Guild Wars links

Updated October 3

A number of ArenaNet personnel maintain blogs and galleries. These generally don’t have that much Guild Wars content but every once in a while they might have an anecdote or some concept art so they’re well worth a mouseclick.

“Why GW fails as a social game.”
I like the fact the game is very solo-friendly but I believe ArenaNet needs to provide greater incentives for players to group together. Significantly better drops for all-player parties might be a good way to start.

Oktoberfest.
A fan-event that will undoubtedly turn many a player’s screen all screwy.

X3: Reunion: the first day

X3: Reunion: Argon Prime
I’ve been intrigued by the X series of games for some time but never got around to trying any of them out before I got the latest game in the series, X3: Reunion, on Tuesday.
