PC Gamer Magazine awarded Guild Wars Nightfall its 2006 Awards for Best MMO and Best Value. And if that was not enough – it also has been named “Best Online/Multiplayer Game” in the 2006 1UP Awards! Congrats to ArenaNet!

ArenaNet launched the Offical Guild Wars Wiki a few days ago. Factions gets some love with the Cantha New Year’s Event coming this weekend.

Gaile (ArenaNet Community Relations Manager) made some exciting announcements today on the GW Online Forums. Of note:

* Up to 20 players per town will be able to show off their miniatures in town.
* You can now log out to the character selection screen, instead of the log-in screen. No need to enter a password every time you change characters.
* Several changes have been made to the Skills and Attributes panel to offer you more customization options. Even little things like being able to swap the order of the skills in your skill bar will make things a bit easier, and there are several other functionality improvements beyond that.
* Ranger pet adjustments. We’re pleased to say we have a rudimentary version of pet controls up-and-running on our test servers.
