Is WvW going to change so much that the API will change dramatically? And if so will we developers have an opportunity to get a look at the API before it goes live? you know, like when the WvW Beta testing starts?

developing in lockstep with the WvW changes so the API stuff should be ready day one. Unfortunately nothing’s announced so I can’t really talk what the changes are until some point in the future.

To add to that, I’ll open a pull request on github and post an announcement of the API changes on the forums when the WvW changes are announced. That’s about as much as I can share right now, though.

So we can assume that there will be breaking changes to the API?

Depending on what changes, there may be breaking changes to the API. In that situation I would try to make it as simple as possible to update applications (and ideally keep applications mostly-working after the changes land).

Sorry for being coy; there really isn’t much I can say until whatever the changes are are announced.
