We have always used the official Guild Wars 2 Twitter account as our primary place to give players updates and information on emergent game issues, among many other things. What made this channel so useful was that it allowed us to communicate quickly and succinctly, and our entire community could see the updates regardless of whether they had a Twitter account.

We are not able to predict how future updates to Twitter's policies may impact our official account's availability, and it's important to us that all players have a reliable source of news about the game, your accounts, and our studio. We will continue to communicate on Twitter like we have previously, but we will make our news and announcements forum our first location for "breaking news" on issues that affect things like the live game service. The Guild Wars 2 forums are visible regardless of registration or login, and we will keep it that way.

You can also keep an eye on our bug forum for regular game bugs, use our dev tracker to keep an eye on official developer posts, or enable notifications in any forum using the "follow" button to stay up to date.

I think they should at least move away from Twitter entirely.

Guild Wars 2 was welcoming and including LGBTIAQ* folks from the start and has a huge and wonderful LGBTIAQ* community.
And with staying on Twitter they support a platform and its owner who is purposefully supporting and even promoting right wing anti-queer and anti-trans politics (DeSantis) and is explicitly allowing hate against queer people, especially trans folks. And I don't think this is something ArenaNet wants or should be doing.

Actually, I think this is something nobody should be wanting or doing.
