Guild Wars Casino Clampdown

Players running casinos within Guild Wars have been warned that this behaviour will not be tolerated. In a warning on the official website, NCSoft has warned players against such tactics:

"Due to the proliferation of casinos and their potential for player abuse, we will be blocking the accounts of those who advertise or operate casinos or other gambling schemes within the game, effective immediately. Players should be aware that casinos are a breach of the Rules of Conduct, as is the advertisement or promotion of cheats, hacks, of exploits. None of these things will be accepted within Guild Wars."

Meanwhile NCSoft is celebrating the success of the game as, for the fourth week running, it remains at the top of the PC charts in the UK and is also riding high at the top of the French, German, Spanish, Scandinavian and North American charts.

"The success of Guild Wars in Europe and North America has been fantastic," says Dirk Metzger, Marketing Director, NCsoft Europe. "The high demand for retail copies is certainly keeping us busy - but in a good way."
