News Filter: It's Official - Guild Wars 2

• PC Gamer finally hit the shelves at the local bookstore. And thank goodness because the folks at the local Ralphs, CVS, Waldenbooks, and Borders were tired of me coming in every day without buying anything. That I found the issue at Barnes & Noble is beside the point.


• The point is that Guild Wars 2 is official. Although I knew in my gut that the rumors were true, it was hard for me to really get my head around it. Guild Wars the First was a certified success, with over 3 million units sold. So why would they give that up?


• If I was ever going to write a post titled "Why Anjin Doesn't Play Guild Wars Anymore?", this article just blew it out of the water. The folks at Arena.net essentially admit that, although the game is a success, they've made enough mistakes with the design that going the best recourse is to start over with a new game. I whole heartedly concur.


• Also official is Eye of the North, the first expansion pack for my first online gaming love. I swear, that World of Warcraft hussy doesn't mean a thing to me. Looks like I'll be updating my other blog sooner than I thought.
