Naked Man in Gunnar's Hold

And here is the story of the strange mannequin: Long ago, we have placeholder art in the game, and sometimes, with several people working on a map, we'd forget about a piece and leave it in. "How can we make it more obvious that things need attention in an area? How can we catch the attention of everyone to note 'Danger, unfinished art here?" they mused. And some artist, being an excellent random thinker as many artists are said, "I know, let's put a naked man in the middle of the map, as a marker that all is not finished with that area!" A round of huzzahs, and another round of beers -- I did mention this conversation took place at 2:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning, right, in a tiny pub in downtown Bellevue, right? -- and the Naked Man of Guild Wars was born.

What was he doing in Bukdek Byway? No idea! That area is finished, nothing to see here, move along, move along. But seeing him there brought a sentimental tear to my eye. Or did that tear come from laughing so hard that we've shocked a couple million players with naked people? As they say, generally speaking, "No nudes is good nudes." This time its probably an easter egg to shock people
