Guide to Guild Wars Factions
Guild Wars
Guild Wars is a MMORPG that has three different campaigns that are available for players to purchase and play for free each month (after the initial purchase of the games). Players can buy whichever campaigns they wish, and play them in any order. Guild Wars Factions is the second released in the trilogy, bringing with it new missions, armor, alliances and more!
New Alliances
Guild Wars Factions brought with it new alliances. Guild alliances are now able to choose a side to fight for: Kurzick or Luxon. Depending on their choice, they are able to earn faction points to donate to their alliance to claim a town, earn new skills, amber or jade (for armor), or earn scrolls to enter elite missions. Each allegiance offers a title, which players can use towards their characters titles. This title is account wide, so faction earned on one will help with all of your characters.
