The guide actually displays more than just mechanics, but even what elements of the game players will come into contact with in the first hour. Who really reads a printed, hard-copy guide for online games these days anyway? Guild Wars 2‘s head-start is less than 20 hours away, and players have till then to pre-purchase the game and join in the fun. If not, official launch is slated on 28th August, a couple of days later.
