Guild Wars Factions was announced at the Guild Wars website on January 06, 2006.[1] and released on April 28, 2006[2]. It is the first stand-alone tie-in game to the Guild Wars franchise. Factions is a stand-alone product. The game is named Factions because of the new feature which allows players to join forces with one of the two rival factions, Luxon and Kurzick, who fight for total control over the new continent of Cantha. The battles that follow will have an immediate effect on the game world.
Players with Guild Wars that purchase the expansion will be able to travel back and forth between Cantha and Tyria with their characters. Players that only purchase Factions will get access to all eight professions - however, they will only have the Factions campaign and the full skillset of the new professions at their disposal and no access to the those of the original campaign. In addition, there will be two extra character slots added for those who own the original and decide to buy and link Factions to their existing account. The original Guild Wars continent and campaign will not be available to those who purchase Factions only.
Apart from Cantha and its full length campaign, Factions introduces two new professions - The Assassin and The Ritualist. Factions will also bring new armors, new skills, new gameplay modes and much more into the game[3].
