Join a New Generation of Online Role-Playing! Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates the tedium of those games. You can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. Within a quest you have unprecedented freedom and power to manipulate the world around you: your magic can build bridges and open up new pathways, or it can burn down forests and tear the ground asunder.

Your Skill Will Be Your Legend....

A champion will rise from the ruins of a once-proud empire to lead his people out of the ashes and fulfill an ancient prophecy. Will you be that champion? Become a legendary hero and bring justice to a land scarred by conflict, where guilds wage constant war to protect their homelands from a bestial race of savage monsters.

Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that focuses on skill rather than hours played. Whether battling monsters or competing at the highest levels of tournament play, your skill will determine your victory or defeat. In large, head-to-head guild battles, cooperative group combat and single-player missions, you can explore a fantasy world while pursuing professions and acquiring skills to develop your own personalized characters. Guild Wars is
a truly global game in which you can play with and against players from anywhere, at any time. It offers high-level competition via the Guild Wars Ladder and the Guild Wars World Championship.
