bigwig, no I haven’t been keeping track, so what you say is definitely good news.

@julian: have you not heard anything about gw2? As far as I know, everything you mentioned will not be in gw2. A more persistent world, jumping, several races to choose from, etc.

Although its not like Anet is being particularly forthcoming about what they’ve got up their sleeve. When was the last time they released any real information?

I hope they take the time to design away the annoyances of Guild Wars and end up with something much better.

Annoyances: Rails and invisible walls all over the place, character movement, excessive instancing, limited choice of visual appearance.

If they fix that I’d be a supremely happy camper, because Guild Wars is rather solid as it is. It’s those annoyances (IMO) that detract from it.

Believe it or not, I was expecting this to happen. The main problem here is GW and the money it brings in every month. Why launch a new product when your current offering is already selling very well?

I started playing GW a month ago and was amazed by the game’s all round quality, especially when taking into consideration its age. If I get bothered, I can always buy the expansion packs which should keep me busy for many months to come.

Personaly, I couldn’t be bothered about Aion. Doesn’t sound that exiting so I won’t be buying it when it arrives here in Europe.

This is ugly. And if they believe Aion will have any type of success here in the US, they would be terribly wrong.
They should have shoveled more cash into Arena.Net, and helped them get motivated and GW2 launched.

That will be the ONLY game to save them now.

Good thing Korea rocks for NCsoft.

By that I mean, I simply don’t believe they can afford to market both games simultaneously in 2009.
