Lion’s Arch Report Making Emotional connections in Guild Wars 2 http://www.arena.net/blog/the-emotional-connection Chris - Agree with the avatar as the first step to the connetion. That’s always where it start for me.

As they saw the threat on the dragons grow decided to help bring forth a natural creature that could be immune to the corruption of dragons as a united force of spiritual energy they brought forth the pale tree and gave it the ability to create children to combat the forces of evil. Their knowledge was passed on to the pale tree and made a part of the dream for the firstborn sylvari. Ventari’s tablet was reinforced by the spirits that had observed ventari and ronan. This may also explain why the Pale Tree (npc) is able to re-enter the dream as she was once a spirit in form. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sylvari http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Druids http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pale_Tree Tales of Tyria Screenshot contest https://www.guildwars2.com/en/community-news/the-envelope-please-announcing-the-winners-of-the-moment-to-moment-screenshot-contest/ Build Editor http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/ if you ordered the CE and paid the full price for the soundtrack they have a way for you to enter your coupon code once it arrives and you’ll be refunded the 5$ that you probably spent on shipping it within the US http://www.directsong.com/mobile/gw2coupon.php Armor previews for nearly every set in-game http://thepaletree.net/2012/08/03/prepare-your-wardrobe-armor-previews/ How not to lead a guild http://huntersinsight.com/2012/08/05/lessons-from-a-failed-guild-leader/ Weekend Event: Double Luxon and Kurzick title points Request for community events of the week/bi-week.
