Not long ago, the Guild Wars 2 team detailed what they consider the four pillars of the game. In an update to that blog post, the official site now has four videos that delve a bit deeper into the pillars for those of us who are more visual learners.

Earlier in the development of Guild Wars 2 we released our MMO Manifesto video, a high-level look at the philosophy behind the design of the game. As we approach the launch date, now is the perfect time to talk about the outcome of that design philosophy with a look at the core ideas that the game is built on: personal story, dynamic events, combat, and PvP.

You can see them all on the Guild Wars 2 blog.
