ArenaNet hosts a free trial week starting Friday for new players to check out GW2.

If you have yet to try Guild Wars 2, now is the perfect time to check it out as ArenaNet is hosting a trial week for the game starting tomorrow, September 25th. Those who are interested can already sign up for a free trial account by going to register.guildwars2.com/trial. After creating an account, trial players can go ahead and download the game to be ready for when the trial starts tomorrow.

Free trial players will have some limitations placed on them. While they will be able to enter Edge of the Mists, the main World vs World maps will be off limits (which should stop any tampering given that the Fall 2014 WvW Tournament is currently underway). Some chat channels will also be limited including any map chats. Trial accounts can whisper people, but only after the recipient has added the trial account user as a friend. This system will hopefully prevent any spamming while still allowing friends play with each which is why trial accounts will have no restrictions when it comes to guilds or parties.

The free trial only lasts for a week, ending on October 1st, so don't delay! Create your free trial account at register.guildwars2.com/trial.
