First of all, sorry about my english.

The members of the norwegian game site, gamer.no, visited GW in München and asked them a few questions about the upcoming GW Factions. Maybe some of these news are old, but I havent seen them before so I post it here.

Here are the most important news (free translation by me):

Probably the most interesting part of the GW Factions is the continues fight between the to faction sides.....,
If your faction afther a few days concer new teritories they can capture citys and hold them. The citys that are captured will be split between guild alliances who will get the control over the city. The citys are again split in smaller parts and guildalliances that have better "reputation" will get control over better citys and better cityparts that the others. As a member of a guildalliance that controls a city you can get acsess to regions no-one else have, elitemissions and much more.

Interesting combination
Anather new and exiting part of the game I want to mention is compiting missions. This is not direkt PvP, but 2 teams that fight against each other to get the controll over ressurses. In a mission we got to see, one team with help of huge turtels with cannons on there back attacked some "gates" to get throught to get the ressurses, while the other team was defending it. It looked much more like a strategi game and made it an interesting combination of previous PvP and this new form for fighting.

Qustions:
When you decide for which side you will fight in GW Factions, can you change the side later on?

-You do missions for different factions and if you help one of them and get good reputation there, the other side will become more cold thowered you. You can still change the side if you want, but than you have to start doing missions for them.

Woud you say that the PvP will be better in GW Factions?

- On many ways it will be. You will get a new, different form for PvP, specialy becouse of the the fights between the factions and the front that will move depending on how the fight is going on. Another thing is that there will be possible to fight bigger battles since in some of the missions it will be possible to play with 12 players on both sides.

Will it be new playable rases in the future?

- Yes, its a prosses that we are working on and will probably come in the future.
