Well, this is it. The final episode of GuildCast is finished. It’s not a mega-spectacular extravaganza of an episode, but simply a way for me to express to the listeners how the podcast came to be, how it progressed and why it’s ending. I tell some things on this episode that I’ve never told before.

Included are some recordings I did during the GuildCast Finale event at ConNooga a few weeks back.

The theme song this episode is “Time to Say Goodbye” by Andrea Bocelli.

We don’t know too many details about Guild Wars 2 just yet, but I get together with a few friends to have a roundtable discussion on our opinions of the facts so far. I gathered 2 people from each side of the fence: those for GW2 and those against.

On the FOR side we have Louden Swain and Logen Starlogic. On the AGAINST side we have Aurora Scion and Lady Sinaea.

We discuss 10 topics that I chose from the official GW2 wiki and NikiWiki. The 10 topics are:

    - Auction House: Yay or Nay?
    - How will we pay? With no monthly fees still, will Anet turn to microtransactions?
    - Introduction of a Z-Axis for characters
    - Persistent vs. Instanced worlds
    - What is World PvP and how different will it be from the PvP we know now?
    - Raised or no level cap?
    - New Playable races… will we play them?
    - How will we cope without our current characters 250 years into the future?
    - The new companion system might do away with Heroes. Or will it?
    - Is there any 1 thing that would serve as a deal breaker for GW2?

The theme song for this episode was “Two Halves of Two” by Not Katies.

In this episode, I talk all about the Asuran race. Much like the other Eye of the North race shows, this one goes over what the Asura are, what their reputation title means and how to gain more reputation.

I also go over some news, including the announcement that the Bonus Mission Pack will be available to anyone to purchase on January 28th.

I also read over some listener email, including one from Raphiel, Talon Freebird, Mike and Mark. In response to one of the emails, I mention GuildCafe for all of your guild searching needs, so go check them out too!

If you can guess the theme song this episode, be the first to email me with the name of the song and the composer’s name, and you’ll win a bunch of random golds and greens from my storage! Woot!

The Assassin Revisited! In this episode, I try to cover the aspects of the Assassin class that I didn’t cover in episode 43. I read mostly from a great guide on the official GW wiki, but we also hear a large segment submitted to me by several GuildCast listeners: Chipmunk Kitty, Angron, Toodles, Shinobi and Leeroth.

Lady Sinaea also graces us with her holiday homage to GuildCast as she does best!
