Happy 4th Birthday, Guild Wars!
It has been a long and successful four years for the NCSoft developed Guild Wars (Prophecies), the popular MMO-based game franchise launched on April 28, 2005. By offering free online play, the franchise has become a great and popular alternative to the infamous World of Warcraft. Since its release, the Guild Wars series has produced two new campaigns (Factions, Nightfall) and one new expansion (Eye of the North).
NCSoft is ready to celebrate Guild Wars’ 4th Anniversary, with a plethora of new updates and features. There’s an expanded storage system, Hall of Monuments upgrades, and even a way to edit or totally redesign your character (for a fee). Clearly, these are just small treats to keep us interested and tide us over until Guild Wars 2 is complete. Check it out online and in-game.

Personally, I own all three campaigns and the expansion. I don’t play the game much anymore, due to an increasingly busy schedule and several countless hours already logged into the game. I believe I’ve put in about 1,000+ hours into the game, which sounds ridiculous for just one videogame, however this is peanuts compared to World of Warcraft aficionados with God knows how many hours.
Anyhow, to celebrate Guild Wars, I have posted up profiles of all of my RP characters HERE. Enjoy.
