This will all take place next weekend, and the FAQ explains how Guild Wars players and non-players can get set up.

Actualy, its not an expantion pack, its a stand alone game as all the GW chapters are. You can add it onto any other chapters you own like an expantion or you can buy it and play it standalone. Best of both worlds.

Please note that there will be more events soon apart from the one on the 20th.
