The Guid Wars team has announced some exciting new events in celebration of the Halloween season.

Players will be able to take part in a costume brawl dressed as famous Guild Wars characters, listen to the wandering Teller of Tales, collect new Halloween-themed items, and enjoy festivities in Halloween themed towns!

Every three hours on Halloween, gamers will enjoy a visit from the reigning monarch of the spooky season, Mad King Thorn, who will give each of his subjects a special memento of the season.

Eye of The North Live!

NCSoft has announced that they have released their first expansion to the award-winning, subscription-free Guild Wars franchise, Eye of the North!

Gamers who purchase Eye of the North can access its content through any of the multi-million-selling Guild Wars campaigns-Guild Wars, Guild Wars Faction or Guild Wars Nightfall.

Eye of the North advances the story told in the original Guild Wars campaign, and is set in unexplored areas of the continent of Tyria. It contains various new features, including 18 multi-level dungeons, 150 new skills across all 10 Guild Wars professions, 10 new Heroes to aid them in their adventures, 40 new armor sets, and more items, weapons, and titles.

Eye of the North Goodies

In preparation of the upcoming Guild Wars: Eye of the North sneak peek event, ArenaNet has made a game manual and a detailed map of the new regions available early for fans of the game.

Gamers who preorder Eye of the North will have full access to the game for three whole days an entire week before anyone else! Best of all, everything acquired during those three days will be yours to keep, including loot, cash and experience. Sneak peek players will have access from August 24 to August 26, 2007, allowing them to explore the Far Shiverpeaks region, home of the fiercely independent Norn as well as the legendary landmark known as the Eye of the North.
If you're gearing up for the sneak peek event, then this beautifully detailed map and game manual will probably be pretty useful to you. Check them out here: http://www.guildwars.com/

Guild Wars Sells Big

NCSoft has announced that the Guild Wars franchise has broken the four million units sold mark! This accomplishment has been achieved in less than two years since the release of the original Guild Wars.

Currently the Guild Wars series consists of Guild Wars, Guild Wars Factions, and Guild Wars Nightfall. Guild Wars Eye of the North, the game's first true expansion, will join the rest of the series when it is released on August 31st! Developed by ArenaNet, the franchise has set the standard for MMOs by providing quality content with a subscription-less business model.

Four million units sold is pretty impressive. Guild Wars has always been one of the MMOs that most interest me due to its solid reputation, reasonable system requirements and the lack of monthly fees. If you want more info on the series, you can find it below!

Early Eye of the North Access

Players who pre-order Guild Wars: Eye of the North will gain exclusive access to the game for three full days! Even better, these three days will be a whole week before the game's release, meaning they'll be among the first people in the world to play it!

From August 24 to August 26, 2007, players will have access to the Far Shiverpeaks region, home to the fiercely independent Norn and the legendary landmark known as the Eye of the North.

Everything that pre-order players acquire during their exclusive three days will still be available to them when Eye of the North launches on August 31st. This includes experience, items, loot and more!
