Is there a postmortem for Guild Wars? - Guild Wars Forums

As a student enrolled in a school that has a focus on teaching video game programming stuff, I thought I'd ask if there is a post postmortem for Guild Wars.

I think it'd be an interesting read if there is. So if anyone knows if it exists (and if one does, where I can get a copy to read), please let me know.

Thanks.

BTW: For those that don't know, a postmortem in relation to a game is a review of the development process, summing up what went right, wrong, and lessons learned, more or less.

Postmortem assumes something is dead, look again.

A living game is dynamic and evolving, as is Guild Wars. Game Updates are documented on Guildwars.com and PvP studies are routinely published in articles on the Guild Wars.com site as well.

If you desire a postmortem on a game, google up Asheron's Call 2.

There would be a postmortem for each phase/chapter/etc. from a project management standpoint. Thats not the sort of thing that the developers would be posting or leaking to the public though.

You would be much better off contacting ANet, but you won't get info like that from them easily.
