GuildCast 38: It's Alive!

Welcome to a new era. This is the first GuildCast with Guild Wars 2 out live and for all to dive into. The game most of us have been waiting for with hand-wringing impatience finally launched Friday night -- for the Pacific folks at least -- and we jumped in with the gusto you would expect. After the launch party, we went our separate ways and explored. Dynamic events, personal story, leveling curve, tradeskills and so much more are captivating many people. We give our take on the world that ArenaNet built. There are already a number of level 80s roaming around, just how far did our hardened band of MMO buccaneers get? And with this game, does it really matter? There's certainly no doubt that the experience of headstart varied wildly from person to person. There have been and continue to be issues with the game related to the highly successful launch. Over 400,000 concurrent users this weekend explains the massive strain put on the Guild Wars 2 servers. We look at just what has been going on and how ArenaNet has responded. We rate the initial live experience for us as individuals. Do you agree with our ratings? Let us know below. There are some interesting viewer questions to round off a show full of the joys of launch. With GAMEBREAKER's Gary Gannon are ZAM's Scott Hawkes, Massively's Elisabeth Cardy and Richie "Bogotter" Procopio. It's the number one Guild Wars 2 show on the 'net! It's GuildCast!
