gamona.de has an interview with Gaile Gray, the community manager of Guild Wars; the online role playing game is due for release on 28 April, and it has some impressive names behind it - three former members of Blizzard are on the development team. It has been available only during special beta weekend events thus far (the next is on 15-17 April), and entry to the events requires a pre-order serial key.
Gamona's questions cover whether new races and classes are coming soon, if there are plans to expand the number of continents in the game world and if any regular ingame special events are planned:
Oh, yes, special in-game events are going to be a regular feature of Guild Wars. In addition to our world tournament, which will be ongoing 24/7, we will be offering other special events on a frequent basis. The fan community has taken the website competitions to their hearts, with incredible participation in our battle report and guild emblem contests.
In-game events will offer another level of opportunity for players, and we’ve been talking about a lot of fun things coming up. I look fard to seasonal events, perhaps opportunities to get special in-game items at certain times of the year, or short-term competitions constructed with a holiday theme. The sky’s the limit, really, since with streaming technology, we can add elements of an event quite easily
