Puuuleeeaze!
I think this is a classic case of people WANTING to believe. I know I want to believe it, as sceptical as I am in light of current evidence.

Someone claims to have found something in the UW and obviously thought it important enough to make a post about it, yet not important enough to hit Prt Sc and take a simple screenshot for proof. This someone can't remember where it was even though every area of the UW is clearly defined as in the labyrinth, chaos planes, forgotten vale, spawning pools, frozen wastes, bone pits, and the serpent mountains. This someone also cannot remember what monsters were nearby even though certain mobs are relatively confined to certain areas. So, this someone basically forgot everything that would prove his findings right and only remembered that "I saw it". Welcome to the new Cow level!

Oh come on, give the OP a break.

We all should be anxious to see the outcome instead of bash him out of beligerant doubt.

I say keep on trucking

It's not worth taking a screen shot, but it is worth making a post about in the forums. How odd...

I'm giving the OP the benefit of the doubt.

I'd like to believe this just as much as everyone else but lots of people have explored the UW for vasts amount of time, how can it be that only about 2 people have said anything about her,

But if it is true, ohhh the posibilites...

at the beginning of underworld, a woman yells for Gwen and from the way she talks, i think she's Gwen's mother. and they got seperated. i think anyone who have been in UW a few can notice her.

I can back this story up. You may not believe it however, because I have very little, well none actually, evidence to back it up. One of my guildmates has mentioned it before to me, when I asked what her flute and tapestry shread were for. He said that they were for a quest in the underworld. Now I'm not certain that it is indeed gwen down there, but I am positive that it is for a quest down there. They have never led me astray before.

When the rumor about the UW crafter was going around I, too, had people I trusted tell me its true. I knew it to be false, but people will believe in strange things when a rumor gets around enough. And the rumor of gwens items being used in the UW has been going around for quite a long time yet no quest has ever been recorded.

I say what the hell. It's odd that someone (paraphrasing) "would have taken a cap of the map if it was possible," but not screencap Gwen. But if it's an excuse to get fluently familiar folk to party together for XP questing, count me in. It's going to take a little more information (what does she look like now, what kind of surroundings and which route to get there, what beasties spawn there, etc.) to get me all that excited.

You're right, it's wishful thinking, but it seems to have been the designers' intention to have some post-searing connection with Gwen. Maybe here, maybe later, it's worth an evening.

I think its possible
Would like to give him the benefit of doubt unless proven otherwise
Been in pre-searing lots of time but for the first time the other day I run into Gwens mum Sarah talked to her but each I have gone back there she is not there. so now I have to find out why or what it is I have to do for her to appear to see if its possible to take gwen home to her mother
Dont know will just have to see what happens I know she went off getting some herbs she said she needed to go gathering
(not joking this is for real)

lmao!!

This is really cool! Gwen is probably the single most sought after PvE and RP secret in guildwars... mainly because it's the only one that can't be solved via website or simply going through the game. And it's also (as was mentioned) the longest running mystery throughout the storyline.

I would love to see pics, but I must remain a tad skeptical... my main source for faith in your story though comes from the fact that other than a cool post you would have no real motive for lieing.

Well, someone did make an entire map of UW, so I doubt they would have missed Gwen if she was there.

Notice, he hasn't posted anytime recently, so yeah, I'll call his bluff.

Not all people in the Underworld are dead... Perhaps she paid her tribute... perhaps (like many similar situations in Greek mythology) Grenth fell in love with her and stole her away to the Underworld...

Those who claim to have seen her, can you give us word on whether she's a ghost or alive?

Well, if we found Gwen's cape near Cantum Cay she obviously got ascended, right?!

Dont we all love mysteries?
And gwen is the biggest one in the PvE story.
Why would the developers even *think* of leaving the cape, flute etc in post-searing if they didnt intend any sort of connection. And the fact that 3 months and dozens of updates later, the continual presence of those items leads to take a wild guess that Gwen has to be linked to the UW in some way.

So, I still *want* to believe that the OP really found her, and will wait patiently for him to take SS. I dont have time to play all day, so I'd rather wait for more facts to come in before going in
