Just out of curiosity, where did you see this? When I thought of Vekk as a young asuran, I thought it'd be something in the likes of 40-50 human years, curious to see they can live for centuries.

Razah?

Kormir?
The envoys?

And spirits live forever, as far as i know, so if all of our heroes die, we can still see them...

edit:

We WILL be seeing Palawa Joko.
The Norn do not live that much, all norn we know will be dead by GW2.
The Asura do not live that much, all asura we know will be dead by GW2.
The Charr do not live that much, all charr we know will be dead by GW2.
The Centaur do not live that much, all centaur we know will be dead by GW2.
Do i have to say the humans do not live that much?
We CAN be seeing Jalis Ironhammer, because he turned into stone therefore he wont get older. The rest of the dwarves dissapear, and the dwarves also do not live that much...

No matter what happens I truly believe the Scepter of Orr is coming back into play in GW 2. The Scepter itself could play a vital role in the city of Orr’s fate once again.

Furthermore, I believe the Queen of Kryta has some ties to the Scepter herself. Since it’s hard not to see a common factor between what Livia wanted for her people at the end and what happened to Kryta to pull all the races/factions together (no civil war).

Livia to me did not learn her lesson from her past experiences. She tells Vekk after his father passing, "always remember, he gave us a great victory," and for the Epilogue she say’s "you survived. I’m pleased. When I return to Kryta, I shall say that heroes still exist in the world. But first, there is another place I must go... a little city called Arah...”

The cut-scene where you see Livia about to take the scepter and then shy away from it, was to me a teaser of the possibility. I’m not saying the queen is Livia or a distant relative of hers, but there is just way too many coincidences to dismiss the idea all together.

Well, with the whole Chronomancer theory, we may get the chance to go back in time to go to Orr

Don't forget G.O.X.! They even kinda hint at it in Zinn's Secret Lair.

Zinn: "G.O.X. isn't stupid! It's very advanced!"
G.O.X: "*AD-VAN-CED*"
Zinn: "One day G.O.X. you will be just like M.O.X. Isn't that right, G.O.X.?"

The Dragon you are talking about is in Daladad Uploads if I remember and is also known as the Lake Dragon at the moment isnt it?

i know all this already ._. i'm not a noob. i am reffering to the fact that aNet said the dragons of GW (meaning the ones int he EotN) have a HUUUUUGE part in GW 2. THAT is what i am extremely curious about.

Maybe just a few kind words to encourage a "child like" golem? Either way, I am excited at the new tidbit of information we received

I'll have to do some digging. I recall this being said, but can't recall where. I'm looking now.

You need to get your facts straight.

Norn - lifespan unknown
Asura - lifespan either centuries or unknown
Centaurs - lifespan centuries
Dwarves - lifespan centuries. We can probably see a few (as very old or stoned), but they did NOT disappear, they have just gone extremely deep into the depths that they are basically lost to all travelers - not to mention they are obsessed with hunting down the remaining Destroyers - won't be surprised to see some helping us fight Primordus.

Agreed. Rather big give away in EN tbh.

The Queen is Sarah and her descendants - granddaughter or great granddaughter by the time of GW2. There is a link between the Queen of Kryta and magic, don't know any current link between the Krytan Royal Family and the Scepter of Orr.

The link would be that the Krytan Royal Family is (supposedly) descendants of King Doric - who's blood was used to seal the bloodstones. Unconfirmed still though - I think.

Doubt it. If the Chronomancer gets put into GW2, I think it will act similar to a current day monk. That is, speed up hex/condition duration (or reverse time to when you didn't have such thing), expand the duration of hex/conditions on enemies (time freeze scenario), and slow down/stop enemy's perception of time (slower movement/attack/casting speed). I don't see Chronomancers acting like a full blown time machine.

I found nothing new or interesting about Guild Wars 2. It was a alright read however.

garethporlest18 · Nov 12, 2008, 11:24 PM // 23:24

Scepter of Orr could be the key or link to a weapon/s or something of that nature in which we bring about the demise of said ancient dragon/s.

As for who we'll see, I'm inclined to agree with Azazel up there. Zhedd maybe, Vekk maybe, some other Asurans we worked with maybe. Joko maybe, we'll most likely be seeing most if not all of the gods, including Kormir. I'm sure we'll run into ghosts as well. Knowing Anet, I'm sure there will be a few or a number of GW easter eggs.

As for a GW 2 date, looks like 2010.

I still have my hopes for a late '09 release... Don't take them away from me

The impression I had from Ogden was that he was foregoing the transformation for now because he felt that the change in mind through the ritual would make him unsuited as the player's advisor and healer - but that he intended to undergo the transformation in the end.

Certainly, though, I believe it was mentioned in the Movement of the World that there are a few stone dwarves still around.

aaje vhanli · Nov 13, 2008, 05:40 AM // 05:40

Meh. Nothing I hadn't already known or anticipated with reason.

None the less, new interviews and any dribbles of information on GW2 is always welcome.
