Guild Wars



Guild Wars



Guild Wars is a Competitive Online Role Playing Game with an emphasis on rewarding player skill. In large head-to-head guild battles, cooperative group combat, and single player missions, players will explore a fantasy world while pursuing professions and acquiring skills to develop their own personalized character. Unique items, special abilities, and a wide variety of skills add meaningful value for the player and for their comrades. Missions are not scripted adventures, but are open battlegrounds where victory is determined by skill and teamwork.



Guild Wars is an online game with NO online fees. Starting the game automatically connects the player to a secure server-hosted game while NCsoft’s streaming technology allows them to fix exploits quickly and seamlessly.



Guild Wars is focused on what's fun in a role-playing game: fighting monsters, playing with and against other players, completing quests, and finding that next great item. Negative aspects like travel time, high death penalties, spawn camping, and loot stealing have been removed.



Multiplayer towns provide access to other players for social interaction and item trading. When adventuring, players select a mission that spawns uniquely for them and their group. This combination of a social world with a personal story is unique in the marketplace.
