As you can see in the AMA post from Mike O'Brien here Colin will leave Anet :-/
His comment on it can be seen here
I think this deserves an own thread, since its a really big deal
All i want to say about it is that it makes me sad, to me Colin was an amazing guy, rly close to the community, with a great taste of humor. I wish him all the best. GW2 wouldnt be such a great game without him.

Thanks very much! You'll have to put up with me for one more week, but it has been an absolute pleasure being a part of this wild ride for eleven years.
Colin wasn't part of gw1 contrary to popular belief.
Second gw1 and 2 are different games. Best get over that fact, they did not set out to make gw1.5.
That Colin guy very much was on every Gw1 game, he told me so! Awesome memories, Gw1 and Gw2 both :)
