Fun Season Ends; Ladder Frozen

Congratulations to The Benecia Renovatio [RenO] for winning the Guild Wars Fun Season, and to the top 15 guilds! For their efforts, we will be giving out the following prizes:

* Signed copies of Guild Wars and complete sets of skill pins will be mailed to the 8 players designated by the Guild Leader

** Silver Cape trim lasts until the end of the next announced season

Ladder update: The Guild Wars Ladder was frozen at 8:00 GMT (1:00 a.m. PDT) this morning, and will remain so for a period of time beyond the Guild Wars Factions Championship, which will take place August 24th through August 27th. State of the Game: Championship Predictions

With the Guild Wars Factions Championship beginning on Thursday of this week, our freelance writers have accepted the challenge of naming their pick for the overall victor. Surprisingly, there isn’t an overwhelming choice—several guilds are considered likely winners of the $50,000 top prize. Read all the predictions here. Emblem Contest Deadline Nears

Here's a reminder that the deadline for the Guild Wars Nightfall Guild Emblem Contest is this Friday, August 25th.
