14 DAY TRIAL // Players of the successful Guild Wars online computer game will soon get a chance to battle for supremacy in the upcoming Guild Wars World Championship. The competition, sponsored by NCsoft and Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, will kick off this weekend.
Teams from America, Europe and Korea will compete in the Guild Wars World Championship Finals during the Taipei Game Show, which takes place February 16 - 20, 2006 in Taiwan.
The inaugural season will begin Saturday, October 1, 2005, as ArenaNet resets the Guild Wars ladder at midnight Pacific Daylight Time.
The ladder season will last three months, and will lead to playoffs among top-ranked guilds in three regions: America, Europe and Korea. Two eight-player teams from each region will then qualify to compete in Taipei for the Guild Wars world champion title in February 2006. Teams from Taiwan and Japan will also compete in exhibition matches with the world finalists.
Guild Wars surpassed more than one million units sold in North America and Europe. Earlier this month ArenaNet released their Sorrow's Furnace Update, a free expansion of Guild Wars content that offered two new regions to explore, new quests, new monsters, new items and lots more.
