Today's Flameseeker Chronicles is all about the current Guild Wars community: Elements I love, elements I dislike, and some I'm just unsure about.

As with any older game community, you've got a wide variety of personalities and playstyles, and seeing how they mesh with the community at large is always interesting. It would be great if everyone moved through their social circles and the general population while never conflicting or disagreeing, but ... well, we all know how often that happens on the internet.

So without further ado, follow me past the cut and let's take a look at some of the current standout groups in the Guild Wars community!

Here in the UK, the concept of Christmas in July is almost unheard of. Indeed I've only heard about it because, as a journalist, the Christmas in July events are where all the big consumer companies and department stores unveil their Christmas must-have toys and gifts. The whole thing seems much more prevalent in the US and Australia, oh and in Guild Wars.

Yes, that's right, Guild Wars. NCsoft have announced their 2009 Wintersday event, the Tyrian New Year celebrations, will be taking place between noon PST on Friday July 17th until 11:59pm PST on Sunday July 19th. It's just a matter of chatting to a seasonal priest in the decked-out locales of Ascalon City, Droknar's Forge, the Great Temple of Balthazar, Kamadan, or Lion's Arch to get teleported to the Snowball Arena. You can then do battle with other players and earn candy cane shards which can be exchanged for a wealth of seasonal gifts.

For more information, check out the official Wintersday site here.
