As gamescom and PAX approach, a fair amount of attention is on ArenaNet -- specifically Guild Wars 2. The prospect of being able to play GW2 for the first time is an exciting one for fans.
ArenaNet has released a few details of what we'll see during gameplay over the past week, including the information that we'll be playing with some staff back at the ArenaNet offices. In the most recent blog post, we hear directly from four of those staffers. Bob Green, Joe Belousek, Anthony Ordon, and Joe Longworth are members of the Guild Wars 2 QA team, the group working to make sure the demo runs smoothly. Check out the latest ArenaNet blog entry to see what they're most looking forward to in the demo.
While the demo is easily the main focus of ArenaNet's presence at these events, there is more to check out while you're there. The event schedule for PAX Prime was finally released yesterday, and it includes a Saturday morning presentation entitled "Guild Wars 2: Designing Dynamic Events." Eric Flannum and Colin Johanson will give insight into how the dynamic event system in GW2 was created -- it's a talk that fans won't want to miss.
It's a ticketed event, so be sure to check the schedule for details on how to attend.

I'm very much looking forward to the first impressions about the gameplay session of GW2 from Gamescom. Here's hoping most of it's positive.

Can't wait to see some Guild Wars 2 footage at Gamescom. Hopefully it's not closed doors or something stupid.

While I won't be attending both events I'm looking forward to see what the eventgoers and the press will have to say about the hands on demos. Finally we get to see if Anet can back up their claims.

Has Guild Wars 2 been confirmed to be of the same payment model as 1?
