Exhibition prize money
GuildWars Taiwan press release

Partial translation:

At the same time, the Taiwan region champion will have an exhibition match with the 2006 GWWC champion. If the Taiwan/Hongkong/Maccu team win ini the exhibition match, they will receive 10,000 USD prize money provided by NCTaiwan. If the GWWC champion wins, the guild will win Fame, Pride, and the prize of all players' dreams.

It is not explicit whether the original 2,500 USD prize money is still in the picture or not. But it looks to me like the 10,000 USD is just added by NCTaiwan to encourage local players, while at the same time they have qutie some confidence that the Taiwanese players won't win ^^ -PanSola 19:48, 13 February 2006 (CST)


 * OK, my bad. I hope the Taiwanese players get lucky! Shandy 20:36, 13 February 2006 (CST)


 * I put it back to 10K, I looked at guildwars.com last night when the anon edit was made and found that it said that match was 10K. I don't have the exact link in front of me at the moment tho.  --Rainith 23:41, 13 February 2006 (CST)
 * I'm fairly certain only the Taiwanese team can receive the 10k. Saying the match itself is 10k would be misleading-PanSola 00:55, 14 February 2006 (CST)

Ok, when I originally typed up the exhibition stuff many weeks ago, it was before teh GuildWars website retrofit, and there was a place clearing stating exhibition prize is 2,500, AND that one team from Japan and one from Taiwan is participating. The CURRENT website does not mention the Japan team at all (also checked the Guildwars Japan official Homepage, nothing), and instead of the 2,500 to whoever wins the exhibition, now the website only talks about 10k IF the Taiwanese team wins. Suggestion to delete the Exhibition prize money line alltogether, leaving the note down below. -PanSola 01:09, 14 February 2006 (CST)


 * The 10K prize should be taken out and a rewording of the following text (from guildwars.com) should be put in: What’s on the line for the Taiwan team? A cash prize of $10,000 provided by NCTaiwan if they win! What’s on the line for the Guild Wars World Champion guild? Pride, honor, and a prize package that is the stuff of any gamer's dreams! I don't have time at the moment to do it tho, so if someone else would be so kind.  :)  --Rainith 01:23, 14 February 2006 (CST)

Linking the Guilds
I have stripped the wiki-links from each guild due to the decision that we should not keep track on individual guilds in this wiki. I initially wanted to replace the wiki-links by hyper-links to the corresponding homepage of the guild, but haven't been very successful in finding these pages. (In fact, I only found the homepages of [RUS] and [XoO] .)

Therefore, I would appreciate if anyone who knows such URLs could provide them in the article. I suggest linking them in the same manner as I have linked [RUS] or [XoO], i.e. linking the guild name without the tag in the participation list only (and maybe in the list of winners again), but neither in every occurrence of the guilds name throughout the article nor as trailing list of external links. --MRA 18:20, 14 February 2006 (CST)
