For our final Beta Weekend Event (July
20-22), we’re making the asura and sylvari races available to beta
players for the first time. Players will be able to create characters
from any of the five main races of Tyria—human, norn, charr, asura, and
sylvari—and begin their
Guild Wars 2 experience in any of the five radically different home regions.
For asura players, this means beginning your tale in Metrica
Province, a vivid, exotic jungle area full of high-tech laboratories,
quirky golems, and competing krewes of mad scientists. Nearby, the
massive monoliths of the asuran capital Rata Sum hum with technomagical
power. These diminutive geniuses may seem cute at first glance, but
never underestimate an asura…
Sylvari players begin their story in the Grove, a luminous living
city nestled in the shade of the Pale Tree, the “mother” of every member
of this young race of plant humanoids. The sylvari are an enigmatic
race of chivalrous explorers who are driven by an insatiable curiosity
and guided by a collective Dream.
If you’ve played in previous beta events, you know that each playable
race has its own distinct regions, signature city, and personal
storyline options. But above all, each race in
Guild Wars 2 has its own identity, and the asura and sylvari perfectly illustrate this.
We can’t wait to see players drinking in the mystical atmosphere of
the Grove or stopping alchemagical experiments running amok in Metrica
Province during our last Beta Weekend Event before launch. If you want
to reserve a spot in the beta, pre-purchase your copy of
Guild Wars 2 today.
We’ll see you in-game on July 20-22! Excelsior!
