Guild Wars 2

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I have been away from GW2 for a while now, can someone update me about what happened to Lions Arch. I have not been following the emails that GW2 has sent and its just a little crazy going there and not know WTF happened and is GW2 new Lions Arch permanent, is it the end of the game whats this going on

The last couple of LS steps have revolved around Lion’s Arch being invaded by Scarlet (the villain of the Living Story). In the city she’s executed to commit murder, property damage, environmentally pollute, and excavate without license, in that order.

As such, LA is not functioning as a hub at this time. If you need any of its facilities (excluding crafting) then you can head to Vigil Keep where everything that was in LA is available (except crafting). If you need to do and personal story steps that involve going to LA, follow the icon on your map to an NPC that will fire off the instance inside (the refurbished) LA for you.

Chances are it might return as a hub in a couple of weeks.

Escape from LA
and then
Battle for LA

As for permanent? Well I don’t expect it to recover anytime soon, it was a pretty massive invasion and battle

Go take a walk around. It sure doesn’t look like it used to.

Thank you all for you time and Reply. All of you answer help me out and now I know what has happened
