Nights of Eberron has been quite a hit with the Massively community, encouraging us to look at some other titles with the same idea in mind. Next up: Tyria. An informal poll of our readers -- meaning we asked in IRC chat (#massively on quakenet.org) -- turned up a pretty enthusiastic vote for Guild Wars, a task I was more than happy to volunteer for.
We'll be starting in pre-searing -- again, at the behest of the readers -- and we'll be starting tomorrow night. Roll up a brand new pre character and we'll visit the game right from the beginning. The first night is tomorrow, May 6th at 9 PM EDT. Jump after the break for all of the event's juicy details!
A few quick notes on how it will all work: because Guild Wars guild memberships are account wide, we'll be doing this one a bit differently. Massively Overpowered [MVOP] will be very happy to have you as a member, but if you've got a guild that you're happy with at the moment that works too. Roll a presearing alt and join us while still keeping your current guild tag -- we're still delighted to have you. Since it's not likely that the entire group will be able to use guild chat, we'll try taking over a quiet district and seeing how that works. Join us in Ascalon City, Japanese district 1 for local chat.
Send a whisper to Rubi Djinn for a guild invite if you would like to join us. In the meantime, keep up with all the Massively community happenings via our IRC chat and the Massively Mob on Steam!

The timing is a bit crap for me as well, but I would have loved to partake in the fun!

my wife just made a new character and got into the game like yesterday. I had bugged her for a long time to try it and guess what, she liked it.
I think I will make a new one as well, and we will join everyone...hmm since I have one of everything already...I wonder what I shall create.
Decisions....

My new character will be named Ascanias Grey. Quick question- how long will this go for?

Ghil - it's a new character created in the 'Prophecies' campaign.
Just make a new toon in the original campaign and you'll be all set.

I've honestly never played Guild Wars, but I don't want to miss out on another Massively event. I'm not exactly sure what "presearing" is, so... Can I download the trial and join you guys?

Heh, I like you new character name Rubi.
Are you using your normal account, or is this a new one for this purpose only?
