Guild Wars 2 at the one-year mark
Early in 2012, I started doing some short posts using my nom-de-gaming identity “Raphia Naon” at GuildMag for the first beta weekend event of the unreleased game Guild Wars 2. I continued doing a daily entry for almost all the beta events and stress tests (I missed a few because they were scheduled at times I couldn’t take part). It’s now the first anniversary of the “headstart” period and I’ve posted a short piece on what I take the liberty to call the Tyrian Firstborn: the players who pre-purchased the game and took part in the beta and stress test events leading up to launch.

This week in Guild Wars 2
My weekly Guild Wars 2 community round-up at GuildMag is now online. This week’s round-up was seriously delayed by the issue I talked about yesterday — the major meltdown at The Old Reader‘s server farm. Due to the time it took to get the site back up and running — and the fact that they were still restoring feed items — today’s collection may have a few gaps.
The election campaign is in full swing in Lion’s Arch, and GuildMag also has up-to-the-minute reporting from the front lines.
