So, about Guild Wars
The above was made from interviews at last year's Gamecom by Wartower.de, where we were showing off the Charr initial story and a battle with a dragon champion. The big thing to notice is the level of excitement that everyone is showing. We are really, really excited about this game, and it is clearly infectious.
This weekend we (ArenaNet) are running a beta of the game. This is a invitational beta, and we have invited people involved in earlier beta, fans, and the press. And we told the press they could talk about their experiences, starting Monday.
Me? I'm holding on tight for the resulting tidal wave of coverage.
