"Fresh Guild Wars announced" From the Inquirer!

Savages BS news:

Guild Wars 5 will be coming out in 2015! 24 new professions. 3 Skills added!

I agreed with mikkel, this source of information just doesnt seem that reliable...i think we making a big fuss out of someone playing a huge trick on us. :P

They may increased the span of releasing new contents but i'm sure we will have updates like SF.
1-Statue of Melandru.
2-Statue of Lyssa.
3-the huge wasted spaces on all 3 maps (tyria,cantha and elona) can may revealed by time in updates to keep ppl exploring more.

Adopting wait and see stance this is the same BS they pull sometime ago with nightfall and faction.

quote "150 new skills, out of which 50 belong only to PvE (Player versus Enviroment). "

ok so 50 skill divided by 10 character = 5 skills each Subtract the junk skills = 1 actually useful PvE skill weeeee

As for if GW2 is release i am sure everyone have a question in mind(Is current GW1 characters transferable)

If Yes: Everyone is happy

If No: Whats the point of getting Eye of the North add on with the game becoming ghost town if everyones getting GW2 later on and moved on

Quote"main drool factor will be zone-wide events (read, open war in DaoC and Alterac Valley style"

My question are they refering to those GvG and HA eg 8v8 <---open war PvP alliance battle etc etc<---Another BS of small scale warfare trying to make it look big.

Then again all this is from "The inquirer" nothing is concrete just hype to bring people to their website.

Don't forget the statue of Dwayna!

Hmm now lets put things into perspective:

Eye of the North: Addon content to existing chapter with more of the same stuff (skills are new? we dont have to click on them now?) without any new mechanics added and perhaps even sold lesser but at a comparable price of a retail chapter? Does the term milking sound familiar to anyone? Let us not forget GW1 may not be cross compatitble with GW2...we paying more for a older dying game? GG.

GW2: More races, better eye candy, set level cap still with "sensitive leveling" (we gone through this crap before), possible RvR style PvP?(alliance battle joke anyone?) and we got to wait til 2009-2010 to get them? I hope this add-on can afford to pay the bills til then....otherwise we may see another "Eye of the south/west/east Addons" for GW1 not too soon after.

In short GW as a whole seem to me as an incomplete product with false marketing, with many of the enjoyable elements missing but slowly put them up under the guise of "free updates for a totally free online game" Or even maybe sell a totally new product with things that should have been in there in the first place. WOAH HOW COOL IS THAT!

Please go and buy multiple copies of Eye of the North for all your copies of GW we sure need all the money for Anet so the rest of us can afford to play it for free. Pretty please.

Well, if a public Beta is coming in '08, it is complete plausible that this will be the last major new content for the original game. Expansion pack format and number of skills also seems likely. If a third of the new skills are PvE only, only adding around 10 new skills per class will mean much less to balance in PvP. And those 50 PvE only skills could be really interesting.

Agreed on all points, especially the last one.

A.net won't even give us details about C4 and suddenly we have information about C4 AND GW2? Isn't that a little odd?

Hmm, the new gw add sounds ok, however information seems a bit vague atm, so i'm not gonna come to any conclusions til it comes out

I can't wait till all of this is false... I will gafaw

I am having major doubts about this information, didn't Anet say they wouldn't make a GW2, just update the original engine? I swear they said that somewhere. IMO GW2 sounds good but I just hope I can bring my Narcissa (my favourite character)

Morporkian Mercenaries? Sounds like a Discworld fan to me

Atm I'm wondering how the OP actually *found* "The inquirer" - it seems to be quite a smallscale/obscure website. Still not too happy with its info though, especially if it is false. What is the point, other than amusment at all the unhappy fans here? :P

I'm going to wait for more info from other sources, especially PC Gamer/Anet until I am for sure about anything.

If Guild Wars 2 is not compatable with Guild Wars 1, I'm outta here. I have put TONS of time (3,500hours) and energy into Guild Wars, and if they make me leave my characters in Guild Wars 1, I will walk away from GW, ArenaNet and NCsoft forever.

Races? c'mon ArenaNet, races are for WoW and not GW.
PvP'ers do not need more stuff, they have their battle isles and I wouldn't be surprised if they added more content to that, but it looks like they are getting the short stick for Chapter4 (could be wrong, like I said I am waiting for confirmation from another source).

Also, this article doesn't sound like it is really knowledgeable of Guild Wars(DUNGEONS?!?!?!?)

QFT, The Inquirer is definitely not known for accurate info. I'm sure some of what they've said is indeed accurate from a certain angle. I'm also sure that some of what they've said has probably breached an NDA or 3 and should ANet / NCSoft discover the 'source' of the info, their continued employment in the company(s) is likely to be in question.

As has been stated before, until you hear it from ANet it's just rumor. Articles in magazines can be traced to specific people at ANet / NCSoft. Random crap on a site such as The Inquirer is just rumor if it can't be verified.

Could it be that some Anet joker deliberately leaked some false rumours to make the forums explode? It's always fun to watch.

Pretty much sums it up. Maybe its because we like Stuey [Hence guild name.] Hopefully Gaile can clear this up, or NCsoft by later this afternoon.

Joke or not, it's enough to pretty much halt any further online store purchases until people know how far their buck/pound/whatever is going to go. I figured it would end, but not this soon. Just have to wait and see what the company says.

What I don't understand is: how could this have been in the GDC 2007 conference if it doesn't start until today - as in later today? I smell a rotten egg.

are the 'playable races' in repects to eotn or gw2? seems to be gw2.... hmmm

*Looks at clock*....March 5 Fools joke? :P

Something smells fishy here !!!!
what i'm thinking is it's a concept of idea in Anet's mind and they leaked it as rumor to see what is the impact if they made something like that.

guess what Anet..this idea sucks
