GWWC Rules Amended

In order to ease the challenge of obtaining visa in advance of the Regional Playoffs, we have amended the Guild Wars 2006 World Championship Rules, as follows:

"Player must be able to travel without restriction to Taipei, Taiwan. Players will be required to deliver proof of possession of a passport and satisfaction of all other requirements for entering the country. Proof must be sent to ArenaNet by expedited mail, fax or scanned image on or before 08:00 (a.m.) GMT January 4, 2006. Costs associated with obtaining a passport are the sole responsibility of the individual player."

After the Regional Round has been completed, ArenaNet will work with the invited Guilds to help expedite the visa process.
