Guild Wars 2's Writing Style Revamped

02 Jun 2010 at 18:02:18 by Bill Vaughan

ArenaNet has informed fans that the writing style for Guild Wars 2 has been given a good shake-up.

Although it'll probably go over many gamers' heads, things like the punctuation, capitalization, and phrasing of quest text in Guild Wars 2 and on the official site will be changed to conform more closely to CMS rules:

“Professions are now lowercased except when used in a title. The same goes for playable races, though nationalities and group affiliations will remain uppercase as is consistent with contemporary practice. It may take a few minutes to adjust to the new look, but we’re pretty confident that you’re a savvy bunch. You don’t need every other word capitalized for emphasis. Context will tell you all you need to know about our lore and game mechanics.”
