Some changes coming for the Hall of Monuments

As recently announced by the ArenaNet devs, the Hall of Monuments in Guild Wars Eye of the North is going to undergo some changes shortly.
One of the main issues players have been complaining about (me too!) is that the Hall of Monuments is character specific, which actively discourages developing more characters. One of the changes [...]

April Fools Day fun in Guild Wars

After enduring the onslaught of allegedly funny pranks during the day, it was a welcome relief to log in to Guild Wars. Only to find everyone’s character had been turned into a stick figure!

Ritualist Elite Skills in Eye of the North

When the early access opened up for Guild Wars Factions I played through a session with a party of friends. The two new classes of Assassins and Ritualists where available, and I chose the Ritualist. Clearly they’re a very powerful class, but seem to work best when providing backline support within the party.
We ended up [...]
