Laura Genender pens this article on Guild Wars and Guild Wars Factions based on her E3 chats with Jeff Strain, the founder of ArenaNet, and other NCSoft staffers.
At E3, we spoke with some of the Guild Wars developers about their extremely popular games, where they are right now and where they are going in the future.
"You don't have to be married to Guild Wars in order to play it," said Jeff Strain, the founder of ArenaNet.
Our host told us that Guild Wars Factions, which launched on April 28th, is the #1 Selling PC Game in the United States. Developers describe Guild Wars Factions as a separate game from the original Guild Wars, in that, unlike an expansion, either game can stand alone. The games do, however, have plenty of interaction, and the technology updates that were added in Guild Wars Factions were given as a free update to original Guild Wars community. |
