Time + Boredom + Guild Wars Guru + Photoshop = Gwen Avatars? Apparently.





Now let's see how far these things spread. . . .

I wish I could draw that well. (As opposed to not at all.) I just used pics from the tutorial pages on the Japanese GW site. http://www.guildwars.jp/start/gwen/

I, on the other hand, WOULD GIVE MY LEFT HAND OR MY LEGS FOR A MINI GWEN CHAN!!!

WOOOOOO! GO MINI GWEN CHAN!

But I'd settle for Gwen Chan on the website.

-Err, C S. Lewis
It has nothing to do being mature. Its just a clash of culture's. But if Anet had put in little cutesy anime characters. They know there customers will think of the game in a totally different way. But hey, eastern culture thinks the west is to "emotional". Japanese government especially have said this, because the U.S and Australia, with groups such as Green Peace want to stop whaling. Its funny. I think.

lol, I guess it just comes down to if your a fan of anime and manga or not. I personally like Gwen-chan and think its a cute little way to explain things to new players.

Gwen is an Icon and probably one of the biggest icons in the whole series of guildwars games. Especially for beta players like me who spent a whole year before this game released clicking refresh on the guildwars.com site just waiting for something to change. Every since the first time some one received the tapestry shreds from Gwen, people have been asking whats up with Gwen. she is a mystery and a celebrity to the GW community. So I think she totally needs an appearance on the regular GW site, maybe in her more euro/ameri style art form instead of the ultra-cute Gwen-chan form but I think she so deserves more face time. 2 cents

Because Americans don't appreciate the utter Kawaii-ness of Gwen! I love Gwen in Pre-Searing. I always get as many flowers as I can so she can Monk me where ever I go.

Btw...love the Gwen avatars!!

Only if they also give me a /stompmini emote. Normal Gwen's annoying enough, anime Gwen may actually create some kind of annoyance singularity and destroy the universe.

Well if you really want to be "reminded you're here playing for fun", maybe you should try Lineage than...

I admit, I would worship A-net if they found some way to incorporate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into GW, lol.
