New update brings merchants together in Guild Wars 2

In the future we will receive bi-weekly updates for Guild Wars 2. Next week Tuesday we will receive Bazaar of the Four Winds. Merchants from every corner of Tyria will gather to sell their wares. Ofcourse, this will go hand in hand with scum that most definitely will cause trouble. The mystical, flying Zephyr Sanctum will land, bringing magical crystals and amazing movement skills to daring adventurers.
