As we mentioned a few weeks ago, a new hero was to emerge on the Guild Wars scene for players who either bought the new Guild Wars Trilogy set or already had all three GW campaigns on their active account. Well, the time has arrived and M.O.X. the golem is ready for action! His primary profession is Dervish, and he is touted as being the largest hero in the game. Not only that, but in true Dervish fashion, he can change into five different forms. As most other heroes, M.O.X. needs a quest to unlock him, and he can be found just outside the port cities of Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center and Kamadan.In addition to M.O.X., we're also surprised with another NPC companion. The Fire Imp is considered your very own leveling buddy which is available only to players below level 20. He can only join you for 60 minutes at a time, and has certain other restrictions to make him more of a special sidekick than a constant companion. You can check out the website for more detailed information on acquiring these special allies, including the lore-riffic backstory on M.O.X. and a video of one of his Dervish form transformations.

Actually, the statement that you can only have the Fire Imp for 60 minutes at a time is misleading. The cooldown for summoning the Imp is 60 minutes, but so is the duration. If you don't get the Imp killed, and adventure in 60 minute chunks between zoning, you can have him with you all the time.

I really hate how NCsoft is double, triple, and septuple-dipping their games these days. First was Lineage II with the original release, Epic Collection, and 4th Anniversary Edition, then City of Heroes and its iterations, but Guild Wars takes the cake with its original release, Collector's Edition, Game of the Year Edition, 2008 Game Of The Year Edition, Special Edition, Platinum Edition, Factions Platinum Edition, and now the Trilogy/5th Anniversary Edition, which I don't even know who it's supposed to appeal to since the beauty with these games is that you don't have to buy any of the other campaigns to play them (save for Eye of the North), and anyone late coming to the series should probably only buy one of them first instead of plucking down fifty bucks.
I know you guys must be hemmoraging a lot of money with the failure of Auto Assault and Tabula Rasa, but nickel and diming your longtime players isn't the answer - I can't even get the Fire Imp even though I bought all the titles.
