Factions Preview Event

From Guild Wars Wiki

The Factions Preview Event was a chance for players to test out the new classes: Ritualist and Assassin in mainly PvE. It began at 12:01 a.m. PST on Friday morning, March 24, 2006, and ended at 11:59 p.m. PST on Sunday night, March 26. Players were automatically level 20 and could go to Kaineng City, the Luxon's Jade Sea and the Kurzicks's Echovald Forest. Certain portals functioned differently than expected, skipping over large expanses of land, and missions could not be played. Unlike the Nightfall Preview Event, players had access to Xunlai Agents, so a large sum of money could be made off of new items that dropped in Cantha. Players created for this event were reset to level 1 , cleared of their items, and sent to Monastery Overlook at the end of the event, and were treated as newly made characters.
