Guild Wars 2 rethinks the outdated class restrictions of other games, giving players the tools and skills they need to play with friends regardless of their class.

? Player vs. Player and World vs. World: Competitive multiplayer in Guild Wars 2 consists of two exciting modes PvP serves up intense small-unit combat that focuses on skill and strategy, not gear. WvW pits entire servers of players against each other in a two-week-long war on a series of huge maps.

?Our games have always been well-received in Europe, but this level of enthusiasm is both awesome and humbling?, said Mike O?Brien, president and co-founder of ArenaNet. ?It also impresses upon us the responsibility we have to our players and explains why we?ve taken steps recently to constrain sales of Guild Wars 2 to ensure the highest quality of service. Of course, we hope to remedy this in the near future.?
