Guild Wars 2

Are these twitter accounts managed by ANet or in collaboration with ANet?

https://twitter.com/ScarletBriar/following
https://twitter.com/Mordremoth

Confirmed by devs, that they are NOT run by devs.

Yes.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Yes.

Proof?

If you look at the ones done for other game characters (From other games), most of them are individually done. Hence why you have 6 or so Character Tumblrs for Ahri from LoL, five Character Twitters for Thrall (WoW) and countless others from various franchises. I doubt there’s only one doing it, and I doubt it would be ANet would be doing it save that it’s an ANet employee but he’s doing it separately, not so much as an “ArenaNet” thing.

Well, the other Twitter accounts were from ArenaNet. No reason to think these aren’t.

This https://twitter.com/GuildWars2 is definitley from ANET directly.

Agreed proof please, and did the ‘yes’ mean it’s ANet? Or perhaps someone collaborating with ANet?

Well they are followed by several ArenaNet employees accounts, and they do seem to post stuff before available to the public (in case of Scarlets account).

That definitely supports that it could be ANet but doesn’t necessarily confirm its them. It could be someone who they collaborate with that has early access like dulfy

The Scarlet Briar one is owned by Anet and confirmed indirectly.

The latest screenshots, for example, were taken before the patch was released. So you can infer that there is no way that a fan would have had accessed that screenshot before the patch.

Mordremoth is unconfirmed, and the high rate of activity right now from his twitter account makes me suspicious. Theo Nguyen, one of the designers/writers from Anet is following him, so take that for what you want.

I don’t think dulfy gets early access now. Before she had achievement guides readily available but now she has been working on patch day collecting the data. Even the current patch is still a work in progress.

Not to mention, why would dulfy risk access by controlling a twitter account and making these ‘false’ posts?
