I figured it would be very un-fun.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the opposite was true. Sure, I couldn&#8217;t play hands-on, but I enjoyed all the <em>Guild Wars 2<\/em> news flooding out of Gamescom just the same. I imagine being there would have made it impossible to take in all of these details from every direction &mdash; it just would have been too overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it&#8217;s not sour grapes. I would have loved to be there! But since I couldn&#8217;t, I&#8217;m really enjoying my bird&#8217;s-eye view, so to speak. Even from this point of view, the amount of new information we have is nearly impossible to keep track of, so for <em>Flameseeker Chronicles<\/em> this week, I thought I&#8217;d take all that we&#8217;ve heard this week and try to distill it into a guide on where you can find information.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s felt a bit like trying to take an octopus and 15 of his closest friends and convince them all to fit comfortably in one small sandwich baggie, but I&#8217;ve done my best.
