ArenaNet and NCsoft Announce October 27 as Global Release Date for Guild Wars Nightfall
Box Art Debuted and Premium Items Announced for Collector’s Edition


August 24, 2006 (BELLEVUE, WA) – ArenaNet® and NCsoft® today announced that Guild Wars Nightfall™, the next game in the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Guild Wars® franchise, will be available in stores worldwide October 27, 2006. The news was announced today from the Guild Wars Factions™ World Championship in Leipzig, Germany.

In this third Guild Wars campaign, players must fight to hold back the night as a mad ruler attempts to free an outcast god and bring darkness to the continent of Elona. But players won’t fight alone. Guild Wars Nightfall introduces new customizable Heroes who level up, follow player instructions in combat, and use skills and equipment of the player’s choosing. These Heroes will follow the player through savage coasts, ancient monuments, and poisonous deserts during an epic story that spans twenty missions and hundreds of quests. And for the ultimate one-on-one challenge, competitive players can choose to enter the new Hero vs. Hero Battles, where they group with a custom team of Heroes and fight against other players from around the world and their customized groups of Heroes.

Guild Wars Nightfall will be available in both Standard and Collector’s Editions. The highly-coveted, limited run, Collector’s Edition will include the Guild Wars Nightfall game as well as a Making of Guild Wars Nightfall behind-the-scenes DVD, a collector’s art book, collectible skill pins, a character mini-standee, a poster-sized map of Elona, the Guild Wars Nightfall soundtrack CD, and more.

Guild Wars, an instant bestseller worldwide upon its release in April 2005, and Guild Wars Factions, the number one game in both North America and Europe earlier this year, are global online roleplaying games. Guild Wars Nightfall continues the tradition of inviting players to immerse themselves in an epic storyline centered in a vibrant fantasy setting. Eager fans can get the Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack in stores on September 15, and the Guild Wars Nightfall Standard Edition and Guild Wars Nightfall Collector’s Edition on October 27, 2006.

The problem with Guild Wars isn't that it's too short, it's that if you want to finish the game or get something new, you have to do alot of the same crap over, and over.....and over again. That's what has turned me off of it for a while.
Be careful saying it's too short, b/c I don't think Grey has finished a campaign yet
:o :P

Nope, I think I'm like 3 missions from finishing the Prophecies campaign, and I have no idea how far along in Factions I am.
