Guild Wars 2

So WvW takes place in the mists, which to my understanding means that these events have taken place already, or will at sometime in the future. Other than that, is there anything else we know about what’s going on? I know it’s probably a stretch, but is there any lore speculation as to why we’re fighting in WvW?

The worlds as we know it, are simply alternate dimensions of our same world we play on. The Mist opens up the dimensions to one another. The Dimensional people see each other as outsiders and must be destroyed. So they go to war against each other.

Game mechanic wise each world has different people, but lore wise, all Worlds have the same people. So your character exist in other worlds, just not gameplay wise of course.

Destroying the people from other dimensions is all very well and good, but what’s our motivation for controlling all these keeps and towers? Our worlds magically benefit from that just because? Some background on how and why we get the passive buffs would be nice.

Well those are simply part of the war. gain land and terrtory in the enemy lands.

The WvW lore wise takes place in the mist, which connects all these parallel dimensions.

I believe the towers and keeps are just the game mechanics for War structures like in a RTS game, without actual building.

Maybe in WvW we are just the pawns of a giant RTS game for the Mist deities.

The mist is the area where the dead and the gods reside. Originally the gods didn’t want the living there but then decided it was interesting to host tournaments for their own enjoyment. So that y pvp takes place there. Basically the clif notes version
