Hail loyal soldiers of Ascalon! It is Prince Rurik here with this week's tip:
Don't be afraid to flee. Preventing death is preferable to losing ground sometimes. Death Penalty hurts bad and can cause a loss faster than being pushed back a bit, but don't give up a flag too easily - healing death penalty is important too.

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.
