Ever since the players set foot on Southsun Cove back in November 2012, they were amazed by its beautiful sceneries. The inhabitants of the island, the fearsome Karka, have made a name for themselves, be it either with their peculiar appearance or with their pretty annoying, yet challenging, skillset. One thing was for sure though, this tropical paradise was lacking of a very important factor, content.

Utilizing the Living World concept, the developer team pays a visit to this certain corner of Tyria, once again, with the upcoming release, called “The Secret of Southsun”. The patch, which is to hit our clients tomorrow, will revise certain parts of the island, while presenting a short story that takes place on top of it.

“The time has come to avenge those who lost their lives, to lead their spirits back home. It is the time to hunt those blindfolded beasts down, back to their nest. We shall chase each and every last one of them! We shall spit over their lifeless boiling bodies for Retribution!”

April has come and gone, waving us goodbye with yet another Guild Wars 2 release. The polishing cycle is almost over, as this update introduces us to some of the last few required features that Colin Johanson mentioned a couple of months ago. In addition to this, a new dungeon will open its’ gates today and although it will be in game for a limited time only, it is promised to come along with some brand new rewards.

Ever since the glorious times of the original Guild Wars, ArenaNet had laid the foundations for a very sweet tradition. April Fools’ had always been a day to look forward to, a day full of unique in-game interactions to bury yourself into. This time around you can expect an 8-bit 3D world, fully implemented inside Guild Wars 2. No joke there... I can assure you that this is going to blow you away!

I don’t want to spoil too much, because everything that went into the game today is just pure fun. Don’t waste any more time! Go there now, even though the Super Adventure Box is going to stick around for the remainder of April. Head over to Rata Sum and join the bauble train!

I remember a discussion I had once, on whether or not MMOs are able to feel alive. Imagine a World that changes around you. A World that introduces you, every other day that goes by, to new adventures, new stories to lose yourself into. A brand new World.

Well, such a dream is about to go live tomorrow, along with a list of brand new features to pick from. For me, though, culling something out of that list isn’t an easy task.

Introducing you to “The Razing”, the third chapter of the “Flame and Frost” saga.

Something huge is about to hit our clients today. There’s a storm coming and I can sense that some of you may not even be aware of it.

February’s update is almost here and it’s bringing along lots of goodies. From Guild Missions to sPvP, further changes on the daily achievements system and even the long awaited “item preview” feature that’s going to be implemented in the Trading Post, this patch has something to please every kind of player.
