Guild Wars 2 - Glory is all gone

On Martch 18th GW2 will get ride of Glory has a currency. To many who don't play the game & to many who do this really dont mean much but what it does mean is players will NOT be able to level up in SPvP. Before players could play in PvP earning Glory & use that Glory to buy XP tomes. Which at its price counts almost for a whole level.

Its very odd to see ArenaNet get rid of glory. And with Glory there also getting rid of random reward chests from PvP as well, And the bonus rank xp that came with chests players will see at the end of the match as said in this quote:

"At that time we will also be removing all existing random reward chests from PvP. This means that all rank reward vendors will be removed and we will no longer be rewarding bonus chests for winning Solo and Team Arena matches. The bonus rank points that were awarded in these chests will become part of the end of match reward."

As you can see from the quote taken from PoE main page this small update will be centered around players fighting the Vaal Corruption once again but this time on a bigger scale! Personally I cant wait for the update & see what Grinding Gear Games has for PoE in the future.

NOT Giving up on KickStarter - Pantheon Rise of The Fallen

Hi all. Quick update:
We are NOT giving up on Kickstarter by any means.
We are setting up a comprehensive web site that will include all of the KS info and the ability to pledge or re-pledge. This will launch when the KS campaign ends, whether KS is successful or not.
We have already started preparing to reach out to Investors. We are finalizing some spreadsheets and polishing up the Business Plan. This phase has been planned and will also happen whether or not we meet the KS goal.

-Brad

I'm kinda upset that Pantheon wont see a successful kickstarter. As the quote above and below shows not even Brad believes his kickstarter will not see the light of day, And with only 9 days left an only reaching $380,000 of the projected $800,000. However, Brad has stated wither his project is KickStarted or not Pantheon will continue to be worked on with the help of investors.

February 18th is when we will see the new Live Story Update from arenanet this time stationed in Lion's Arch, A city that for a Guild Wars enthusiast has alot of history toward it; and a look at their teaser trailer shows Lion's Arch taking a brutal attack once again.

Aetherblade airships, dirigibles of death piloted by the dreaded pirates who now serve Scarlet, loom over the city like birds of prey. On the ground, the cruel serpentine krait and subterranean dredge hunt for prey and terrorize its citizens. In one grim moment in the video, the famed nautical architecture of the city burns as innocents try to flee the devastation.
