The broken tumbledown of the Lion’s Arch district was a lonely reminder that ArenaNet wasn’t kidding about making drastic changes to their MMO world. See the fallen bricks that once made up the bank headquarters. Look yonder at the cracked statue that once stood proudly in the city center. Take heart adventurers! Lion’s Arch will be rebuilt!<\/a> ArenaNet revealed that construction has started on a new version of the city that eschews the stacked boat architecture of the previous incarnation.<\/p>\n
