The ability to talk and say nothing is a very useful skill, found mostly in politicians and community relations managers.

I agree... Those 3 answers told us absolutly nothing interesting or anything we hadn't already known...

A bit like most Fansite Fridays then. Although it's good to know a bit about the expansion plans in the rest of the world.

I guess their definition of long long time and everyone elses definition of long long time differ =/

Yes, there's means it takes a long, long time to be able to make a build. :/

I do wonder who gave those answers, though.

However, to appeal to gamers who prefer to play without purchasing the game, we will also include time-cards that will allow a specific number of gameplay hours.
Interesting. So you can opt to have some sort of "monthly fee" system now?

Hmmm. What the _hell_ would be the point of that? :-S Total conflufflement.

Wandering my own road.

Some people find this game gets boring for them after a month or so;
If a 2 month time-card were $30, and they got bored by the end of the second month and never wanted to play again, they'd save $20.

However, they cite hours, so I'd make a somewhat random guess along the lines of 200 hour time cards for $15-20. If 700 hours is the average max playing time for people, then that'd almost be $50 to match time for time.

But then again, if the devs were to make this game as fun as it once was, people wouldn't mind not saving 20 bucks

Fansite: Blah blah question that's been asked thousands of times blah blah?

A.Net: Blah blah the same answer as last time - which is vague and uninformative blah blah.

Maybe they will slip up and actually dish out something with more substance.

The whole analogy of how PvErs will begin to PvP and actually stick to it is so horribly wrong.

To add to the above poster, horribly, horribly wrong .

Considering Guild Wars is not yet released in China, yeah, they should probably ask what the 27th expansion would be like!

I can't access the site from germany becasuse it will time out (after 5min all I got was half of the frame and some gfx errors). retrying hasn't helped.

I still wonder if there will be such a thing as the summer expansion with furnace and path. I started to believe that they mean Summer in AUSTRALIA, not in Europe or the US.
I also prefer to know when they are planning on expansions, even if it means that they tell us, "forget it for the next two months". waiting for nothing isn't exactly my hobby.
