Guild Wars 2

I often like to reflect on then and now type things, so I went hunting for pictures of the original design of the Sylvari, but this is the best I could do.

I found it disturbing though that you can no longer reach the original article which described the redesign however. Anyone know what happened with it? I found a link, but it’s broken, and it doesn’t look like ANet maintain a blog anymore.

You can use the Wayback Machine for any of the old archived blogs/articles, etc.

Good luck.

Thanks for reminding me how horrible the first Sylvari designs were.
Humans with leafy skin diseases. O_o

So glad they got it right, but now I don´t trust even my own Saladheads anymore due to the Mordy business.

I want that version of Sylvari as a playable race! Maybe we can eventually find them in the Woodland Cascades, but they can be a “new” race instead of Sylvari. At least all the armor would already fit them.

If you are interested, there was a huge thread back in the day on the Guild Wars 2 Guru.

The initial post does a decent job of bringing up all the topics of sylvari discussion back in the day.
