Guild Wars Interview with Bobby Stein

http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/49163

Interesting article here about a writer for the Guild Wars universe. He mentions Guild Wars 2 several times in the article, but sadly it sounds as if they are not yet in full content production mode.

Enjoy

"We’re seeding the world with lots of little details so that interested players can connect the dots."

The Lore Nut in me loves this.

Mmmm tidbits

hrmz

Who will lived for 250 years beyond guild wars

The Charr might have lifespans of 500 years and we might see PYRE FIERCESHOT

LIKE

OMG

I was hoping the asura race died off..oh well.

Finally some word on what's going on with GW2!

However little it is I'm glad we've heard something.

This. It would be a fantastic way to bridge the gap between the heroes of GW and GW2, i.e., an immortal spirit awoken from sleep or encountered upon the discovery of the Hall of Monuments.

On topic: Going to read the interview now.

Read this post first of the thread. I'M INTERESTED!

PS: The Lore Nut in you should join the Lore Guild in GW2 *exists in GW1 and will be set up in GW2 immediately*

I think they mean Zhed and Vekk. Vekk is a "young" Asura and his age is in the three digits I think. Zhed is also a teenager in NF, and the Centaurs live hundreds of years. Also possible to see Odgen or some other non-stoned Dwarf as they live for centuries too. Also, as said, Razah is possible.

Pyre, however, won't live that long. In between the time of GW1 and GW2 Pyre's Grandcub will be an adult and perform a revolution - so Pyre's probably long dead, possible for his grandcub too.

Now then, to read the interview, then sleep.

You beat me to mentioning about Razah, but the only thing I am curious about with GW2 is will it be actual missions like Prophecies, etc... or will it be dungeons like EotN that we'll be facing...

Razah should become a god. But seriously, he would be an epic link between GW1 and Gw2 <_<;

Quasi-Eternal Life 100energy, 3600s, 3600000000s (Enchantment spell) Your character does not die until GW2 is released.

You've moved games! 100energy, 3600s, 3600000000s (Spell) Transfers your character (and its HoM) from a GW1 server to a GW2 server.

Ty for the interview!

After reading the interview, I'm pleasantly surprised about what Mr. Stein had to say. It's a teaser, yes, but it's encouraging to know that they're making steady advances on GW2.

Something like this is nice just to know that they care and that it's a work in progress.

I found that article pretty interesting and informative. I almost think a developer blog where they talk in more detail about the points he lightly brushed on would be even more interesting to read.

One somewhat related comment: I noticed that comments posted on non-GW-related/centric websites/forum by people are usually quite positive and nothing like what we read on Guru (which has its own "personality" anyway), like the one attached to the article. People often refer to GW as a brilliant game, with nice graphics, lore and/or music. This suggests that even if they're not playing (for reason A, B, or C) there may be a big inactive fanbase (ready for GW2...).

I hope we'll see more articles like these over the next few months. I'm getting a good vibe about GW2

They'll rule the world, and you all know it.

When all's said and done, I want to know about the Forgotten. They better not get written out. Hell, chuck out the humans and we're set.
Man, we always suck arse in RPGs. Wonder why that is...

Boy i best go get Razha :s but Xandra is so leetz

Very interesting read that interview. Thanks for posting the link.

Sweet! I'm getting all excited about GW2 again now.

I'm probably in a minority here but I am kinda hoping that it will not come out till late 2010, that way I'll get a good year or so of Diablo3 in before I have to abandon that for the mighty GW2

i coulda swore the asuran race was wiped out? and that livia was the ruler of the world w/ the sceptor of orr she finds? hmm... is it possible that she becomes "immortal" or maybe lives waaaaay longer than the average human due to the powers of the sceptor?

this is all assumptions i have made. i didn't read the interview nor have i gotten a huge knowledge base of GW 2 for things that have been alreayd mentioned. meh...
