Hail loyal soldiers of Ascalon! It is Prince Rurik here with this week's tip:
Remember that there is more to Guild Wars than just standard combat. There is a lot of awesome and interesting things to do in the game like Polymock or the various minigames that run year round.
The written language is the focus of the latest Guild Wars 2 reveal. Were given the advance scoop on something thats a bit different than solid gameplay mechanics like Dynamic Events or customizable stories. This time around ArenaNet is taking a look at written language within GW2. Writing is really important to any civilization because it allows us to save information in a convenient format that can be retrieved later by anyone who can read that language. This works both ways for GW2. The first is from a lore standpoint where it helps reinforce a realistic and detailed touch to the games fictional story. The second is from the community building standpoint where the community can come together and work through various Easter Eggs in the game.
