Defining the Lore of Guild Wars 2 - A Q&A with Jeff Grubb

Posted Tue, Feb 16, 2010 by B. de la Durantaye

This week Ten Ton Hammer takes a look at the upcoming MMOG, Guild Wars 2. While ArenaNet is not yet ready to disclose too many aspects of the gameplay, we were able to catch up with ArenaNet Game Designer, World Builder and all-around Lore Guy, Jeff Grubb. We asked Jeff about the Elder Dragons' awakening in GW2 and how the world will have changed over the 250 year time span between the original title and Guild Wars 2. Jeff tells us a little about the art of the game and a whole lot about what's coming in the way of lore.

Ten Ton Hammer: Will players eventually encounter the other Elder Dragons?

Jeff: The effects of all the Elder Dragons are ever-present on Tyria and all the races in Guild Wars 2. Encountering them in person is an opportunity for future expansions. But that’s getting ahead of ourselves—let’s see if you make it past the first dragon.
