Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I am not sure if this is the right place but I would like to know your thoughts whether ANet and a possible publisher could give us a book that would give us a background of Tyria is and its rich history from the first GW to its expansion to the current. I know everything is on the Wiki site but something physical with illustrations is what I personally wanted to.

I am also one of those people that hate books with blocks of text but I enjoyed reading Diablo 3: Book of Cain and Book of Tyrael including the Word of Warcraft Ultimate Visual Guide. Recently, I purchased the same for Assassin’s Creed (Encyclopedia 3rd Ed). These books just details the important characters, synchronized events and give them visual life.

I don’t like novels as it makes me fall asleep and I am just looking for a coffee table book with artistry and summary of what the game is all about. I enjoy playing the game for a year now with 17k AP but I could not feel the depth and roots tracing to the original GW. Maybe it is one of the reasons why I feel Scarlet Briar is a bland nemesis.

Sample game books that are not novels and not just pure art:

By the way I am scanning through this subforum and I realize a lot of people are asking question here and there about the lore. This simply means a lot are interested but its hard to get the pieces of information in-game or through wiki. Perhaps a compilation is really something essential.

Easy listening from Wooden Potatoes, it’s basic enough to get the story of GW1 (the very first one, he’s working on the expansions) in a narrative sense, since it seems like you just want the plotline.

Thanks for sharing, this is awesome. I understand that it is still a work in progress. Not to discredit woodenpotatoes, I have respect for the guy and his works, but I am still personally inclined if Anet and NCsoft would publish an original material from their end.
