The Return of EvIL
|
The Last Pride [EvIL] is a fearsome and familiar name in the PvP world. After dominating the GvG scene for an extensive period of time, EvIL retired. But now, EvIL is back with some of its original members in a new guild called The Return. This newly formed guild is just as competitive as the old school EvIL, and has their sights set on GvG domination.
To learn more about the history of the guild and their new face in the world, check out this article.

Bogus Videos and Security Concerns
|
Recently, scammers have posted two bogus videos on popular internet hosting sites to try to trick Guild Wars players into revealing their account information. One video alleges to show players how to hack into Guild Wars, while the other offers early entry into the Guild Wars 2 beta. Both of these videos are completely bogus and are directly linked to recent account thefts. Do not fall for these scams. Remember: never give your account password out to anyone. Also, when legitimate information about the Guild Wars 2 beta is available, you will find it first on www.guildwars.com.
