The Annual PvP-A-Thon is an annual event of non-stop pvp. There are two different sections of the event. There is the competitive part and the "just for fun" part. The competitive part is more for experienced players who wish to fight for prizes, and the "just for fun" part is to make friends, have a good time, and play without pressure.

[edit] History
The idea originally started as a small group of pvp-oriented players who held daily scrimmages. However, in late 2006, they thought that they could share their small, daily scrimmages with the rest of the community. After weeks of tiring planning and advertising, they recruited over 300 players to join in a massive scrimmage tournament the likes of which Guild Wars had never seen. There were small entrance fees, and small prizes for everyone. However, there were two main divisions, there was the "Just for Fun" (JFF) division and the Competitive (Comp) division. Both of which had two distincly different types of players. The event lasted for a number of days ending on December 25, 2006 with a final play-off between two major pvp-based guilds. It was a fun time for everyone with free ale given before and after fights.
