Like always, after a while, we release our interviews here on our site in text form as well. In this interview first published in GuildMag: Frigid Times, we found out about the purpose of the Dominion of Winds, what has happened with the Maguuma Jungle and plenty more. So far the reactions have been greatly positive about this interview and we hope that you, if you have not yet seen it in our issue (which you should check out!), will enjoy it as well. This year is going to be a promising year and we hope that together with you we can get even more answers to our burning questions!

Before I close off and let you read the interview, I’d like to wish everyone a happy and fantastic new year from GuildMag!

Tengu City! :surprised:
Someone towed the Wizard's Tower! I point a finger at the asura, well-know enthusaists of floating rocks...

My bet? Magi Malaquire, the "immortal" (he's well beyond the age of 1079 by the civil war) pro mage. :cool:

I would love to "squee", but how can this humble Alot do such a thing?

Edit: I think Jeff wanted you to get a nerd squeegasm.

Yes!! An interview <3 reading now..

God, I love these lore interviews. :D

Sigh.. Tengu City, that makes me want more information noooooooow.

Makes me wonder, were the Tengu always floating/flying in the skies?

Yeah, I know, it's a pity, but I hope that when people see these interview that they'll check us out and see that aside of the interview, we also offer some great quality stuff.

Also, I published it now because I wanted to be able to say that we published the last interview of 2010 and the first of 2011 :p

Finally words of the tengu!

I really expected the conflict between the humans and tengu to have a bigger role than some maguman centaurs (lol centaurs were pretty random in gw untill nightfall) that appeared from nowhere and suddenly became the archenemy of the humans (lol never been a fan of centaurs, but tengus now thats some 15 herbs and spices!) :D

Tengus was always native to kryta and letting some unorganized centaurs kick them hard out of their natural environment didn't seem plausible.
I love the tengu lore :P

I was about to say that. It's pretty awkward (to me at least), that people won't download the magazine even if it's just to read the interview, but read it when it's published separately.

Anyway, it's great you do it this way, because it seems you reach a broader audience, and that's awesome! :D

Yup, it's kind of sad, but we got to live with it I guess?

Anyway, it's great to see that many of you liked the interview, it gives me an idea of what you guys actually want to read in an interview :)

I am an eager reader of your magazine (great work btw (jealous :devil:)) but of some reason my computer lags so badly when im reading it so its sort of a living hell to navigate XD
