Free preview of Guild Wars: Factions
Fancy slipping into the shoes of an Assassin for a weekend? Or perhaps you're more the Ritualist kind? These two new character classes are part of the upcoming Guild Wars expansion, Guild Wars: Factions, and ArenaNet are offering a free preview weekend for anyone (existing player or not) to try out some of the expansion's features.
The free weekend runs from midnight PST on January 20th to midnight PST on the 22nd, and a game key and downloadable client are available from the Guild Wars website. Guild Wars has frequently featured free trials, and this may be part of the reason it's attained such healthy growth; although it's still squarely in the shadow of a certain other MMO, the lack of a monthly fee and these trials make Guild Wars a lot more accessible to some gamers.
