Guild Wars: Eye of the North preview - Dungerons and The Asura

Filed in archive MMORPG on June 2, 2007

IGN has a Guild Wars Eye of the North (GWEN) article up where Ben Miller of ArenaNet discusses the concept of Dungeon as well as the new race of the Guildwars universe: The Asura who are an integral part of GWEN. Eye olf the North will feature the so called "Asura Gates" which will connect players and the existing world with the worlds in GWEN. Reminds me a bit of Stargate, actually. These gates provide travel to remote locations not possible through standard methods of travel.

It's been two short years since our first game, Guild Wars Prophecies, launched. In that time we've released two standalone campaigns that have expanded lore, increased the number of playable professions, widened skill sets, and have given players more control over their party members. Our current project, Guild Wars: Eye of the North, is our first true expansion, and one that we truly feel is a fitting coda that will guide players through the end of one epic story into the next evolution of the series, Guild Wars 2. We want Guild Wars to go out with a bang and leave a lasting impression on players, so we've decided to delve deep into RPG history in an attempt to recreate the thrill of the classic dungeon crawl.
