The most recent conference call by NCSoft with investors had them talking about Guild Wars 2 which in 2010 will have a Closed Beta (no exact date). On the call they talked about the game also seeing realization in 2011.

So for all you Guild Wars fans, just another year and a half or so. But at least you’ve got plenty of other games to keep you busy until then. Even a few from NCSoft themselves. They also said that Blade and Soul is on track in the development cycle and that things are proceeding well.

In regards to the Aion Online - they believe that there is more content in the game than in other competitors like WAR, AoC etc. They believe that they will have gamers’ attention for a far longer time than the others have managed.

But the number has been starting to drop already they say in certain regions and are now working to turn that around. The 1.5 update will be available sometime in Q4 they said. That means very soon.
