Or we can just discuss all the same stuff here without having to visit another site or to download something.

Dutch Sunshine · May 07, 2010, 07:20 PM // 19:20

Yeah, all true, but our policy is to bring you news in a different manner, we are not there to go and speculate, we're there to state the facts.

Anyway, everyone has to make their own choice wether or not to download the magazine. We are not forcing you to do so..

makafri · May 07, 2010, 07:44 PM // 19:44

some people just love to be an ass... that's why this community is dying... but Im glad that somebody take the time to do this kind of stuff thank you very much downloading the magazine

StormDragonZ · May 07, 2010, 07:56 PM // 19:56

It's cute... but that's all it is.

For the record, any more issues you decide to do should have much, much better editing done. Too many spelling and grammatical errors.

Dutch Sunshine · May 07, 2010, 08:00 PM // 20:00

I'm aware of that fact, but coming closer to this issue just did take away too much time for the most of us to actually check the gramar. For the next issue we'll surely get a better editor to check the magazine at those errors.

Beren985 · May 07, 2010, 08:09 PM // 20:09

Wow. I'm impressed. I wasn't expecting something of this quality. It looks really good! The design and the art are amazing, the only thing that you need now is to convince Blue to draw for you xD I had only time to skim it, I'll dig deeper when I have a little more time, but overall it looks quite good.

Good job!

Jinkies · May 07, 2010, 08:14 PM // 20:14

I think this is really cool and I'd like to see more.

Dutch Sunshine · May 07, 2010, 08:26 PM // 20:26

You'll definitly see more of us, we're already planning ahead for issue 2 and even got some fun articles done already!

*lemming* · May 07, 2010, 08:39 PM // 20:39

i think you guys should cover the monthly

But I may be biased.

Dutch Sunshine · May 07, 2010, 08:43 PM // 20:43

We will have PvP in our next issue, in what form, I cannot say.

Not everybody is fascinated with hexes and seeping would with the occasional 4 eles running around lemming.

^_^ you could have just covered the march monthly and it would have covered for the april one too

Hopefully it will live to Lemming's and Motoko's expectations (Though I highly doubt it

)

Ariovist Lynxkind · May 07, 2010, 10:12 PM // 22:12

Have to say, it does look pretty good. Some may say it is a bit too late for GW, but I hope you guys keep it going cause it will be an interesting thing come GW2

Dutch Sunshine · May 07, 2010, 10:22 PM // 22:22

Ofcourse we looked ahead, and we thought that we would better build up a name now, and then go full-on towards the GW2 release. You will see us in the future, be sure of that

Oster · May 07, 2010, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Pretty cool, I'm glad people are still taking steps to keep Guild Wars alive and interesting.

*Darcy* · May 07, 2010, 11:36 PM // 23:36

Great job. I am impressed by all the work your team has done. As you know, some areas need improvement, but for a first issue, kudos.

Garreth MacLeod · May 08, 2010, 12:00 AM // 00:00

Nice job for the first issue. Didn't have time to read everything...yet. But I liked what I saw. I do agree a little better editing would help. Maybe a run through a spell/grammar checker would help.

Scarlett Romanov · May 08, 2010, 12:14 AM // 00:14

Better editing is needed. I actually wanted to read the MantleCon stuff but the errors made it painful to get through.

Malla13 · May 08, 2010, 12:31 AM // 00:31

That was way more than I was expecting it to be. Grammatical issues aside, this is really nifty. Great work. I'm looking forward to the next one.
