In the wild, mouse at the ready, hunting down links
After hours of wandering looking for profitable ventures and/or combat encounters, I managed to hit pay dirt in X3: Reunion. I had a grand total of 8,000 credits to my name then so I was in Argon space making yet another dull Energy Cell run in my starting ship, the Argon Buster.
Three bogies showed up on my radar. Screw these trading runs, I thought, let’s get some starfighting done.

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.

Heroes dumbed down?
See also: 1, 2.
GW2 threat revealed?
Major GW:EN spoilers so steer clear if you haven’t completed the expansion.
“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.

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.
The idea of a sandbox game that lets you play the role of a hotshot pirate-hunter, a starfleet commander, a trader or a manufacturing mogul is very appealing.
I was put off by reports of bugs and the exceptionally paranoid copy protection scheme used for X3. I doubt I would have bought the game if it wasn’t on Steam.
