Guild Wars: Factions free weekend

[Wyrm]

I know the Lounge as a whole was generally unimpressed with Guild Wars when it came out, but here's hoping that some people will be willing to give it a go again.

Next weekend, Guild Wars is going to have a free world event, much like they did with the betas of the real game, only this time, it's going to be for the coming up expansion, Factions. The nifty part about this weekend is that you don't need to have an existing Guild Wars account in order to play during the weekend. The main web site has a free access key available for anyone in the Americas or Europe. If you, for some reason, don't want to go to the website to learn more (or you already have the client from the last WPE), you can just use these keys for access:

American Players:
888D9-H27PG-NM72D-PLHJ1-2HG11

European Players:
66DG9-C4RHB-9FKD6-287BJ-LRGCJ

I know those of us from Realms Beyond (and I'm assuming the Basin and other guilds people who populate here as well) will be devoting quite a bit of time to the weekend. So, even if you want to do nothing else but see how the game has developed from the betas, you should come join in. If you want to PvP with us (since that is the primary focus of the event), you're more than welcome to join us.

My account-associated character is Lurker Wyrm, feel free to say hi if you decide to go for it.

In case you're interested in what you've been missing by not playing Guild Wars, here's a shot of some of us from the RB Guild in triumph in the Team Arenas.
