I missed this before Christmas, but MMORPG.com have an interview with Guild Wars 2 Lead Designer Eric Flannum, World Designer and Writer Ree Soesbee, and Environment Art Lead Dave Beetlestone.
The interview sheds some more light on the social classes available to the five playable races, as well as shedding more light on the back story and the links between the races.
Of most interest though is the hint from Eric Flannum that we should be seeing some more Guild Wars content that will link the current campaigns to Guild Wars 2:
We’ve already seen some things in Guild Wars 1 that lead into the second game. As we get closer to launch, I think we’ll definitely see more things both in Guild Wars 1 and outside of it that hint at things to come.

Costume slots have been added to the character portrait. Now, you can wear costumes over your armor, meaning you can look fabulous in your Dwayna costume or festival hat without sacrificing protection!
ArenaNet have posted up another Guild Wars 2 teaser video. This time, the video showcases the different playable races that will be available in the next Guild Wars game.
Guild War 2 will feature 5 playable races – Humans, Asura, Charr, Sylvari and Norn. It will be interesting to see how the differences between the races change the actual gameplay.
