Alright, so I'm potentially not the only one who keeps checking the site for updates

I'm pretty stoked about it.
So, glamdring, what classes/race are you thinking of?
I got my heart set on a Charr Warrior and a Norn Thief.

Well I'm not sure, but I always loved my archer so I will most likely stick with it. I'm still keeping my eye on the guardian and thief, and of course there is always an option to go good old warrior. For my race, I will either go Human, Norn, or Sulvari. I always like my human race and the norm seem cool, at the same time it would be neat to use the new race. I just couldn't bring my self to be the wretched charr Asura just seem way to odd and almost a bit annoying.
Most likely I will be an Norn or Human archer. As the release date gets closer and I can get my hands on more videos and what not I will make up my mind. I really like my Human race but I think a Norn archer kinda feels right. I sure hope the game releases while I'm on break from college, so I can devote a good week to the game HAHAHA.
Oh and for some really good information check out the videos from PAX.

They breakdown the dynamic events much better than the site dose.

Yeah, the dynamic event system seems really cool; I'm looking forward to see how they pull it off, as well as the emphasis on a character's personal story.
And I'm so gonna rock the charr.
This guy sold me on it:

hahaha, I was never much of a PvP guy but the sound of World vs World might just turn me into one!
I still can't decide, but they don't provide much information on the new race. I can't wait for the public beta, I never found an area to sign up for either the closed or public beta yet.

Well according to those videos they do have people testing it. Not sure where they picked them from, but I want in! I wonder if they will do like many companies and preorder will get you into the beta.

WOW I did not expect that, I don't know that seems like an odd profession for Guild Wars. I have no doubt they can work it in, just seems very modern for the game.
Nice to know even they are participating in April fools day

This is probably my favorite April Fool this year. If for no other reason than the amount of effort that went into it.

No kidding! They even had in game quest that let you turn into a commando and travel back in time.
Honestly I was disappointed by Google this year, it was funny but you could tell they didn't put much effort in this time. Grooveshark did a cool 3D one. If any of you are Linux people you would have found the PCLinuxOS one VERY funny.

I liked the one on Linux Gamer that announced that Steam and Source now worked natively in Linux. They then linked to WINE.

Hahaha, I have gotten all but one game to run in WINE. But I haven't spent much trying to get BFBC2 to run in Linux because my Linux box needs a new CPU.

Yup. When we have time, we've been working up through Tyria.
I still have to beat Hell's Precipice. Does anybody else need this?

I do have a Warrior that needs the mission and a Monk that needs the bonus. Just let me know if you want to have a go sometime.
