Guild Wars 2

So I was going through the Marriner Plaque achievement using Dulfy’s guide. I noticed a change to the text on one of the plaques. The old version was far more epic than the current. Is it known why this change was made? Maybe this is old news. First pic is from dulfy’s page and shows the old version. Second is what is in game now.

Possibly the first version was too much a spoiler for the book?

I suppose so. Still, it’s a bit of a shame that such an epic text was edited just to not spoil the book. From an in-game lore perspective, why would they not mention she sacrificed her life? I don’t think they should have changed it, books be taffed.

She wasn’t a councillor, so there was a text error that needed fixing, and the sacrificing bit is stated in another plaque near Claw’s Portage Waypoint. That plaque’s old text holds no relevance to Macha’s Landing, since the docks were named such due to Macha’s importance in establishing Lion’s Arch.

The docks were named when LA was founded Not...after she died?

The docks were named after Cobiah refounded LA after the wave. Says it in one of the chapters that it was named after Macha. I’d find the exact page but i dont have the patience.

Ah okay. I thought it was maybe after the whole ordeal. Wasn’t sure.
