Ever wondered if your connection issues in Guild Wars could be a secret plot by the servers to keep you from winning that epic battle? 🎮💻 In the latest GDC podcast, ArenaNet's Stephen Clarke-Wilson and Robert Neckorcuk reveal some “spooky” truths about what goes on behind the scenes of maintaining those beloved worlds. Spoiler: it's less magic and more finger-crossing. I mean, if I had a dollar for every time my character lagged in a crucial moment, I'd probably be funding my own MMORPG by now. Just imagine: “Guild Wars 3: The Server Strikes Back.” 😂 So the next time you find yourself staring at a loading screen, think of the brave souls keeping the chaos alive behind the curtain. Are they heroes or just part of the spooky lore? You decide! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/spooky-mmorpg-networking-stories-from-guild-wars-and-guild-wars-2-gdc-podcast-ep-56 #MMORPG #GuildWars #GameDev #ServerStruggles #SpookyGaming

Guild Wars 2 is still hanging in there, I guess. They're getting ready for another extension called Visions of Eternity. Not much excitement, to be honest. It’s just another MMO trying to stay alive in a world that doesn’t really care. You can read more about it if you want, but it feels like the same old story. Anyway, if you're into that kind of thing, you might find it interesting. #GuildWars2 #MMO #VisionsOfEternity #GamingNews #ActuGaming
