ArenaNet has updated the events page with a new segment of the Flame and Frost Living Story.

March 26, 2013
A hybrid army erupts through fiery portals in the Shiverpeaks. A Molten Alliance between the dredge and the charr Flame Legion has created a force powerful enough to massacre any who stand in their way. One settlement, one homestead at a time, they’re wiping out all resistance. The razing has begun.

In Flame and Frost: The Razing you’ll meet the norn Braham and Rox the charr, two Tyrians who fervently believe in doing what’s right, no matter the risk. Join Braham and Rox in a desperate battle to defend their homelands from annihilation in the third installment in this four-part series!

So not much information yet, but it's a good taste of what's to come this month!

Indeed.. this four part event has been pretty much pointless.. not the kind of monthly events I was expecting...

You mean something is finally going to happen? This whole event thus far has been completely worthless, it really has. For the most part so far all that we've gotten to do is talk to pointless NPC's and find pointless items to give back to them, that's just lazy design.

So January was just the introduction, February was supposed to be the big one... I can't even get excited for March and April.

Coming soon: Full Ascended gear for 600 laurels and 600 ectos!

Oh look, more NPCs who'll be the center of the story and hog all the glory while we do all the work and get no credit. Just like Kormir, just like Trahearne.

Why can't Anet learn...

Nice rhyme!

But seriously. The "Living" Story is the most dead part of this game right now.

I'd rather not be the center of attention i mean this is a mmo how am I the center of attention when your running around being the center of attention as well to the same set of characters it would make no sense. I like it how it is watching as the world changes(and maybe getting involved with the change) but it's not really changing as much as a living story should if at all. Their is no cause and effect when we slay a series of enemies we don't drive back the opposing force allowing more refugees to get by. We don't understand the cause of this threat in any way besides their is dredge and flame legion and we have made no attempt to find the source and stomp it out. Their is no saving extra lives or losing more people the land isn't burning down or being lost and their isn't a feeling of danger. The living story feels dead that is the issue.

Lots of bitchin' here. Lets put this in perspective, They could do nothing and you'd ACTUALLY get nothing. They do something, regardless of whether it's any good, it IS something. So quit making this seem like it's "nothing happens" when really this about the fact that you're not happy with the results so far. Could Flame and Frost be better? Absolutely, but so could a lot of things, including the responses in this thread. If you're gonna paint ArenaNet's effort as "nothing happens" then I'm going do the same with all this crying....a bunch of nothing. Show me a good reason why I should read your post. Quit wasting my time!

And just like Cynn, Mhenlo and the rest of the gang right?

Funny how people don't take issue with them even though they all play the same role in the story as Trahearne and Kormir. What's even more entertaining is the fact that they aren't even [i]there[/i] in the story. They're just henchmen sitting in outposts. Huh.

A pretty crayon drawing of a human and charr child holding hands made just for me was all the recognition I needed to feel a hero :)

This reminds me of how they released the last bits of content for GW1.  It was hard to get into or care about the story since the updates were so spaced out.  It's like reading a book and putting it down for a month after completing each chapter.  Why would you do that?!

That, I admit, Wasatch nice reward:) too bad you couldn't keep it if you used it.

That's the sort of thing I'd love to hang up in a house, like I do in LOTRO.

More likely to be a norn though.
Hope it didn't crush anything.

They always said March was the real beginning to the story. They're transitioning from world events to living story and we've had a downtime of two months with some filler content. It's not a big deal guys. I guess they could have just had no story content for two months like most MMO's would. If they'd done it that way none of you would have even noticed.
