Legendary, 20-year-old MMORPG Guild Wars just got an unexpected update

In the MMO boom of the 2000s, Guild Wars stood proudly alongside the likes of World of Warcraft and Runescape as one of the top dogs. While its sequel is the main focus for developer ArenaNet these days, the original Guild Wars is back in the spotlight today to celebrate its 20th birthday. A brand new edition of Guild Wars has just launched, collating all of the game’s content together in one bundle. The best part is that, if you’re swift, it’s an absolute bargain as well. As an added bonus, a new update has just hit the game, adding in long-lost items that were previously time-limited or region-locked and introducing all-new weapon upgrades.
