The Obvious Pride in a Game: ArenaNet Developers on Guild Wars 2

Recently I read an article from Arenanet on The Battle of Khylo for the upcoming MMO Guild Wars 2.

One has impressed me so much about the development team for GW2 as opposed to the developers of Rift and SWTOR, is that they actually play the hell out of their own game.

Reading through that blog is like reading pvp strategy from a pro player. They play their game, love their game and it shows in the way they write about it.

Watching the blogs and developers of other games they don't appear to love their game the way the developers of GW2 do. While you'll see publicity type excitement when they are being interviewed, it's how the developers conduct themselves outside of those interviews that matter.

You can see the excitement in the twitter feeds. You can recognize the skill in the way they write about their games. The developers sound like they love their game in a way a gamer likes their game, and it has shown in everything they have done so far.

I am expecting great things from Arenanet and Guild Wars 2. Keep up the good work thus far.
