Content Designer Annie VanderMeer Mitsoda wrote an ArenaNet blog post about the challenges and decisions that went with labeling everything under the sun in Guild Wars 2 .

It all brought back memories of my first real encounter with this race: a PUG in Great Northern Wall . One member of the group suggested we fight the horde of Charr approaching us at the end of the mission, to which the group leader responded, “Hell no! They’re level 8 — they’ll kill us!” That panicked, heart-pounding race back to the Wall was the moment I became hooked on Guild Wars .
