NCsoft and ArenaNet's fee-free MMO role-player/combat extravaganza Guild Wars Factions takes place on the Asia-inspired continent of Cantha, where players create a character from eight distinct professions - including the newly created Assassin and Ritualist - and join an epic quest that pits two warring factions - the Luxons and the Kurzicks - against an ancient evil, and against each other. As players become embroiled in this brutal war of conquest, new missions will provide both role-playing fans and competitive PvP players the opportunity to help determine the fate of Cantha.
