A podcast interview with Chris Lye & Matthew Moore on Guildwars 2 at Gamescom

[:1]Hello,
Recently I was lucky enough to go to Gamescom as part of the GameOverCast team, an enthusiast video gaming podcast. One of the highlights for us was that we had the awesome opportunity to interview Chris Lye (Global Brand Director for ArenaNet) and Matthew Moore (QA team) about Guild Wars 2, my personal game of the show so I am hoping more Guild Wars fans will have a listen to what they had to say and our thoughts on the show.
In our impression/preview piece and the interview we cover, amongst other things, the following points
The personal story: How much choice will you have with the RPG elements of your character
How good the dynamic events looked, how they will work
The various PvP options, balance and no more secondary professions
A full PvE world with progression to level 80 in a persistent world
The importance of classes and playstyles

We were also fortunate enough to see a live demonstration – both the Char starting area/character customisation and some of the dynamic events with a member of the development team, John Peters, talking us through it (the rest of the development team were playing the game live In the USA for us to watch)
Its part of Episode 64 of the GameOverCast, we also talk about Prey 2, Halo Anniversary edition and Gears of War 3. You should listen to the entire show because it’s great!
However if you are only interested in the Guild Wars 2 section it starts 1hour 2 minutes in
Get it on our website Episode 64 or HERE on Itunes
Also consider subscribing to the show, it’s pretty awesome (if I do say so myself)
Plus we are giving away Mass Effect Goodies from Gamescom, we got lots of other items which will be given away as prizes for the next few weeks.
