Guild Wars 2 Stronghold 24-Hour Open Beta

You can currently save 75% on Guild Wars 2's Digital Heroic Edition and Digital Deluxe Editions if you buy it at their site before the Stronghold open beta.

What is Stronghold? It's a new take on PvP, summed up thusly:

In Stronghold, you and your allies will attempt to infiltrate enemy lines, break their gates, and kill the opposing lord. If you succeed in defeating the lord, the game ends. Champion’s Dusk features NPCs you can hire for supply to help your team tear down the enemy’s gates and take down their defenses. You can battle for control of powerful heroes that become available through channeling mist essence at timed intervals. These heroes support the players as they push through the enemy base and—if they survive the battle to the lord’s room—trigger a devastating attack.

You can find out more here.

Running on Tuesday 14th April, you can either take part in the PvP yourself, or watch the Twitch stream to see a rotating cast of gamers playing. Tune in here.
