Factions Preview Event

The Factions Preview Event is a weekend event that gives gamers a sneak peek at the wonders of Cantha, the featured land of Guild Wars: Factions, and invites them experience some of the new gameplay options. Players will have the opportunity to explore part of this large new game world, to try out new gameplay mechanics, to learn a bit about the story of Factions, to see some of the diverse new creatures and monsters, to play the two new professions—The Assassin and the Ritualist—and to experience some of the immersive new missions and quests.

Notes:

 * The Factions Preview Event will begin at 12:01 a.m. PST on Friday morning, March 24, and will end at 11:59 p.m. PST on Sunday night, March 26.


 * Anyone with the original Guild Wars game can invite up to three friends via e-mail to preview the upcoming Guild War: Factions. The invites are accessed via the logon screen in the game.

BUG
DO NOT try to access the "Alliance Battles" in the Guild Hall, if you have not been to Lion's Arch. The "Guild Hall" button is the only way out of the battle, but then the "Leave Guild Hall" button takes you back to the alliance battle, meaning there is currently no way out of the battle (if you have visited Lion's Arch, you may return to the Guild Hall and then return to Lion's Arch by boat).
