Back in 2010, ArenaNet President Mike O'Brian posted a "Design Manifesto" that was guiding the development of the company's upcoming MMORPG, Guild Wars 2. After the first, highly-instanced Guild Wars game, ArenaNet decided to think big and create a massive and persistent world for the sequel. The Manifesto was bold: Guild Wars 2 should be an actual role-playing game in which players made choices that would have lasting effects on their character's story.
