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.
So for "issues" we have to check the forums and for (SotO) news we still have to check Twitter and/or the official web site? What a mess.
And how many Rifts or Rift-like events is Anet going to (re-)implement?
