1* ActorAllusion: Vekk is voiced by Creator/MauriceLaMarche, so don't be surprised if he happens to ask you [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain if you're pondering what he's pondering.]]
2* DevelopmentGag: White Mantle leader Confessor Isaiah's signature skill Isaiah's Balance reflects an infamous skill nerf by balance team leader Isaiah Cartwright.
3* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: All three campaigns have had a Limited Edition, featuring such {{Feelies}} as a soundtrack CD, art book, world map posters, in-game extras, and a desk calendar.
4* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: ''Eye of the North'' focuses its attention on three of the playable races from the sequel while hinting at the Sylvari and the Elder Dragons. The ''Beyond'' storylines were designed to reflect the history between the two games, such as restoring the Krytan monarchy and Cantha's turn to xenophobia.
5* PreOrderBonus: Normally, small things, like unique weapons or "mini-pets."
6* PostScriptSeason: The ''Beyond'' content was created after the stories of the previous campaigns were concluded, with ''Winds of Change'' especially standing out due to adding an entirely new story, faction, and enemy. ''War in Kryta'' on the other hand mostly tied up the loose ends dealing with Kryta and the White Mantle.
7** ''Eye of the North'' can also be considered this. ''Nightfall'' neatly wrapped up the meta-story of the three base campaigns. ''Eye of the North'' introduced an entirely new enemy and two new races, showed a previously hostile race in a new light, and effectively neutralized a friendly race.
8* ReferencedBy: In ''Literature/TheBoyFromAleppoWhoPaintedTheWar'', Adam's OnlyFriend Nabil sometimes invites him over to play ''Guild Wars''.
9* {{Tuckerization}}: There are over a hundred characters named after [[https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Category:NPCs_named_after_ArenaNet_staff ArenaNet staff]] or [[https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Category:NPCs_named_after_community_members community members]].
10* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
11** A fourth full campaign, ''Utopia'', was in development before [=ArenaNet=] decided to go in a different direction and create a sequel. Some elements were reused in the ''Eye of the North'' expansion, particularly evident in the {{Mayincatec}} Tarnished Coast region.
12** ''Beyond'' had three additional planned storylines that never made it past development due [=ArenaNet=] shifting members to focus on the sequel.
13*** An Elonian story to complement ''War in Kryta'' and ''Winds of Change'', linked to Palawa Joko.
14*** The founding of Ebonhawke, which plays a large role in the novels and sequel.
15*** A continuation of Mad King Thorn's story dealing with other forces taking advantage of his failed escape.
