Guild Wars 2

Hi all, and quick question: can anybody tell me what the story reasoning behind WvWvW is, or where I can find that information? I mean things like: so we seem to be entering the mists and battling there, but who are we fighting (story-context wise) and why? Why does what we do there have an effect in the real world or Tyria?

Thanks a bunch for any and all answers/comments &

Cheers

Now I may have totally misunderstood the events leading me to this analysis but I believe The Mists are an allusion to the norse afterlife. Valhalla & Fólkvangr or more specifically Vígríðr, the battleground where fighting takes place continuously until the Ragnarok.

It does not directly play into any piece of the Guild Wars 2 server and is meant purely as a means to facilitate s/tPvP being outside the real game and WvW being between different servers.

One day, one guy killed a dude and a red circle appeared. He stood in it and the circle turned green. He then said “this is my territory now!”. The man he killed came back with buddy, and slayed man one. They both then stood on the red circle, which turned from green to red. The green man then came back with two buddies, and killed the two red guys. So now all three stood on the red circle, making it green. When the circle progression was almost complete, a group of 5 blue men killed the three green men. They then claimed it for blue. Red, got sick of this, and brought 10 people.they killed the blue men, took the circle, and then erected a keep. Green team tried to attack the keep but couldn’t break the door, so they built their own keep. Blue team did the same. Now red team saw green teams keep, and charged it with 25 people. Then green team reacted and built arrow carts to fight them off. Blue team had an advance research and development team, and proceeded to build golems to attack a keep. They brought 30 people. Red team then invented cannons to stop the golems, and retaliated by creating the trebuchet. They sieged blue keep with 50 people and 6 trebuchets. Green team took this opportunity and built a castle in the middle. They then hit red from behind with 70+ people. Then blue team saw their error, and created towers to protect their keeps. Green and red did the same. Now everyone is attacking the center castle, and everyone brought 100 people to the fight.

Thus, an eternal battle began, because of one man, and one circle.

To my understanding the mist are a real place linking various parts of reality and alternate universes. In gw1 if i remember correctly the gods hosted a pvp tournament so the strongest could test themselves. So my understanding would be that basically the mist war is the gods or just different realities that have some how linked up to test each other and see who is stronger.

There is no reason and no story, only war :P

If you played Planescape Torment this is like it’s version of hell, the Blood War, an eternal war. Or like the Valhalla myths of the Vikings.
