New reward system introduced into ArenaNet`s MMO allows players more freedom...

NCSoft Europe has today announced on behalf of Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, that the MMO will shortly have a new points-based reward system called â??Factionâ?? introduced to both its PvP arenas and the role-play segments.

The new system will convey a characterâ??s standing with a particular god so that for example, if a character has a stronger bond with the god of war Balthazar then Faction points will be rewarded in the place of experience points allowing gamers to unlock weapons and armour available to custom-built PvP avatars. Such unlocks have only been previously been earned during co-operative play and ArenaNet hopes that such an evolution in strategy will help the player experience their preferential game style.

Making the announcement, Stephen Reid, Content and Community Manager, NCsoft Europe said, "Guild Wars has always aimed to provide an equal footing for the PvP action and the co-operative role-playing actionâ?¦Including the option to start a PvP-only character at the maximum level has proven to be an excellent way to circumvent many of the issues that prevent casual players from even taking part in a fight against a dedicated player. The new faction system evolves this PvP/Role Play balance a step further and gives players more freedom than ever to enjoy Guild Wars in the fashion that they like best."

Weâ??ll have more on Guild Wars shortly...

GW has the best PvP system and game mechanics. GW GvG >PvP in every other game. WoW PvE may be more entertaining to some grind-lovers.

If they make it so that we have to pay to play, they will loose TONS of business! What makes Guildwars so unique is the free online play, and taking that away would be like putting guildwars down. Rusty syringe and all!

I'm guessing you LIVE in Europe.. I kinda thing it's more like America but hey, to each his own. I think Guild Wars is a decent game (I only own the first installment.) I haven't yet played all the way through, but I do like the fact that it's basically a single-player game that you can play with friends. It's a very large single player game, too. The story gets a little murky after you get past the mountain ranges, though. I've been considering whether or not I'll purchase Factions or Nightfall. I'll probably check out Nightfall since it sounds more like the original game. They did a decent job with the game and have proven that you don't need to charge huge monthly fees to run an online MMORPG. It makes one thing "Then why does WoW and EQ cost so much per month just so I can keep my character from being deleted?"
