GW2 news??

Here is an article written on massively.com about GW2. It looks like it will be in 2011 most likely... or *maybe* later. But the good news is that there obviously WILL be a GW2 eventually, which is more than what some people feared...namely, that there will NEVER be a GW2.

You may remember back during our coverage of PAX 08 last year when we reported on ArenaNet's announcement of a Guild Wars book trilogy, set up to explain the lore between Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2. Recently, Ravious at Kill Ten Rats wrote a great post compiling the information we have now, combined with some brand new info on what looks to be the first novel in that trilogy.

Guild Wars: Fall of Ascalon by Matt Forbeck is set to release on or around February 23, 2010. What's even more interesting is some speculation from a GW fan concerning what may be the second book, possibly being penned by J. Robert King, also for release in 2010. Of course this begs the question of timeline. Are these three books all being written at the same time, to be released around the same time, or will they be written and released well into 2011? As far as we know, Guild Wars 2 won't come out until these books have all been released, so with the first book coming out in February of next year, we probably won't hear anything new about Guild Wars 2 until then, at least.

Ah well, meanwhile we have Aion, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and a bazillion free to plays to keep us entertained...not to mention still playing GW right now. I still love this game best. Maybe it is the people in it, maybe it is the game itself, but whatever. I still plan on hanging about here until every single one of you are gone...
