more about making of GW?

What I miss a bit, are more informations about the designing of Guildwars, like (examples):

How was the dance of the female necro made. Was there a real dancer who performed? Who had the idea of the dance?

How was a mission like say Gate of Madness designed (including its somehow funny master-part)? Or the horrible Dzagonur Bastion. At least with a devilish smile of 'Let's see how they will cope with that" I guess

How do the beautiful realistic sceneries come into existence? Are they completely invented or are there any real landscapes that inspired? And what about the Jade Sea?

Actually I imagine that it must make a lot of fun to implement all this. Great job done. All my compliments to the designers and programmers!

In the collectors edition of Nightfall you get a making of dvd, a lot of things are shown on it inside the studio.

Ahh thanks for that hint! I got the CE, but never checked the Making of DVD.

Ah, the necro dance was based on a small part of the dance performed in Michael Jackson's Thriller music video. If that was what you were asking.~

EDIT:

OT

*looks at post after her own*

You know, I'm just waiting for some jaded chap to make some snide remark at all the 'Ahh'ing.

Ahh, a movie in itself.

EDIT:

*Looks at post before her... I mean his own*

If only I'd paid more attention. That could've been me.

zomg nerfgunz.

I got the CE but never bothered watching the DVD. now I will.

Lots of content is playtested with "Bamph!" on skillbar.

You can also check out some GWEN videos - they were made on dev machine, you can see that they have standardized templates for playtesting professions in normal way.
