As gamers flock to 'Guild Wars 2,' some get the boot

Looking for a way to celebrate the release of a certain fantasy title with other like-minded fans? Launch events for Guild Wars 2 are coming a few days after the game's release, but don't go blaming the launch parties for being

Guild Wars 2: Developed by ArenaNet for the PC, the sequel promises more innovation in the MMORPG genre. Like its predecessor, it won't require a subscription fee but only a purchase to install the game. It features a dynamic event system that reacts

Guild Wars 2 has been a long time coming. Years of previews, discussions, developer diaries, demos, betas and a head-start weekend have led to this point: Guild Wars 2 finally unlocks for everyone tonight.

If you've heard Guild Wars 2 killed the kill-and-fetch quest, think again. The black beast of MMORPG gaming is still here, bidding you slaughter entire villages for a handful of coins and quests and having you stoop from heroic glory to pick up fruit

Characters in Guild Wars 2 are good at lots of things: Fighting, spellcasting, animal-summoning. But they're also really good at standing still. No, seriously!
