Guild Wars players get two new companions

As we mentioned a few weeks ago, a new hero was to emerge on the Guild Wars scene for players who either bought the new Guild Wars Trilogy set or already had all three GW campaigns on their active account. Well, the time has arrived and M.O.X. the golem is ready for action! His primary profession is Dervish, and he is touted as being the largest hero in the game. Not only that, but in true Dervish fashion, he can change into five different forms. As most other heroes, M.O.X. needs a quest to unlock him, and he can be found just outside the port cities of Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center and Kamadan.

In addition to M.O.X., we're also surprised with another NPC companion. The Fire Imp is considered your very own leveling buddy which is available only to players below level 20. He can only join you for 60 minutes at a time, and has certain other restrictions to make him more of a special sidekick than a constant companion. You can check out the website for more detailed information on acquiring these special allies, including the lore-riffic backstory on M.O.X. and a video of one of his Dervish form transformations.
