I’m about to unleash the geek. It doesn’t happen very often, but here we go…
OH MY F*CKING GOD IT LOOKS A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!11111111111
*Ahem*
That would roughly be translated as ArenaNet, over on their official YouTube channel, have just released a video tour of Guild Wars 2’s Lions Arch. Despite reading Guild Wars 2’s books, my knowledge of Guild Wars lore is limited. I do know however that it was once the main city of the Kingdom of Kryta and the primary trading port of the continent of Tyria. After 200 years have passed though, I have no idea what Lions Arch is now besides a stunning place to wildly run around in.
There really doesn’t have to be any more words to this post. Hit the Read More for the footage, with my personal recommendation to watch it in 1080p. Enjoy!
[edit] ArenaNet have just put up an accompanying blog post for the video, here.

This location will end up being the “high level hub” for GW2 (with the “racial cities” being the lower level hubs when you’re getting started) and without a doubt ArenaNet has pulled out the stops to present their gamers with a truly magnificent city for them to use as home base.
I know LA will be the home for all of my characters once they are high enough level to get there… I can almost smell the sea air and hear the cries of the gulls already!
It looks stunning Lew, I just hope the world that ArenaNet have crafted is worth exploring and walking around!
The place does look so nice, I wish they’d done a few more long shots to capture the scope rather than so many fast cuts. Oh well.
Curse you work internet blocking YouTube! Curse you O2 for taking 10 days to set up my internet in my new home! I want to see this!
