With over four million units of the original game (Guild Wars: Prophecies) sold in stores, there's no denying the popularity of this free-to-play game.

Set in a medieval fantasy world, Guild Wars allows players to choose from ten different total professions. In the original release of the game, players could choose from six of these professions, with the Nightfall and Factions expansions adding two more professions each. While there is a player versus environment (PvE) portion of the game, most players play Guild Wars to engage in player versus player combat (PvP). With a level cap of only 20 levels, players can quickly become a top-tiered character in PvE, yet the main drive to hit level 20 is to earn skills that can be used in the PvP arena.

Finally, the PvP competitions are separated into seven different areas of competition, each with its own nuances and goals. Players are urged to continually play Guild Wars because large cash payouts are available to the best players of the game. The money on top of the fun of PvP continues to keep Guild Wars an incredibly popular game.

Guild Wars Characters Featured in GameStop Commercial

Man, I want to smack that little guy.

While the commercial itself is a little irritating, it's interesting to see Guild Wars featured in GameStop's TV advertisement for this year's holiday season.

Guild Wars: Eye of the North at E3

That's a lengthy video... almost TOO long.

MMORPG.com got footage of the press-only E3 walkthrough demo of Guild Wars: Eye of the North and have put the footage of it up on their site.

At this year's E3, Guild Wars: Eye of the North was demonstrated for media exclusively, but was not available on the show floor. Now for the first time gamers will be able to see this exclusive E3 demo in its entirety through the Guild Wars: Eye of the North guided E3 demo video.

Guild Wars: Eye of the North Video Preview

It's Guild Wars like you've never seen it before!

Arena.net is calling Guild Wars: Eye of the North the game's first "true expansion," but with 4 races, 18 (18!) dungeons, and an entire new continent and several new cities to explore.... well, you've probably read feature lists of newly released games that have less to offer. In this 12 minute video, Michael Gills of Arena.net walks us through a demo of the latest expansion for Guild Wars. Take a look!

Check it out right here.
