Guild Wars is 20 years old now, and that means it's time for a content update and 'the biggest discount in Guild Wars' history'

Somehow, the fantasy MMO Guild Wars is 20 years old: It launched in 2005 and it's still ticking over today. That's an impressive accomplishment by any measure, and ArenaNet isn't letting the anniversary pass unnoticed. The studio has rolled out a new content update that makes a range of previously-inaccessible promotional items from the early days of Guild Wars available to everyone, and there's also a new edition of the game that includes, well, everything, that's on sale until the end of April.

The new-to-you items in Guild Wars' newest content update were previously "only obtainable as pre-order and territorial bonuses from the mid-2000s," ArenaNet said, and I think finally putting them in the game for one and all is a cool move: I can see why some people might want to hold onto the "I was there when the world was born" exclusivity of these things, but really, you've had two decades—it's time to give sharing a chance, and what better time to do it than the 20th anniversary?
