GUILDWARSINSIDER

MMO’s tend to inspire people. Whether its Short Fan created Videos, Comic Strips or Plush Backpacks, people get creative with the adoration of games like Guild Wars 2. However, I can honestly say, I have never seen this kind of devotion extend toward the creation of Fantasy lawsuits. 

3 days ago, Vito Schwam ‘Romana’ brought the case of one Jane Roe before the Superior Court of Divinity’s Reach (a.k.a. the Official ArenaNet Wintersday Forum). The chief charge against the Toymake Tixx is one of negligence. From the transcript:

3. On Day 74 – Season of Colossus, plaintiff attempted to play with said Princess Doll 
®, purchased from TIXX INFINIRARIUM, whereupon said Princess Doll® 
spontaneously began a program wherein a “tantrum” was thrown, to the best of 
knowledge of the Plaintiff, in the general direction of the Plaintiff. Shortly thereafter, 
said Princess Doll® began firing lethal projectiles in, to the best of the Plaintiff’s 
knowledge, the general direction of the plaintiff. Such firing did continue until 
aforementioned Princess Doll® did run out of batteries and cease all homicidal 
activity.

I think any of us who have walked in the country side of Tyria or Ascalon throughout this Wintersday can sympathize with Ms. Doe. I myself saw an errant SylvariTrampled to death by a vicious herd of Wooden Ventari Dolls. It was the most Cruel and Ironic thing I have yet seen in my journeys. 

However, Tixx’s own legal team does make some strong points. From the continued transcripts:

2. Plaintiff JANE ROE, a minor, is a whiny smelly bookah crybaby.

3. Plaintiff JANE ROE, being utterly incapable of appreciating the genius of my client’s creation, and utterly incompetent in its employment, recklessly seeks to destroy his reputation as she recklessly destroyed her own home.

4. Plaintiff JANE ROE is no match for my intellect.

Citizens, I believe it will come down to your own pressures. We have the power to support a wronged child, or defend a crazed Asura who is bound to give us more presents.

I think our choice is clear…

There’s really no substitute for sitting down with a seasonal beverage and reading the whole forum thread in one sitting. There are some hilarious responses, and its great to see the community spirit flare up around this kind of comedy. You can start your reading here. 

There’s been lots of babble and argument over the difficulty of the Mad King’s Clocktower these past few days. Apparently so much so that some people felt the need to prove just how simple it really was. Feast your eyes on this video that demonstrates an Asura (often considered handicapped due to not being able to see their character) quite easily rushing through the jump puzzle in a very tiny window.

 So what do you think now? Is it too hard, or is it just complainers complaining?

Penny Arcade is back and with it a comic strip that again focuses on the hacked accounts found in Guild Wars 2. This time around the main focus is a tad bit different, check it out and drop a comment in the forums telling us if you have been affected by these vile attempts at the sanctity of your characters!

The folks over at Penny Arcade dropped a wicked cartoon about the recent hacked accounts found in Guild Wars 2. Check out the strip and let us know if you are having similar feelings in our forums.

While pursuing for images I came across ArenaNet’s Pinterest page with a number of images they have amassed from cosplay to concept art to cats in collector’s edition boxes

Check out the page and let us know in the forums if you had a cat in your collector’s box
