound like any update/patches are going to be fee based. Wonder if anyone can correct him, or at least make him word it better.

Great work Arena.net, can't wait to get addicted to a great game.
Love the graphics, the gameplay, the customization, and the fact that it's free to play.

I thought you meant it went gold as in the number of sales. You know how after a certain number it goes platinum then if it continues and hits a certain higher number, it goes gold?
Synthos
It says allot to constomers that Areanet is keeping its word. It means that this would apply to Areanets other promises as well.
Its a great day indeed.

although, you realize they are probably still working as hard as ever. the CD doesn't have much on it... maybe the client and some other stuff.

But that little CD, Or at least the key on the CD, means countless hours of fun.

*discrete cough* May I suggest a group hug?
I just sent the illustrious leaders here news of a wee bonus for fansites only, so you may find tasty visuals to sweeten your day tomorrow.

And what was so discrete about that? You might as well have yelled it through a megaphone in the middle of town square for all the people that are now nervously waiting for these goodies!

Yeah, I was a noob at this recent BWE also....omg I loved it so much, I went out and bought it Monday morning.
Then, I came home yesterday and when I saw the GOLD announcement, I flipped out, started my client, and was astonished to see that I could log on...it asked for my cdkey (because I was using a "LET A FRIEND IN" pass last BWE) and I started dancing and entered it, and then the game said, "ok you are registered come back at next event lol" and I started crying...a lot.
I am going to stare at my Guild Wars icon for the next four days. Screw the girlfriend.

I wonder if you can have pink hair still. When I first played it at E3, I tried to have my char have red hair, but it turned out pink. Eventually it became a defining symbol and I grew to like it. Then at the WPE in October, I signed on and the hair was a disappointing brown.

Great news.... but I dont think it's really "gold" = they will work until it goes live to tweak and balance and improve and .... (implement the whole suggestion thread *hehe*) thanks to streaming technology. "We" beta testers, will test this changes for 1 day (I bet it's gonna be a busy day for ArenaNet) until the rest of the world joins us (and we have to start from zero...... not really, because we know what to do...)
Can't wait for GW be more than a weekend pleasure!

I need real proof though!
How can you be sure its gold unless it comes from the officail site, or a dev.

Well, besides Gaile Gray posting in this thread to confirm, they released the information at the official site.

Guild Was is in duplication and is set for release on April 28th.
There, official enough?

Nope. I think you need a giant seal of approval and a fancier rainbow-colored name for it to be official. You may also need a chorus to sing a ethereal sounding chord just to make it even better.

Ohhh! Theres a first page I missed "Insert embarrased smiley"

"ArenaNet announced today that Guild Wars is complete and has entered manufacturing -- effectively, the game has "gone gold," -- and will ship out on April 28."
It will have arrived by then? or will be shipped out by then? Kentucky is a long ways from California...
