The third Guild Wars book will apparently be The Sea of Sorrows by Ree Soesbee, Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 writer responsible for lore. Her writings were the best parts of human, norn and charr weeks at guildwars2.com. Presumably she'll write stories for asura and sylvari week when those come later.

Thanks Guybrush, something to look forward to.

NC Soft, Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 publisher (but not developer, that's Arenanet), is going to make some big announcement this weekend at San Diego's Comic-Con. Naturally, lots of Guild Wars 2 fans hoping its the release date, but NC Soft does have other games in the works.

Hmmmm....so soon the waiting may be over.

This blog on the comic con http://www.arena.net/blog/arenanet-is-heading-to-comic-con has a header graphic titled asura_blog_header fueling speculation that Asura week is coming. I hope so hasn't been a race week in some time. After Asura, only Sylvari would be left and they've supposed to have redone the sylvari art work. When they do demoes now and a sylvari appears they tell people "the sylvari don't look like that anymore" but haven't yet revealed what they do look like now.

In that case, let's hope you are right.

Oops I got the NC Soft announcement date and location wrong. Its not at this weekends convention in California, its not until mid August in Germany.

This weekends convention probably not going to have any GW2 news. Arenanet is there but they've said its not a major convention for them and they mostly expect people who are not already knowledgeable about GW2.

Ahhhh so back to waiting.

Sylvari week will come before Gamescom and sylvari will be playable at the demo at Gamescom. Sounds like the sylvari were finished before the asura, which is a big suprise.

Get Ready For GamesCom - notice that asura and sylvari will be playable for the first time in the latest demo

Thanks Guybrush!

While waiting to see if we get asura week this week or not I thought I'd post this link to a fan made Guild Wars 2 comic: Dynamic Events - Guild Wars 2 Webcomic - the plot is a young man moves into an apartment in Lions Arch, the city where the races meet and find himself living with a female charr (he didn't know she was female), a "male" sylvari, a male asura (rarely seen) and now a female norn, whom he just discovered can transform herself into a wolf. The norn is attracted to him, oddly enough. His sister is infatuated with the sylvari, who looks basically male but is in fact an intelligent plant.

Thanks Guybrush

No asura week.

According to an interview given to a Polish magazine sylvari cannot produce offspring, only the Pale Tree produces more sylvair, though they can otherwise mimic humanoid behavior.

Thanks Guybrush.
