Guild Wars 1 - End of an Era Party

Hello Everyone!

As the launch of Guild Wars 2 approaches....myself and the GW-EN Krewe were approached about having a party in GW 1 to celebrate good times from the past and celebration of the future in Guild Wars 2. With that---we decided to have a party where it all began.....

Ascalon City!

So join us in Ascalon City International 1 (More districts will be attended to as the need rises) as we celebrate our future with the Guild Wars Community!

The event will be from 12pm-3pm Central (-6 GMT) (or longer if need be )

August 18th


Prizes?

Several Districts will be hosted by a variety of groups and individuals from the community. We are not naming who is hosting the districts but the prizes and activities will be as follows:

In-District Trivia - 20 nostalgic questions asked every 5-10 minutes in the district with Hall of Monument themed prizes

On-air Trivia- A Variety of GW 1 Blast from the Past trivia with Large Prize Packs aiming to help out with Hall of Monument goals - Tune in via - gw-en.com and help us celebrate the launch of our Brand New Website!

Prizes for above are somewhat listed below...but many contributors will have items they are bringing to the event that day for a massive spoiling of the community!

So far on-hand we have loot for:


1 Digital Standard Edition of Guild Wars 2

We also are putting together a Video/Audio Thank you Card for Arenanet.

Facebook Polls

We will be doing 5 polls - 1 for each day leading up to the event starting on Monday! Make sure to vote and pay attention to the topics--you might just get a heads up on some particularly great prize Results will be announced throughout the event and more details will be announced about the outcome during the event!

I have a bunch of stuff that may be of use for people's HOM. Nothing too expensive though.

are we doing the best hero/villain voting stuff?

looks sooo good, I hope to (remember to ) come!!

That sounds like a great idea! We should definitely do that Maybe we will set something on the GW-EN Facebook page --because they have a built in vote function now.

If more people can come up with things to vote about--maybe all week starting on Monday--leading up to the event--we can have different things to vote on and remember

and which ever hero wins, we can let someone go and accept their reward since there's so many tonics out now.

Just a reminder and update for everyone ---get those Thank you message recordings into Crimson before Wednesday if you can! If you have any extra memorable Screenshots as well --send those along Please limit yourself to 3 Screenies max please haha

Also--I was just confirmed that we will be giving out 1 copy of Guild Wars 2 - Digital Standard Edition among our on-air prizes at this event! WOOT See you all there

Just realised i am so new to GW that i do not have access to Ascalon City - Will try and catch up with it on GW2Live
