The game Guild Wars is what this Wiki is all about, so if you're reading this, chances are you already have got a rough idea about the game:

Guild Wars is an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) developed by ArenaNet, a software company fully owned by Korean gaming company NCSoft.

What makes Guild Wars different from most other MMORPG's is the aspect of no grinding, this is why Guild Wars is sometimes classified as CORPG. You just go through quests and missions to find the items, runes, and skills you need.

Furthermore, unlike World of Warcraft and other MMORPG's, Guild Wars does not charge a monthly fee for playing the game. Instead, ArenaNet aim to release two expansion packs ("campaigns") per year.

What makes this game competitive is the Player vs Player, Guild vs Guild, and an international war called Hall of Heroes. HoH is where three territories (America, Europe, Korea) fight each other to win Favor of the Gods. These pvp battles are very reliant on your skills and your tactics. So choosing the right skill and right tactics beforehand can dramatically help you win.
