Carolyn Koh recently got a chance to see Guild Wars: Factions and tour ArenaNet's Bellevue, WA (near Seattle) offices. She filed this report, full of pictures from inside the studio.

On Thursday, March 9th, ArenaNet in Bellevue, WA held a small media event for their upcoming Guild Wars Campaign; Guild Wars Factions to be released on April 28th, 2006.

When I arrived at the appointed time, it was to find that the top line feature preview of Factions had been delivered by ArenaNet co-founder Jeff Strain and the studio tour was about to start. No biggie, I wasn’t the only one to miss the preview presentation, and joined the tour. As we toured the studio, one thing was evident. There was a lot of excitement in the air as Guild Wars Factions neared the last major milestone of the Release… going Gold – officially locking the code for release – was planned for that day.

Broken link note.

" stand-alone game and is priced like one."

The "priced like one" link is broke. Appears at a glance to be caused by fancy quotes generated by your word processor.

edit: Same is true for the link at the end of the sentence "and new can try it out in a Preview Event."

Guild Wars was my favorite game for 2005 and I've already preordered Guild Wars: Factions.  I'm really looking forward to this game and can't wait to try it out this weekend.

Yeah... I  heard in factions you automatically start out at level 20? Anyone know if this is true.

No, its not true.  Its like all the others, you start at 0 and work your way through the story and by the time you need to be max lvl, you already are.  However, you can take chapter 1 lvl 20s in once they're ascended and vice versa. You started at 20 in the preview, but many did not like that at all.
