Three new banners now offer tasks which change every day; a particular highlighted mission, a bounty on a specific named boss, and a specified type of PvP challenge. In exchange for completing these tasks, new Zaishen Coins are offered, which can be exchanged for item rewards of varying quality. Daily Quests have arrived in Guild Wars.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/29/a-quota-of-quests/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>A Quota of Quests</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/29/a-quota-of-quests/">A Quota of Quests</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:00:00 EST.

This Tuesday, April 28th, <a href="http://www.guildwars.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">Guild Wars</span></a> will be turning 4 years old. In true <a href="http://www.arena.net">ArenaNet</a> fashion, the game has kicked off <a href="http://www.guildwars.com/events/ingame/four_year_anniversary/default.php">an epic event</a> that will last until Noon on April 29th. There is much of the usual festivities we've come to expect from <span style="font-style: italic;">Guild Wars</span>, such as sugary treats, fireworks, Rollerbeetle Racing, the Dragon Arena and much more. Those characters turning four will receive their special four-year birthday mini pets on April 28th, but as an added bonus, those characters celebrating their 1-, 2- or 3-year birthdays will also receive a mini pets from their corresponding year.<br /><br />If that's not enough, there's the brand new April update, just released last night. This update isn't a simple skill balance or bug fix, it actually introduces new mechanics and exciting new features to the game. We were given a teaser about this update earlier this month, but now the complete details, and some new surprises have arrived. Read on past the cut below to find out more details on these features.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/24/guild-wars-celebrates-their-fourth-year-in-style/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Guild Wars celebrates their fourth year in style</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/24/guild-wars-celebrates-their-fourth-year-in-style/">Guild Wars celebrates their fourth year in style</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:30:00 EST.
