Guild Wars gold news
Guild of the Week: Amazon Basin (AB)
Founded in August 2000 as a guild for Diablo II, The Amazon Basin (often referred to by members as the Basin) accepted only members who played the Amazon class. One of their main goals was to build a friendly, caring community with cheat-free members who worked cooperatively with others. Five years later, the Amazon Basin now has over 10,000 members and has successfully migrated into several other games, all while maintaining their original vision.
Although the Amazon Basin of Guild Wars takes part in PvP combat, Basin members seem to gain more enjoyment from helping others. Thus, its members have written numerous helpful guides and can often be found conducting tours of the key landmarks in Tyria.
You might wonder why members of the Basin are playing Guild Wars. After all, a large portion of the game focuses on player-versus-player combat. The reason can, perhaps, best be summed up in this statement made by member Koalachan:
"Before Guild Wars came along, I would have said I was a purebred PvE player. In the interest of testing, I, with many others in the Basin, made a concerted effort to take part in PvP. What I found was not the moronic ganking I anticipated. Instead, we took our Team concept to the PvP playing field and were quick to realize that PvP and Cooperative are not two mutually exclusive terms. That experience has altered my entire perception of PvP, which I now also take back to other games."
