In the fantasy MMORPG Guild Wars 2, a bug has caused peace to reign among ostensibly hostile players.
“We are currently investigating an issue with world peace in WvWvW,” it was stated on the Guild Wars 2 Facebook page yesterday. “Yes, you read that right, players from rival realms are being friendly to each other. The team is calling the bug W<3W.”
However, the friendship between the 3 servers Gunnar’s Hold, Riverside, and Elona Reach didn’t last long. The bug was quickly brought under control. The Eternal Battleground lived up to its name again.
We can already see the next headline in the feuilleton of German weekly magazines: Warmongering company does not grant players pacifist peace – Is this still funny?
We think: In this case, it absolutely is.
