ArenaNet and the Guild Wars 2 team have been awarded the "Best Online Game" award at this year's GamesCom in Cologne, Germany. The team has been on hand showing off a demo of the game, talking with fans and reporters about the unique nature of Guild Wars 2 and much more.

Those ArenaNet staffers who aren’t in Cologne are still playing a vital role at gamescom; our entire studio here in the Seattle area has been playing the game remotely with show attendees all week. We’ve been having a blast meeting and playing alongside our European fans in-game – it’s been like one big international LAN party!

We’re bringing the hands-on Guild Wars 2 demo to the States in two weeks at PAX in Seattle (Sept 3-5), and we’d love to see you there. Even if you can’t play the demo, keep an eye on this blog for more Guild Wars 2 news and information.
