  • GW: Eye of the North Q&A

    Guild Wars: Eye of the North Q&A - Introduction to the First Guild Wars Expansion

    Gamespot has posted this interview with ArenaNet game designer Ben Miller. Keep reading to seewhat they were able to learn about the upcoming Guild Wars expansion.

    GS: What's the reasoning for making Eye of the North a true expansion rather than a stand-alone chapter? Was it to provide more high-level content for existing players?

    BM: There are a couple reasons we chose to do an expansion rather than a stand-alone campaign. One is that with each new campaign, the game gets more and more complex and the tutorial areas become larger as we need to explain the new professions and the new mechanics. Instead of reinventing the "tutorial wheel" yet again, we are using that energy to develop more content for existing characters.

  • Guild Wars: Developer Interview

    Ben Miller and Eric Flannum Interview

    Eurogamer had a chance to sit down with Ben Miller and Eric Flannum and talk about Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2. Keep reading to see what they were able to learn.

    Guild Wars began as three people's big idea, an MMORPG to break the mould, and one that would feature no monthly subscription fees - something many of us predicted would certainly lead to an early demise, especially against such fierce opposition.

  • GW2:Expansion and Sequel Q&A

    Expansion and Sequel Interview

    About.com had a chance to talk to Jeff Strain and Mike O'Brien about the upcoming Guild Wars 2 and about Eye of the North.

    I understand that another release in the Guild Wars series, Eye of the North, is in development. Is it really the end, or will further expansions be considered if Eye of the North is a success?

    Jeff: We haven't actually announced what the follow-up plan is for Guild Wars. This is the first Guild Wars expansion but we certainly haven't said that this is the end of Guild Wars 1. Regardless of our product release strategy, it goes without saying that even after Guild Wars 2 ships we have no intention of shutting down servers or ending support for Guild Wars 1.

  • Guild Wars Producer Q&A on PvP, Factions

    Know the Factions!

    Jeff Strain, ArenaNet co-founder and Guild Wars producer, speaks to AVault about some of the more interesting aspects of recent standalone Guild Wars expansion Factions.

    We’re in over 35 different countries right now. So we want to make sure that each new campaign explores a different art style, a different mythology or fantasy tradition or cultural tradition. But most importantly, we want to make sure that each new one looks drastically different than the one that came before it. So as you point out, the first campaign was a more traditional Medieval European fantasy, Factions is very much an Asian theme, and campaign three is also going to be very visually distinct. It’s going to have more of a North African feel. So think of Tunisia, Morocco kind of look to it.
