We could scare you with our ghoulish puns, but we'll let Mad King Thorn take care of that. In the meantime, we're accepting submissions for the 2008 Guild Wars Halloween Art Contest. We've got fantastic prizes for the top winners, and we'll showcase their creations right here on the official website. You have until October 27th to get your entry in to us, so get cracking!
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.

August's GvG championship finished up with a battle between two veteran competitive guilds from Europe, where Stealing Society [StS] defeated Bruderschaft Der Verdammnis [BdV] in the final round. For Hero Battles, I Stone I conquered Massacre Way to become our new August champion. Congratulations to all August guilds and players! Skill usage charts, GvG results, and 1v1 results are here.
Also, we are adding August prediction points to the Xunlai Agent and updating the tonic in the Zaishen Chest. If you predicted for August in the Xunlai Tournament House, check your neighborhood Xunlai Agent after today's update to claim your Tournament Reward Points. Please note that Tournament Reward Points are distributed several minutes after the game is updated. We ask that you wait several minutes after you update your game before checking Tolkano.

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.
