Guild Wars 2006 World Championship

I guess its time to dust off the game and get crackin? 50 grand for first is not half bad really.

1st Place: $50,000
2nd Place: $25,000
3rd Place: $10,000
4th Place: $10,000
5th Place: $2,500
6th Place: $2,500

Important to note for new players:

A player new to Guild Wars may join a guild at any time, but will not be eligible to participate in the playoffs unless he or she was an account holder as of 08:00 (a.m.) GMT on December 5, 2005 and has met all other eligibility requirements.

Sounds really cool though.

Also not to discourage anyone but the top teams in Guild Wars are really really good, anyone who wasn’t already playing fanatically would be very hard pressed to qualify for the tournament… of course there’s always next season…

Isn’t that pretty much the case for every game though?

Yes, although the heavily team oriented nature of Guild Wars PvP combat plus the RPG aspects (unlocking skills, items, etc…) makes it a little harder to play catch up than in a lot of other games.
