Official: Sorrow's Furnace on 09/07

Official Press Release from NCsoft/ArenaNet

ArenaNet Releases their Guild Wars Update: Sorrow’s Furnace to Launch September 7th

New Explorable Areas Available Free to All Guild Wars Players

Bellevue, Wa. (August 29, 2005) -- ArenaNet®, creators of the #1 selling competitive online roleplaying game, Guild Wars®, announces the release of the much-anticipated Guild Wars update: Sorrow’s Furnace. To be released on September 7, 2005, the update will be available free to all Guild Wars account holders and will stream to them live at game log-in.

Sorrow's Furnace offers two large, explorable regions: Grenth's Footprint and Sorrow's Furnace. These regions will provide exciting new high-level content to Guild Wars players, and will offer new quests, new monsters, new items, and more. For characters who have completed their ascension in Guild Wars, these areas will provide new opportunities for exploration and reward.

Guild Wars is a competitive online roleplaying game that rewards player skill more than time played. Players explore a rich fantasy game world, acquire skills, build personalized characters and compete in head-to-head guild battles with players from around the world.

In addition, DirectSong will simultaneously release new music for Sorrow’s Furnace. DirectSong, the world's first official music expansion service, will offer a Sorrow's Furnace music Mini-Pak free of charge to all Guild Wars account holders who register at their website: www.directsong.com. The Mini-Pak also features a preview of Guild Wars Battle Pak 1, the first full music upgrade announced for Guild Wars, available end of September.

Giddy up.

GAHG!
im scared of the new items

well for months we knew this was coming. I for one am not sorry your greed got the better of you.

no sympathy whatsoever. better go back to FoW for more.

enjoy

I collect charr carvings do you think I will get new items to trade for?

I'm looking forward to the music upgrade too. I was going to buy the music expansion while i was at direct song a moment ago but since i am anti-paypal and my credit card company wants my blood, i would need another payment option.

Any chance i can go to the post office and acquire some American $'s to send? lol

September the 7th...can't wait!! Roll on the furnace, yay. (polishes l33t weapon of dwarfslaying)

"For characters who have completed their ascension in Guild Wars, these areas will provide new opportunities for exploration and reward."

what? no whining about this yet?

Does it say anything about an updated 15k tormentors set?

lol
Pie keep dreaming ^^
and ye i dont feel srry for myself
ill get that armor 1 way or another ^^

only to hope that i get my inet connection running stable by them...

The only people that are not ascended these days are the PvPers, and they could care less.


As for me, YIIIPEE!

Wow....perfect timing for me...absolutely perfect.....my birthday happens to be on that day WOOTAGE!!! Anet's givin' me a birthday present by accident

I should have been able to predict this...
Sorrow's Furnace comes out the day I go back to school.
The free music pack sounds interesting. If the price is reasonable I may just buy the Battle Pack...

I've been in school since August 5th, so the summer was LONG over for me. That said, it's a FREE update with a ton of cool new stuff for PvEers to check out. I don't see the downside here. Now where's my Fiery Hammer of Dwarfslaying? Muahahahaha!

I can't wait! *scratches all things off the 7th's date....then sighs at the "work" entry reinstated*

Yahoo!

I never realized that pve was a race in a unique instanced game.

About bloody time Anet!

Looking forward to it

i go back to school on the 7th too lol...

can't wait tho!
