The Sorrow's Furnace update is now available for players of the popular title "Guild Wars". Along with this release, the good people behind the game have released buckets of information about their newest addition. New monsters, new quests, new items, new collectors, new weapons... the list seems to go on and on. As to what exactly "Sorrow's Furnace" is: it is a new update to Guild Wars that is designed to appeal to Ascended characters (meaning characers above 20th level) with the new content geared toward those players. Best of all, it is free, players need only log in to Guild Wars to recieve the new content.

And of course, what fun would an update be without some interesting update notes to have a look through:

Sorrow's Furnace consists of two new, large and challenging explorable regions located deep in the Shiverpeak Mountains between Spearhead Peak and Snake Dance. These areas contain the following:
- Seventeen new quests, most of them fully repeatable and offering high XP rewards
- Four new cinematics
- A variety of new monsters, including new Stone Summit Dwarves that are the strongest in the Shiverpeak Mountains, and entirely new types of creatures that are being introduced to the game for the first time
- Boss monsters named after the contest winning entries
Boss monsters in the new Sorrow's Furnace regions drop newly-introduced green "unique" weapons that are named after the boss.
