Europe's largest game expo is getting ready for plenty of Guild Wars 2 goodness, as ArenaNet will be bringing its highly anticipated fantasy MMO to the Cologne convention that runs from August 17th to August 21st.
In a new post on the company blog, Martin Kerstein gives us an idea of what we can expect from the NCsoft demo booth. The playable GW2 build will include all seven professions revealed thus far, the complete Charr starter experience, and a mid-level demo featuring powerful Orrian enemies (and Sylvari and Asura playable characters).
Last but not least, gamers will finally get their hands on Guild Wars 2's character customization system as well as its PvP component. Hands-on PvP experiences will be available, and players can also watch exhibition matches between developers and select European players.

Seriously, Massively? Seriously. I love you. I visit here almost every day. So, respectfully and with best intentions: why do your writers consistently feel compelled to reference articles elsewhere on the web and then not provide links for what they actually talking about?
I'd love to discuss this topic, adding a link to the relevant content for our ease-of-use would be an excellent blogging standard to adopt (IMO).

@j1083 I mean, yes, GIS isn't hard, but Ctrl+V isn't, either:

Goooooood! What in the bloody realms of Asgard does it take for this kind of awesome to happen closer to home for me? I will shave a Norn's beard, I will clean an Asuran's ears, I will prune a Sylvari's hair...! Hell! I'll even groom a Charr!
Just get this closer to where I live so I can finally get a chance to screw around with the game and the customization!

GW2 is the second coming of sliced bread.

I hope they smoothed out the animations for humans, too. They were quite choppy

@Ren54
We've had plenty of details. PvP and character customization are two of the last major things we haven't seen discussed.
