[Jenn]

A couple staff on Guild Wars 2 Guru were fortunate enough to be able to represent Curse at the second CBT (closed beta test) for Guild Wars 2. This CBT was aimed at the press, and we'll all have a chance to share our experiences for you. We have loads of videos, from character customization to tours of some of the major cities! We did not have access to the sylvari or asura, or the microtransaction system, but we do have some great stuff on the human, norn and charr! And yes, the mesmer.

Ready, set, GO!

Note that some articles are marked as 'coming soon.' We got so much content over the weekend that we're still processing it!
