Naoroji at Guild Wars 2 Guru translated an interview from a Dutch magazine regarding Guild Wars 2. A lot of awesome tidbits were unveiled, racial abilities, underwater exploration and solo, for instance. But The most impressive detail is RTS elements will be added into World PvP.
The World PvP Maps bear a resemblance to RTS-maps and give you a chance to play different roles. You can conquer stone mines, which will then deliver stone by caravan to your catapults, you can attack and cut off caravans of the enemy, you can operate as a scout and inform the rest of hostile movement, you can man watchtowers and defend, or you can just run up to a lost PvP'er and teach him a lesson.
The feline Charr possess new technology which allows them to produce and wield muskets, the Norn are northern warriors that have the ability to shapeshift, the Asura are a small but intelligent race and the Sylvari are an elf-like (? DIE!) plant-race, born from a magic tree that only recently started to blossom...
Lead designer Eric Flannum said:"In a lot of games, water is a hostile environment where you constantly have to look out for running out of breath. We want to encourage fun and exploration underwater, however."
