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.As a way to celebrate, Guild Wars account holders will be able to participate in a three-day PvP Extreme Weekend (PvPX). For the entire weekend, PvP play will earn players extra faction points – 5x the faction awards for wins in high-level arenas and tournament play and 2.5x the faction awards for wins in guild-vs-guild play. Players can use their faction points to unlock new skills and weapon upgrades, gain Elite skills, and purchase new runes to boost armor.
The PvP Extreme Weekend is the perfect opportunity to allow Guild Wars players to start new PvP characters or to improve their current characters. PvPX will begin at 12:01 am (PDT) on Friday, August 26, and will end at 11:59 pm (PDT) on Sunday, August 28. Account holders simply need to login with their Guild Wars character and join in some PvP or GvG play to participate.
