ArenaNet let drop via their blog today that guesting is real and is coming soon. They hinted at this in the blog post from yesterday, but to see a feature so sorely missed since launch finally have an official date is awesome news indeed. The date that guesting is open to all players is January 28th. 

This doesn't come without a hint of not so good news. That date also marks the end of free world transfers. This may end up being a good thing for WvW players and we can finally see server populations start to settle and communities really start to form.

The much anticipated blog post has gone live this morning. In it, Colin Johanson covers what ArenaNet has in store for the first half of 2013, and what improvements we can look forward to as we travel around Tyria. Head past the cut for a run down of the blogpost, as well as some minor excitement on what I see as a great charter for the future.

In what I can only describe as attempts to pacify the sPvP crowd, Jonathan Sharp has again stepped in front of the angry masses to explain the current production roadmap for sPvP. He walks down a list of priorities the team has, but is light on time tables. A quick run down the features ArenaNet is targeting follows below.
