Too bad someone is probably gonna steal your name before you get it The name you got is unique in the GW2 universe, noone else in the world will be named the same as you.
Be quick on you name mate!

Or we just don't like all the anime kawaii shit that gets thrown into games these days.

But aren't the frogs in the game a sentient anthropomorphised species? So basically - you'd just be riding another person around lol.

I like that the architecture there has quite an ancient feel to it - and lots of green too. Kinda reveals a different side to the ra...erm, asura...

Yep, the Hyleks

Love the architecture, although I think I will keep on falling off buildings in their city if my previous videogame experience is anything to go by.

Also, I was very disappointed by the lack of female cute Asura on that album.

Rata Sum was built upon the ruins of an ancient race (it's assumed to be the Seers), and the architecture reflects that of the ruins.

Actually - it does have a certain charm :-)

Me: "Hurry up! They're getting away!"
Mount: *colossal sigh* "Here I am, brain the size of a planet..." etc etc.

Always better with something than nothing, ain't it?

[Squirrelbanes]

What an awesome thing to wake up to! Thanks OP xD

Cannot wait to play mine

Also, regarding the architecture. While it is now quintesentially asuran, design wise it has its roots in the never created Utopia. Much like Cantha had an Asian style and Elona had an African style, Utopia was to have a Souther American and Mayan style.
They made EoTN instead and many of the features that were going to be used in Utopia were used in EoTN. If you look at the concept art you can see many Mayan style buildings.....and this is where the asura architecture concept came from.
The concept art is great btw,

assumed to be the seers but ironic its an anagram of "mursaat"

i do hope it is seer related, we need more lore for them
