Q:
Where did GW2 on ipad go?
No clue. Haven’t heard much about the extended experience.
Last time I heard something was in september over 2 years ago.

Here’s what people thought of GW1 when it first came out: http://tinyurl.com/bntcvyc
“A release is 7 days or less away or has just happened within the last 7 days…
These are the only two states you’ll find the world of Tyria.”

Since then the plan changed to instead release an API that would allow fans to hook in to some of the games systems and create our own apps and tools.
Lots of people are eagerly waiting for that to see what we can come up with.
But that info was some time in September, so maybe the plan has changed again. They have gone dark on the API, mobile stuff, and web interfaces that Kate Welch was talking about in interviews last February.
For all we know, it’s all been scrapped.
It really is a shame we have none of that stuff since that was a key selling point and a unique aspect of Guild Wars 2 and its social features. Not long after the announcements of those things, other existing MMOs jumped on the train and released apps to do similar things. So now older games have the stuff we were supposed to have, inspired by Anet, and we are still waiting for some shreds of info.

It’s actually not a new idea from Anet. EVE had something like this since a long long time ago.
“… but I hate the idea ‘It may not make sense at first’.
I want it to make sense right away, then another sense later. Murkiness =/= quality "

As far as I knew the EVE app didn’t let you chat with your guild and friends list, manage guild, and see player locations and activities on the map in real time, and was more of a market tool and skill calculator. At least before 2009, when GW announced the extended experience would do exactly all those things and showed a working demo at a convention.
But I could very well be mistaken.
