Gamer 2.0 has compiled a charming virtual vacation brochure for some of the more scenic locations in NCsoft's Guild Wars.

The guide provides players with a faux-historic look at various game locations and offers up the same sort of pun-based humor you'd get from a man in a powdered wig in Colonial Williamsburg.

For instance, the guide has this to say regarding the aptly named "Bone Palace,"

The murderous stronghold of former ruler Palowa Joko, who tried to wipe out every living thing in Elona. His captured warriors' souls still scream in pain inside his palace, and the palace no longer shines bright due to the constant tones of death. Not recommended for anyone 13 or younger.

If you've ever been interested in the Guild Wars universe or fetishize the idea of virtual worlds replacing the traditional family vacation, their guide comes highly recommended.
