Earlier this month
we made a post speculating -- via
Kill Ten Rats -- on how the marketing may be handled for
Guild Wars 2. As it turns out, some of those rumors turned out to be untrue. Specifically, the rumor about how the game would be marketed when it eventually comes out. Regina Buenaobra, an
ArenaNet community manager,
has made it clear that NCsoft allows developers
to decide their own marketing strategies for their games in the way that makes sense for them. We're very glad to hear that, as one size certainly does not fit all.
Another nice aside here is that it would appear that NCsoft is allowing
ArenaNet to do their own thing, which should assuage any worries or fears some may have after the events surrounding
Tabula Rasa and
Auto Assault. As for that release date? Well, that's still subject for speculation as per usual.

It's strange that ArenaNet hasn't shown anything new since the initial announcement was made regarding GW2.
