Bring Out Your Builds!

We're offering an opportunity for the Top 20 Guild Wars guilds, as of December 4th, to submit a character template for a PvP Pre-build Character. After the top guilds have submitted their templates, all Guild Wars players will be invited to vote for their favorites, and the top choices will be added to the game! See the Events Page for more details.

Championship Rules Expanded

In order to combat a problem with "smurf" guilds, the Guild Wars World Championship rules have been expanded as follows: Each player participating in the Guild Wars World Championship must be a member of his or her guild continuously from December 5 through December 31, 2005. If a player changes guilds, he or she will be ineligible to compete in the GWWC. More details about the Guild Wars World Championship will be released next week.
