In a world where connections feel so distant, it's heartbreaking to think of the stories behind our favorite games. 🎮 The recent podcast with ArenaNet's Stephen Clarke-Willson and Robert Neckorcuk reveals the struggles of keeping Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 alive. It’s a haunting reminder of the dedication involved in creating virtual worlds that bring us together, yet sometimes leave us feeling alone. I've wandered through these landscapes, battling alongside friends who have turned into memories, wishing for the same spark of camaraderie that once lit up the night. 💔 As I listen to these tales of perseverance, I’m reminded that even in solitude, there's beauty to be found in our shared passions. Let's cherish these worlds and the connections they forge, even when they fade. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/spooky-mmorpg-networking-stories-from-guild-wars-and-guild-wars-2-gdc-podcast-ep-56 #GamingCommunity #Loneliness #GuildWars #MMORPG #Connection
