Can someone possibly make a link to somthing telling about the guilds..

I am confused is the guild thing part of singleplayer (e.g. storyline) or
is it like a clan//faction that other players create?

Well guilds are part of the backstory, you can find the lore here;
http://www.guildwars.com/gameinfo/lore/default.htmlhttp://www.guildwars.com/gameinfo/lore/default.html

Also guilds are indeed clans/factions that are player created.

you may want to go here.

as for leaders?.. 1 leader..many officers..elected by leader..then members.

that should help. (btw..search option is your best friend)


Lore is merely the story behind the game. Chapters are future expansions to the game.

You can do PvP whenever but to do GvG you have to be in a guild.

You can PvP when you get to Post-Seared Ascalon in the arena, and there's also an arena in Lion's Arch. Not sure about where the others are. Once you explore to those areas, PvP will be an open option.

If you make a prebuilt character, then your map will open up both Lion's Arch and the Tombs, and you can PvP there right away.

Someone came from WoW. Me too, btw. PvP in GW is nothing like WoW. Instead of ganking and zerging you have actual battles between same sized group. Amazing!! Win with strategy instead of being the Alliance and zerging.

It's entirely different. PvP only happens in arenas that are not free for all.

So when you enter a PvP arena and not GvG you do FFA?

There are various types of battle that you can participate in, I'm sure a full list is floating around somewhere here. Chances are someone really nice will post the different types here too... If your lucky.

GvG (guild vs Guild) sanctioned guild battles (issuing of challenges between guilds) - there are also different play options involved in this (defense..seige..for 2)

PvP (arenas) 4 vs 4 gladiatorial areas where random party groups are created and sent to wage battle (though if you intentionally go into there with four friends it's not so random for you anymore )

GvGvG - there is an option of this in an area of the Tombs it is actually 5 guilds...2 pairs facing off on each side..with the winner of each crossing to the middle to fight the odd one out...becoming a potential 3-way guild battle that only one can win.

You might be interested in checking out this thread that discusses the length and type of various battles in Guild Wars.

The following link I found to be one of the best to show the intensity of consideration the better PVP players go through, some innocent new member started the thread, I doubt he knew what he was getting into. For me this was the best discussion about battles I've seen...

Hope this is helpful.

a question on PvP:
i have a monk/ele player so im more of a role player than a straight 1v1 PvP player. However im playing with my brother and we arent too much into guilds yet, so is there any 2v2 PvP options?
