The
follow up to the popular, not to mention free, online RPG Guild Wars
will be unveiled to fans via a Beta Testing event scheduled for March
24, 2005.The beta test
will be available to all current Guild Wars players, as well as those
who have the pre-order package for Guild Wars Factions, according to the
game's developer Arena.Net.
With
a user base of approximately 3 million gamers already playing Guild
Wars, this beta event will prove to be the larges of its kind ever to be
attempted.Considering that most
high capacity beta stress tests don’t even try something
this big, Arena.Net seems to be excited about the event.
"To
be able to open up Guild Wars Factions and share this one-time
experience with so many people is truly a thrill," said Mike
O'Brien, ArenaNet co-founder. "Guild Wars players will get
the opportunity to play Factions before the game's release while
sharing the game with up to three of their friends. We can't wait for
the feedback from the seasoned players, as well as those who join us for
the first time on March 24."
