"Hello friends!

The 20th Anniversary of Guild Wars is approaching on April 28th, 2025! This year, our annual Anniversary Celebration festival will start a week earlier than usual - beginning on April 15th and running through May 6th.

On April 15th, we're also releasing a special anniversary update that includes:

  • Permanently adding previously limited weapons to world drop tables
  • New permanent quests that reward untradeable copies of certain limited-release miniatures when you revisit classic content
  • And you'll want to keep your eyes open for some other new loot appearing as you hunt for weapons.

This is your chance to complete your collections, revisit your greatest triumphs, and hunt for exciting new loot!

We'll share more details next week. Get ready to celebrate 20 years of Guild Wars! "

The following image was also included on the forums, and while not described, this is an image of what used to be the Team Arena lobby. So uh... neat. Whatcha doin' there, anet OwO.

Happy Spring, everyone! Though where you are may not be warming up just yet (I know it isn't for me), the end is in sight! And speaking of things happening soon - this Saturday is the first one of a new month, which means it's time for another art party hosted by my guild, Verdant Shield [VS]!

For those not familiar, art parties are a concept carried over from Final Fantasy XIV: in-game get-togethers for artists of all kinds to hang out, chat, and create together! For GW2 parties there’s more of an emphasis on hanging out and gathering references during the party itself, and then in the days/weeks following to work on your creations at your own pace and then post to the shared art party tag. We’ve used the same one (#VSArtParty) since the very beginning so you can go allll the way back and explore what people have made! The most important thing to keep in mind though is this: the ‘goal’ of an art party isn’t to be drawn, but to draw others, and share with the community!

Time and /squadjoin information is below the cut, but will also be posted again on the day of the party as squads go up!
