Even more action is coming to Guild Wars 2’s Dragon Bash festival, and this new addition may put a stop to the entire party. Releasing over the next three days, a new story is added to the activities of Dragon Bash.

In each article of The Scrying Pool, I look at what is and what could be. After taking a look at what is present in Guild Wars 2 now, be that lore or game mechanics, I then ask What If? What if this happened in the lore or this feature was added in a future patch.

About a month ago The Scrying Pool talked about the Living Story. The Flame and Frost content had just released its final patch with the new story arc in Southsun not yet released. That article was focused on the story. What we had already seen and what could we see in future stories. This week is again about the Living Story, but this time focusing on a side effect of its living design: limited time content.

A new content patch is coming to Guild Wars 2 tomorrow. The big focus of the patch is the Dragon Bash festival which you can read more about in ZAM's preview, but the festival is not the only thing being added with this patch. In addition to festival the Authorized Shoutcaster Program will go live with its first wave of shoutcasters.

Tomorrow ArenaNet continues its quest of delivering new content patches every other week. The update will introduce players to the Dragon Bash festival, a remake of the Dragon Festival familiar to players of the original Guild Wars.

On June 11, which is less than two weeks since the last content assault--the pace is really quite blistering-- Guild Wars 2 starts off its whole-hearted festival: Dragon Bash.

A visual feast of holographic dragons and dragon effigies will spread across Tyria, with its epicenter, naturally, at Lion's Arch and will last all the way until July 9.

Has it been two weeks already?

Apparently so, because as regular as clockwork a new update arrives today for Guild Wars 2. As outlined in my conversation with Colin Johanson last week, the ArenaNet team has put a lot of work into getting new content into your hands at a breakneck pace.

A gaggle of journalists – not the official collective noun – assembled Avengers style to speak to Colin Johanson about the announcement today that Guild Wars 2 is permanently lowering its price.

Colin began by stating how the game “is in a really solid place” at the moment and the price drop comes at a traditional time in the cycle of the game. With the game performing so well the reduction is not a big one but the team is looking forward to getting more players in game because of it.

The gem store seems to really be working for Guild Wars 2. ArenaNet has just announced a permanent  cut in the box price for GW2, a testament to its confidence in the game not needing a drastic price cut as well as confidence in its gem store to continue to thrive.

One of the big real estate items in the gem store is Town Clothing. The town clothing however, doesn't seem to live up as the big ticket items that the gem store showcases them as.
