Guild Wars 2

These are to promote the new book, Sea of Sorrows; I was lucky to receive my copy last week, thanks to Amazon Canada, and I’ve been engrossed in it yet haven’t finished it quite yet.

I was excited for the Marriner’s Plaques, because I wanted to see the little spots I read about put in the spotlight in the game. However, I read the one at Macha’s Landing – big mistake.

These are supposed to promote the book, Anet, not slap us in the face with spoilers.

To my fellow bookreaders: do not read these plaques until you have finished the book. I now fear running into more spoilers, and will be putting this off until I finish the book, and I suggest others do the same if they are only partially or midway through.

Thanks for the warning. I haven’t started the book yet. And was curious if these were spoilers or not. So good to know not to touch it until I finish.

You’re welcome; a guildmate of mine had no idea, either. I thought it would be best to warn the forums. :x

Read and loved the book Great addition to the lore bridging GW1 and GW2. I just wish it was out last year.

It is great! There’s nothing wrong with the books – the problem is the plaques contain minor to major spoilers of the book, and that’s not good promotion for it at all.

Ha, hadn’t thought of that. I read it prior to doing them, but that’s a good point.

It’s really great, though, to have the relevant areas from the story given a bit of highlighting in the game world. I had a couple of them wrong in my visualization of the city as I read the book.
