With E3 just around the corner and the special E3 for Everyone event about to kick-off we have opened these forums. We have also launched a mini-site to support the event on GWOnline.Net (http://www.gwonline.net).

On the site you can find links to download the E3 for everyone client as well as our special interactive screenshots submission script (http://www.gwonline.net/screenshots/). The screenshots section enables you upload your screenshots from the event direct to the site as well as the ability to add your own captions so make sure you keep snapping to share your shots!

We're also meeting with the ArenaNet team and getting the low-down on the game and future plans so stay tuned to the site.

Congrats on the new forums - I like the color scheme. Yep, Guild Wars looks pretty good.

Woot! New forum! New site!

Does this mean you'll be starting up 'mini-sites' for the next Blizzard games? (SC2 for example.)

Great! I've really anticipated having a GW site and forums connected to this network :)

Hope you find some qualified people to run this :)

Well... I think it didn't get that great of hype the first time around (when it was announced) since the graphics stunk. But this time around (E3) it has some superb graphics, and between E3 For Everyone and the coverage it'll get from magazines/websites, I think Guild Wars will finally get the hype it needed.

Nice to see more ambitious fan sites covering this game. :)

I'm pretty sure it will be big, maybe as big as a Blizzard game. These guys are up to a new genre like when Diablo 1 was released, which is very exciting. :)

I think they're mostly focusing on a select few games that they know are being made at least. ;) It's hard to make a fan site around a game there exist no information for.

The GWOnline.Net site is a placeholder for the E3 event. We have the site complete and ready to go but first of all we are looking for the the right team of fans to run it now. We have set up placeholder sites for most games the network covers, some of you may remember we did the same with wow a few years back :)

Aaaah.. that's a pretty cool idea. I'd like to see the SC2 placeholder site! :D (Guessing there is no Diablo III placeholder site, since I hear "Diabloii.net will cover that.")

Anyone know what happened to RPGStars.com? I couldn't get to the site all weekend, and I can't know.

I think this game is going to be amazing. I just... can't... wait. I might even take a sick day on wednesday :)

Hows it going. Still Trying to decide on GW or WoW. But the no monthly fee is really pulling me towards Gw.

Yeah, I don't feel like paying for WoW either. I don't have that much time to play anymore so a free game suits me better. Especially after checking out GW. Looks good to me, can't wait to see it finished.
