It's said the new chapter will also conclude events in Tyria following the end of Guild Wars: Prophecies, and seemingly also mark the end of Guild Wars.

An NCSoft representative declined to comment on this information when contacted earlier.

The Inquirer's report goes on to claim details on Guild Wars 2. It says the sequel is currently pencilled in for release 2009-to-2010 - with a public beta test scheduled for 2008 - features a revamped graphics engine and is set hundreds of years after Prophecies and Eye of the North. Mention is also made of zone-wide events likened to World of Warcraft 's Battlegrounds.
