Guild Wars: E3 for everyone

[Indecisive]

The Guild Wars E3 Experience:

ArenaNet is proud to welcome you to our Guild Wars E3 experience! From May 12 through 14, while Guild Wars is being demonstrated on the E3 show floor, players from around the world will be able to play the same experience over the Internet. This will give you a chance to take part in an E3 demonstration, something that is usually offered only to industry insiders!
This is a opportunity for you to play Guild Wars months before release, months even before beta testing. Our E3 for Everyone event will show our game in its alpha state. There may be glitches, but we're confident that the Guild Wars E3 Experience will make you a passionate fan.

This one-time-only E3 experience will include solo player quests, cooperative missions that begin the Guild Wars story, a competitive arena for multiplayer combat, and a competitive worldwide tournament that will run continuously with multiple levels and a variety of game types.

Please check back for further updates including a Guild Wars E3 Gameplay Guide.
