Guild Wars? I have a question...
So you played Guild Wars 1 and still don’t know what the name stands for exactly? It doesn’t have anything to do with GvG.

And to quote myself :P
The guild wars were a series of wars between three factions or guilds which were going on before the first game started. When the charr invaded the three factions stopped attacking each other and focused on the new threat.
Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
The name comes from the actual Guild Wars, wars that were fought in Tyria before the events that led to Prophecies. A lot of people think they’re from guild vs. guild battles, but that’s simply not the case.
