Who is the siamoth fan?

Hey Guild Wars devs!

I’ve noticed a silly trend as I explore more and more of the world map. Now, I can’t recall exactly where each location has been, but I can tell you that there are at least one in Bloodtide Coast and Sparkfly Fen:

Which one of you guys loves siamoths too much? :P

There have been multiple occasions where I have found a little cave offshoot somewhere in the corner of a map and thought, “Ooo! Something to explore” only to get in there and realize its just a one room half open cavern with a bunch of siamoth grazing.

The first time I was disappointed. The second and third and fourth times, I just started laughing like I was experiencing some sort of inside joke with one of the developers.

I can’t help but imagine someone sitting in a dark corner of the Arenanet studio just creating siamoth habitats in little tucked away corners of Tyria, very happy and content with their life. When they go home and their wife or husband asks how their day was, they just smile and say “Great! I made another new home for siamoths.”

Anyway, who is responsible for this? :P

It’s like Trolls and Ettin seem to be often found large gathering node farms, one of the great mysteries of Tyria….Perhaps someday the true story will be revealed?

Internally we pronounce it “See-ya-moth”, and since washingtonians speak perfect english as we remind our british design director Chris Whiteside daily, that’s clearly the only correct way to say it, so there ya go.

Speaking as a California transplant, I have two counter arguments:

1) It is called soda, not pop.
2) Bag and beg do not sound the same.

Nice try, though.
