The account is still there, but I'm not actually sure who was behind it! It wasn't an official promotion by us or anything. :D

Is that what Mina looks like in real Tyria? Wait, is Mina a real asura and not just some made-up facade worn by Moto???

Princess Miya is just a character inside Super Adventure Box, but the design for the release page was inspired by old video game ads that marketed simple 8-bit games with detailed fantasy art and "lore" that...really isn't reflected in the game itself and was probably made up by the advertising agency. :D

Thanks alot for the answer, however i did know about that past blog entry and its almost two years old now. I am such a huge fan of the SAb that i just can't let this stand as it is - the SAB still has the unreachable upgrade in W2-2, it still has the W3 and W4 doors in the lobby, it still has an unsaved damsel in distress... the entire design still screams theres more to come, and to put it bluntly, that is what makes it unfair - i can't rest until Miya is saved :S

Rubi and I aren't on the development team; we're part of the content marketing team. We don't have an impact on the kind of content that gets made, but we do love SAB and we want to have fun with the festival content.

When we do goofy stuff around SAF, we try really hard to make sure we're not accidentally getting players' hopes up in a way that won't pay off, or coming to a point where new promotions around the festival will be more disappointing and upsetting than fun. That's why we want to be very clear that while we know SAB fans would really enjoy more content, the statement in the blog is still accurate.

Third paragraph down: "Guild Wars 2 is a huge game, and keeping it strong means making tough decisions about where to spend our time to best serve the most players. We decided we couldn’t justify the sacrifice to Guild Wars 2 to make more new worlds for SAB."

I hope at the very least it's still on the table.

No one is asking for it right now, but maybe next year, or the year after.

We've been waiting patiently for years, and many of us still haven't given up hope.

We appreciate how much you love SAB, but the blog post Rubi linked is the information we have on plans for the content. None of us on the content marketing team are aware of any changes, and it's probably safe to take it as the definitive answer.

I can't get anything past you!

I'm expecting a surprise in 2 days!

All of the SAF content we're releasing this year went live today. :D However, I can't promise that you won't be surprised in two days by April Fools' Day hijinks in general, including but not limited to: fake crop circles, unbelievable celebrity stunts, the shocking renewal of that canceled show you like, the shocking renewal of that canceled show you hate, or those plastic ducks that sound like the chorus of the damned when you squeak fifty of them at a time.

thanks for the heads up. also can you please send kudos on to whoever did the design for that site please. It's hitting my nostalgia button hard.

That would be the TOTALLY RADICAL Joey Marin!

That's some effort for the SAB page , they just want people to keep hoping for World 3

We go a little wild on the SAF release highlights because usually those pages have to be Serious Business. :D That's about as deep as it goes.

I actually wanted to make these work, but there were some technical difficulties due to the way guild hall maps change as you unlock more parts of them. I would really like to take another crack at it when I get some time.

You are correct, we'll get it fixed on the release page!

This was supposed to be there on day one, but it broke last minute and nobody noticed. I was crestfallen T_T.

Glad you like it!

It is still only functional in cities and home instances. We added the patch note for clarity that 1) the Ruler Throne collection item is now obtainable and 2) we won't be disabling chairs after April 1st.

Hey guys, this is Kevin from ANet (I'm getting my ANet tag shortly). I was able to repro this issue. I've bugged it and we have one of our content programmers looking at it now. From what I can tell, this seems isolated to the Sandswept Isles map.

Since we can now sit on chairs, can we expect to put stuff on the table anytime soon?

Everything is on the table....

In a very real sense, the Pale Tree is sitting on Tyria itself, which is quite the seat.

Has anyone been able to work out where the newly-opened house in Divinity's Reach is? I feel like I know DR pretty well and haven't been able to find one!

It looks like this wasn't opened yet due to some crossed wires, but it will be tomorrowish!
