That&#8217;s an impressive accomplishment by any measure, and ArenaNet isn&#8217;t letting the anniversary pass unnoticed. The studio has rolled out a new content update that makes a range of previously-inaccessible promotional items from the early days of Guild Wars available to everyone, and there&#8217;s also a new edition of the game that includes, well, <em>everything<\/em>, that&#8217;s on sale until the end of April.<\/p>\n<p>The new-to-you items in Guild Wars&#8217; newest content update were previously &#8220;only obtainable as pre-order and territorial bonuses from the mid-2000s,&#8221; ArenaNet said, and I think finally putting them in the game for one and all is a cool move: I can see why some people might want to hold onto the &#8220;I was there when the world was born&#8221; exclusivity of these things, but really, you&#8217;ve had two decades\u2014it&#8217;s time to give sharing a chance, and what better time to do it than the 20<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary?<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but there&#8217;s a catch. Those items will only be available as rare drops from high-level enemies, so if you want them, you&#8217;re going to have to work for them. If that doesn&#8217;t sound like your idea of a good time, you&#8217;ll also be able to snag a selection of limited-release miniatures as non-tradeable items from Merrise in Embark Beach\u2014but only until May 6.<\/p>\n<p>New upgrades for main-hand weapons are also being added as rare drops: &#8220;These &#8216;of the Profession&#8217; modifiers will set the level of the named profession\u2019s primary attribute to as much as 5, even if you wouldn\u2019t normally have access to that attribute, granting new build possibilities to established characters,&#8221; ArenaNet explained. Importantly, weapons bearing the modifiers will also have groovy glowing streaks when you wave them around.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\"
