  • Guild Wars: New Fee-Based Alt Slots

    It's not Vegas, but these slots will take your money.

    NCSoft / ArenaNet announced that, starting this summer, alternate character slots for subscription-free MMO Guild Wars may be purchased for $9.99 / €8.99 / £5.99 a piece. This is a one-time fee. From GamesIndustry.biz:

    As a result, NCsoft presumably believes the facility will enjoy a broader appeal than it would for traditional massively-multiplayer games, and that relatively casual players as well as hardcore Guild Wars fans will find the chance to play as more alternative characters - while retaining access to other unlocked content - worth the extra fee.

    Given that buying the box for $52.99 grants you four character slots, I suppose you could argue that the $9.99 fee gives you a ~$3.25 piecemeal discount. If you love your PvP, this could be a nice way to supplement your collection post-Factions expansion.

  • GW - Match Reports

    What would have made this perfect is if they had two animated heads in jars doing these news reports in a sports cast style. I have visions of Futurama floating in my head.

    We have brought on about half a dozen freelance "game reporters" to help cover Guild Wars from the viewpoint of competitive play. The first two of their articles describe matches that took place during last weekend's Guild Wars Factions Championship Seasonal Playoffs. Catch the battle reports linked from this page.

  • NCSoft Boosting The9

    The9 stocks up.
    NCSoft obtaining controling interest in NC Sina has pushed The9 stocks up over 40% in two weeks. The9 is one of China's largest online game portal companies.

    "Korean game developer NCSoft has recently assumed full control of its "NC Sina" joint venture by acquiring the 51% stake held by former partner Sina Corp. This development has, in turn, fueled speculation that NCSoft might choose The9 Limited to operate its popular online game Guild Wars in China, which would be a boon to The9."

  • GW - Get a Chance to Go To E3!

    Ok honestly, yes there are bright flashy lights and lots of noise. But really... compare that to the sweaty stank and the pushing crowds and it's not worth it so much. However, if you're into that sweaty stank... this may be the chance for you.

    We’re delighted to let Guild Wars players know of a special opportunity: The guild that finishes No. 1 in the first seasonal playoffs of the Guild Wars Factions Championship will be invited to play Guild Wars at E3, one of the largest game shows in the world! This is the first of what we hope will be several special opportunities during the championship season. You can find all the details and rules on this page. So, get your game on, and bring it to LA!

    Check out the rules and details here.

    A better place to get your Guild Wars fix!
