The original Guild Wars was a fantasy MMO made in the Tyria world and released by NCSoft in 2005. It was replaced by the sequel Guild Wars 2 in 2012. Many Guild Wars 2 items continue the name of gw1, like guild wars ecto. Guild Wars 1 is not dead, but it was half a decade ago after ArenaNet automated its maintenance in 2013. Despite this, a small dedicated core continued to guild and war, but eventually, the demise of time took its toll. Guild Wars might have been superseded by Guild Wars 2, but the original online RPG game’s still going strong. When its 15th anniversary, to celebrate, besides the existing gw gold, the devs had launched an update packed with shiny new weapons, in-game goodies, and more.
