FAQ: FAQ | Guild Wars 2

In the Shadow of Dragons

For generations, war and chaos raged across the land of Tyria. Five great races competed and warred against each other, struggling to tip the balance of power in their favor.

Then the dragons woke.

The all-powerful beasts stirred from their millennial sleep under earth and sea. With their magical breath the dragons spread destruction and created legions of twisted slaves. A deathless dragon named Zhaitan raised the sunken nation of Orr, triggering earthquakes and tidal waves that destroyed entire cities across the Sea of Sorrows.

Zhaitan's undead armies surged from the sea, hungry for the destruction of the five races of Tyria: the charr, a ferocious race of feline warriors; the asura, magical inventors of small size and great intellect; the norn, towering shapeshifters from the frigid northern lands; the sylvari, a mysterious young race of visionary plant folk; and the humans, an embattled but resilient people.

Now heroes from the five races must set aside ancient rivalries and stand together against their common enemies.

Magic, technology, and cold steel will determine the ultimate fate of the world.

I will definitely buy this one!

Me too! It's good to finally see NcSoft finally talking about it again, it's been quite a while since the last announcement about the game

Stunning trailer

I have been looking for a P2P MMORPG w/o a monthly subscription fee, and guild wars was what i was looking for. Can't wait for GW2

Just a question
Once guild war 2 is released, will it be a continuation of Guild wars and its expansions or a whole new database, everyone creates new characters and a new world O_o?

[Aaddron]

It takes place 250 years after and in the same world of the original GW but I'm not sure if it's a continuation.

It would suck a bit more if it was a continuation (expansion) cause then i would be really behind in Guild wars, If it were a new Database, then we would all start in the same page.... kinda...ehhh....

thanks for the tip anyways

[insanespoon]

It's basically a completely different storyline. Races will actually be working together now, which confuses me on PvP aspects.

[Aaddron]

Well in the original GW everyone was human and on the same side so I'd guess the PvP will be guild/party based... but I did hear something about a big PvP area so maybe they will have two sides to be part of or something.

NcSoft has announced 2011 as the release date of GW2, beta testing could start in 2010.

2011? Why stop development of GW Campaigns if we have to wait that long for the sequel?
