In a lengthy behind-the-scenes video featuring footage of Guild Wars 2, the team at ArenaNet outline the company's history and love for the Northwest.

While the video is extremely interesting, it has moments where it could pass for a "Seattle Tourism Video" ... or a short film that asks you to take a swig from a cup of a nearby, mysterious fruit drink. Either way, the end result is a detailed look at an entire team of game makers and how the company was formed.

So often, the game industry focuses on one name as the person responsible for the entire creation of a complete game. For high-profile titles, that isn't the case. This video proves it takes an army to build a war.

    This is the only MMO I'm excited about, and I'm not even sure it's technically an MMO.

      This and Diablo 3, I can't repeat it enough. I hope it comes out soon, otherwise I might die of excitement.

      I never got into WoW or MMOs but this game looks good, the tech seems modern (unlike SW:TOR) and the gamelay concepts sound solid so I will give it a try. No monthly subscription was a huge factor but I am prepared to spend good money on microtransactions; especially for aesthetic/cosmetic options.
