Necessity?[edit]

Having notes and trivia points referencing PAX in relevant articles is one thing (example: "*Tequatl Rising was unveiled at PAX 2013."), but does the wiki really need an entire page dedicated to PAX just because ANet participates? This really seems to be skirting the bounds of relevancy. Azure Fang (talk) 23:43, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Guild Wars 1[edit]

Should we include the expos that they went to that do not include any mention of Guild Wars 2? 2008, for instance, does not have any relevance to GW2. AnastashaRomanov (talk) 07:13, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

2018[edit]

I have a picture of Bessie the griffon from the PAX 2018 News page. File:Bessie.jpg. Feel free to add it in. I'm not sure how to make it a reasonable size on the page. AnastashaRomanov (talk) 07:21, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Many people will have a chance to play the demo this weekend, getting a firsthand look at the new professions and content. Many more will rely on videos and the impressions written by those who do attend.

The Battle of Kyhlo – Jonathan Sharp on PvP[edit]

August 17

Earlier this week Jon Peters talked about the core structure of PvP in Guild Wars 2. Today, Jonathan Sharp talks about the first map ArenaNet are revealing, the Battle of Kyhlo—a map you can play at the upcoming PAX and gamescom shows. Read the ArenaNet blog for a break down of the map, some general tactics and strategy, and how each class can help their team.

This may take a while to actually add to other pages, but I thought it would be more helpful gathered in one place. AnastashaRomanov (talk) 08:15, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
