At today's Summer Game Fest, one reveal in particular had me leaning forward with great interest: a follow-up to Guild Wars 2, a game I have well over a thousand hours in.
It's where I experienced one of my most treasured MMO thrills ever: completing the mapwide boss encounter Dragon's Stand for the first time. It's also where I sat through an equally unforgettable disappointment: the conclusion to the Icebrood Saga, which sped through a lore event that had been hyped up for years beforehand only to deliver a notoriously flat anticlimax.
