Guild Wars - Eye of the North Developer Diary @ Gameplay Monthly

A new Eye of the North developer diary is online at Gameplay Monthly.

In designing Eye of the North, our first true expansion for the Guild Wars online RPG, we wanted to improve on what worked well in the past, throw out those quest types that gamers routinely hate, design new quests and new quest types that players had never seen before, and give people more options so they could play the game in many different ways, instead of forcing all players down the same path. In short, when it came to quests, we wanted, in the immortal words of Graham Chapman, “to seek the holy grail.”
