Guild Wars 2 opened its doors to prepurchase players Friday night, kicking off a somewhat rocky headstart, depending whom you ask. Massively spent the preceding week delivering news and videos for the genre's latest blockbuster; namely, we previewed Twilight Arbor, gem store items, character dances, and racial armor, and then we discussed GW2 e-sports, the Tyrian economy, and account linking. That's a lot of stuff!
Expect even more goodies in time for the official launch Tuesday, but for now, check out the rest of our top MMO stories, helpfully located in Divinity's Reach. I mean, behind the break.
