The days are getting longer, Phil the groundhog has confirmed that we will get an early spring, and there is a certain smell in the air. This can only mean one thing: convention season is upon us! We’re extremely thrilled to kick off the 2011 season by travelling to PAX East to meet our East Coast fans once again!
“But, Martin, what do you have in store for us?” I hear you say. Good question, I’m glad you asked.
We’ve got a lot planned for PAX East this year, but let’s get to the one thing you’ll probably be most excited about: the charming and handsome Colin Johanson will be at the show! Oh, and in addition to Colin we will have a brand new Guild Wars 2 demo for you, with loads of new content. What kind of new content? We’ll talk about that in greater detail at a later date—we don’t want to spoil everything at once.
Come meet ArenaNet devs in person at the NCsoft PAX East Meet and Greet on Friday, March 11 at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. This is your chance to hang out with your favorite developers, score some sweet loot, and play the Guild Wars 2 demo on one of 20 demo stations. This event will be open to everybody, so keep in mind that admission will be limited to the capacity of the venue.
What would a convention be without panels? On Saturday, March 12 at PAX East, ArenaNet will host the “Guild Wars 2 – Fantasy MMO Redefined” panel. This discussion runs from 3PM to 4PM, and will feature Colin Johanson, Jon Peters, Tirzah Bauer, and more. In addition, Colin will also be part of the MMORPG.com panel “The Future of Online Games” at 5 PM at the Naga Theater. He’s a busy guy!
But that’s not all, folks. Our very own Community wizard Regina Buenaobra will be featured on two panels at PAX East this year: “What the Heck is a Community Manager?” on Friday, March 11 at 3:30 PM and “One of Us” on Sunday, March 13 at 12:00 PM. All times are subject to change, of course.I hope this post made you feel as excited about PAX East 2011 as we are. Keep an eye open for further announcements about even more Guild Wars 2 goodness at PAX East. We hope to meet you there!
