Computer Games Magazine Provides Exclusive Access To Guild Wars Beta Weekend Event
The December issue of Computer Games Magazine will hit newsstands this week offering its readers and avid online gamers exclusive access to a special Beta Weekend Event for the new competitive online role-playing game, Guild Wars®.
Through a strategic partnership with game software publisher Ncsoft® and its wholly owned subsidiary ArenaNet®, Computer Games Magazine, the largest independent computer games publication, gives readers a unique code they can use to access an exclusive Beta Weekend Event. Each event, scheduled for the first weekend of each month, will focus on a new experience in the game and new regions, missions and game mechanics. The first Beta Weekend Event in which gamers can access Guild Wars is scheduled for Nov. 6-8.
Computer Games Magazine readers will be able to participate in any single Beta Weekend Event. The advance codes to access Guild Wars will be available to Computer Games Magazine’s readers and to players who purchase the Guild Wars preorder box at retail.
According to Computer Games Magazine Editor Steve Bauman this exclusive opportunity was made possible through the publication’s deep relationships in the computer game industry and with NCsoft and ArenaNet. "We were excited to have the opportunity to partner with NCsoft and provide this exclusive access to our loyal readers," said Bauman. "We look forward to inviting the online gaming community to experience the evolution of the game during its beta period."
In addition to providing its readers exclusive access to the Guild Wars Beta Weekend Event, Computer Games Magazine’s December issue provides a six-page editorial spread in which its experienced staff presents a detailed preview, exploring key aspects of the competitive online role-playing game.
The next Guild Wars Beta Weekend Event is scheduled for the first weekend of December. NCsoft and ArenaNet plan to release Guild Wars in early 2005.
