It seems like "Human week" will be the focus of both the ArenaNet blog and GuildWars2.com this week. It seems they have various blog posts and website updates to showcase the playable race, Humans, in the upcoming Guild Wars 2.
Welcome to Human Week, our week-long look at humans here on the ArenaNet Blog and on GuildWars2.com!
A noble, resilient people, humans were the only playable race in Guild Wars, but a lot has changed in the 250 years between the original game and Guild Wars 2. Times are tough for the humans of Kryta; they have to contend with marauding centaurs, bandits, and internal intrigue, to say nothing of the looming threat of the Elder Dragons. Through it all, theyve managed to maintain their hope, dignity, and (as youll see) their fashion sense.
They are a proud people, Continuity and Lore Designer Jeff Grubb, Theyve been knocked back but not knocked out.
It'll be an interesting week to find out more about the Human race, one of the only two playable races we've seen demo'd and the original race from the first Guild Wars. Some interesting highlights include the sound post which will showcase the conversations between Humans as you explore the world.
See the blog post for more details about Human Week.
