Guild Wars 4th anniversary: lots of goodies coming
We’re quickly approaching the fourth anniversary of Guild Wars. ArenaNet took a bit of a risk at launch – an MMO with no monthly fees? Buy once and play free forever? Regular new content updates and expansions? Committed support from the developer for the future?
Madness. But they made a great game, and not only is Guild Wars still here, it continues to grow. To celebrate the fourth anniversary, ArenaNet have announced some new content for us all.
Along with the standard birthday gifts of special miniature pets, ArenaNet will also be delivering a Guild Wars update which will give us:
- Storage upgrades! Four more slots to store weapons and armour, along with a special fifth slot which can only be obtained during the fourth anniversary celebrations
- Zaishen Menagerie – a place to store your pets. You can also unlock new pets, get full stats, and ask the Zaishen to evolve your existing pets. Run your own zoo and show off the bizarre creatures you’ve tamed from across the world
- Zaishen Challenge Quests: Mission, Bounty, and PvP. Head to the Great Temple of Balthazar to replay specific missions and quests from the three Guild Wars campaigns. Or hunt down a boss within dungeons, or expand on the existing Zaishen PvP battles.

The celebrations will start on April 23rd, with the opening of the Shing Jea Boardwalk, and the return of everyone’s favourite games and challenges across the three campaigns.
More content for Guild Wars will be coming through April – keep on eye on ArenaNet’s fourth annniversary page for more information. The birthday event calendar also has the full run of events over the fourth anniversary weekend.
