Stan this game has no relevance to guildwars1 other than characters and the name.. LOL

on a plus side you can jump now.. and run around with 50+ members spending 10 minutes slogging at a wooden gate.

Very good point though… Guild Wars would imply a fight of guilds.. This should have been called World wars.. or while they are there.. World of… wait.

They should have just named the game World of Tyria.

There is NO point calling something Guild Wars TWO, when the first game was named after historic event.

It’s like having Battle of Alamo 3 or Prague Defenestration 2. It makes no sense.

Well that lore expanation is so kittening CHEAP.
Gw was called so because there was guilds fighting each other (mostly in gvg but even puggy was most guild-related than wvw or spvp). Noone cares about lore.
It’s like pandaria without pandas but with some NPCs holding some books about pandas and full add-on about, let’s say, space marines fighting green pigs in their castles.

In the main story, you aren’t really fighting any guilds. The only thing I can think of is in one of the personal story instances, where Trehearne explains the history of Orr:

They say that Orr was once beautiful. A nation to rival Kryta, Ascalon, and Elona.
The human gods lived in the city of Arah, and the people here were blessed.
After the gods left, the humans banded into guilds and warred upon each other.
The Guild Wars caused great devastation, and the nations faltered.

Sorry Stan, that’s all I got.

I also wondered why it’s called Guild Wars 2 as there seems to be none of that in the story or lore except some references to 250 years past..

BUT,

Hoping in future they’ll extend the lore and add events & factions that bring this in to he game so that it will indeed be the Second Guild Wars.

I live in hope as this game is still very early stages of release so I hope they’ll add lots more relevant & deeper fun stuff in the right direction in future years.
