    Guildwars2guru.com is probably the main site.

    ArenaNet posts there themself and whatnot, the community is nice, except the moderators, who actually acts like special snowflakes for being moderators and gives you warnings for no actual reason.

    Yes, i'm serious, those moderators are completely dicks.

    The general population are nice, but special snowflake blue name posters and powertrip mods tend to ruin the atmosphere.

    Here's my favorite mod example. Heaven forbid you bring up such things in off topic.

    They randomly edited one of my posts in the 8th profession anticipation thread. By edit I mean completely deleted it for no reason. (Was a prediction post which turned out to be right in the end HA)

    They sure love being special snowflakes.

    Guild Wars 2 Fan Site

    Hey all,

    I was doing my daily news search on GW2 and caught this thread.

    I am in the process of setting up and building my own GW2 update/news/community site.

    The project got put on hold due to other work and a worry that there was no need for it.

    After seeing this thread I feel I might not be the only one who has seen the lack of concise GW2 and info.

    If i go through with it it will be updated daily whenever there's new or interesting info on GW2.

    Would you guys be interested in something like that... Basically I am asking if I should finish it!

    Cheers,

    Sylvan

    wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_fansites some on that list are old GW1 fansites that have been around quite long time. Personally I prefer to post on incgamers (old gwonline), which is old GW1 fansite and host few alliance forums. Note there is several German and French fansites that are regular updated, so if you speak either of these languages you might want to check their fansites out.

    TBH I don't think it's needed. There are quite a few GW2 fan sites out there, although the moderators at Guru are a bit of.... snowflakes... the main page always has weekly round up of information and posts information when it appears. Not to mention if you have any certain questions you can post them here and most of the time Mif beats anyone to the punch and answers them.

    I would definitely be interested if it was executed well and you maintained secure website. I HATE using gw2guru for forums because the mods are jerks and delete posts for no reason. I would love to have an active place to go for gw2 chat.

    I can see your point about guru although I must admit the news maybe there but I've never felt its done very well.

    And as many people have said the mods are not loved.

    But thanks for replying I will take yours as 1 no.

    Cool well that ties up the votes for the site. It would be active and using mmo champ as a guide to build upon.

    Thanks for replying! Ill keep thinking it over

    Well, I'm glad edge was nice enough to lift my ban on x-mas eve. Thank you for your understanding, and from now on I'll try to lower my tone.

    OT: I'm currently on a crusade to point out how the mods on GW2G are being egotistical. The ones I'm mostly worried about are Unlucky Slayer, Ryuzaki, and Corsair. Those guys are really terrible mods, especially unlucky slayer; that guy is a douche. I'm bringing it up to Kvinna, and hopefully will get a reply from her. My GW2G screen name is Butcher, so if you want to PM, go ahead, or just contact me here. I hope that wasn't too much "calling out", but it seems trivial on this site for mods to moderate an issue related to another forum board. Carry on.

    See, GW2G has the potential to be a great place to discuss things. Every board needs its' "i lold" and "1st" posts every now and then. Every board needs the random crap and silly threads every now and then, too. GW2G doesn't allow it, and most threads on that site end up stagnating into a vicious circle of "hurrr durrr, we don't know yet" posts. No one is willing to be bold and come up with crazy-ass threads/ideas because mods will shut them down in a heartbeat.

    Point blank: having any kind of discussion based on subjective thoughts is forbidden on GW2G. Everyone is forced into this "facts facts facts" culture on that site. It leaves nothing open for REAL discussion. I find it quite boring. However, the only way this is going to get changed is if WE, THE FORUM-GOERS badger Kvinna with PMs until she is forced to open her eyes on the issue and put her dogs in line. It takes a concerted effort from MANY people to make a change. Make an account, send her a PM about snowflake mods, ???, PROFIT.

    Otherwise, another great fan site for RPers would be http://www.gwrpc.org/

    I've been running a GW2 fansite for a little over half a year now at http://www.guildwars2journal.com - it's quite a bit of work but I enjoy doing it, so if anyone wants to check us out I'd be happy and I'm always open for feedback. I'm also looking for a few more staff members (news posters, writers or artists), in case someone is looking for such an opportunity.

    We're not as big as Guru by a long shot but we've been growing lately and I'm trying my best to update the news as often as possible. We also have an active guild section and I've been doing interviews with a few guilds which we posted as spotlights and we'll continue doing that. We also have a few hands-on articles/interviews from Gamescom and will focus on guides after release.

    That's quite a nice site you got there, Yalu. It'd be a shame if something happened to it...
